This one time, Seona’s heart commanded.
Just this one time to be with him. This one time to love him, fully and completely. This one time to grasp a life’s worth of happiness.
“Love me, Griffydd,” she pleaded fervently. “Love me now. Tonight.”
“We will be married,” he promised as he reached out for her.
She smiled at this honorable man who would not take what she was offering without some kind of promise between them.
“I will always be yours,” she replied softly, and truthfully, hoping it would be enough.
It had to be, for there was no more she could say.
“I love you with all my heart, wife-to-be,” he murmured, pressing feather-light kisses upon her forehead and cheeks. “I am yours forever.”
“Shh,” she hushed, afraid that if he called her “wife” again she would start to weep. “Later. We will speak of these things later.”
Even though she knew full well that there could be no later for them.
All they would ever have was this one time.
Dear Reader,
This holiday season, we’ve selected books that are sure to warm your heart—all with heroes who redefine the phrase “the gift of giving.” Since 1992, Margaret Moore has written seventeen full-length historicals for Harlequin and two short stories, and will soon publish her first historical for Avon Books, A Scoundrel’s Kiss. Look for it around Valentine’s Day. Critics have described her as “a master storyteller,” and “a genius of the genre.” In A Warrior’s Passion, the ninth book in her medieval WARRIOR SERIES, a young woman is forced into an unwanted betrothal before the man she truly loves—and whose child she carries—can claim her as his wife. Don’t miss this exciting story!
Linda Castle returns with the long-awaited sequel to Fearless Hearts, Territorial Bride, in which a cowgirl and an Eastern rogue must put their love to the test when she is thrown from a horse and seriously injured. The Shielded Heart by rising talent Sharon Schulze is the gripping tale of a warrior who learns to accept his special psychic gift as he teaches an enamel artisan about life and love.
Rounding out the month is Harrigan’s Bride by award-winning author Cheryl Reavis, who also writes contemporary romances for Silhouette. Here, Thomas Harrigan returns from the Civil War to marry the bedridden, abandoned daughter of his late godmother. It’s great!
Whatever your tastes in reading, you’ll be sure to find a romantic journey back to the past between the covers of a Harlequin Historical® novel.
Sincerely,
Tracy Farrell
Senior Editor

Margaret lives in Scarborough, Ontario, with her husband, two children and two cats. She used to sew and read for reasons other than research.
