Two brand-new stories in every volume…twice a month!
Duets Vol. #93
Wendy Etherington is back with a fun, fiery Double Duets about the crazy Kimballs of Baxter, Georgia. These characters create sparks—and trouble—wherever they go!

Duets Vol. #94
Dorien Kelly kicks off the month with The Girl Least Likely To…, a quirky story about a heroine nicknamed Horrible Hallie, who’s determined to change her reputation. Look for Dorien’s linked Temptation novel in April 2003—#922 The Girl Most Likely To…Sharing the volume this month is Intrigue author Delores Fossen and the delightful The Deputy Gets Her Man. Heroine Rayanne will do anything to get her Aunt Evie out of jail—but could she really date the arresting sheriff?

“Don’t jump, dear!”
Skyler glanced down from the tree at the crowd gathered below and frowned. They thought she wanted to do herself in! From an oak tree? She pointed at Fluffy. “I’m just getting a cat.” And she was stuck. “Stupid Fluffy,” she muttered.
“Name’s Jack, not Fluffy.” Skyler jerked her head at the sound of the deep, sensuous voice and promptly bopped her head on a thick branch.
“Hold tight,” he said, reaching his strong arms around her. “I’m tryin’ to impress my captain.”
Skyler blinked. Of course. The new firefighter her brother had mentioned last week. Another hero. But she couldn’t deny the flutter in her heart as he held her waist snugly and his bold gaze slid down her body.
When they reached the safety of the ground, Skyler gaped up at her gorgeous savior’s rugged, muscular body. Way up. There was just so darn much of him to absorb! All that…man. Whoa, baby!
He grasped her shoulder, as if to steady her. “Are you okay?”
Light-headed, she nodded slowly, the park starting to spin around her. Why me? was her last thought as she fainted dead away.
Dear Reader,
When I first conceived this book, the tragic events of September 11, 2001 had not yet occurred. But as I finished the story, what was foremost in my mind was the theme I started with: heroism. For a romance writer, fictional heroes are our everyday companions and beloved creations. But watching firefighters in Washington and New York, I realized just how real heroes can be.
While these stories are humorous, please have no doubt how seriously I take the issues these characters would face in real life. Local firefighters and police protect my community, just as they protect countless neighborhoods across this country. Find time for these heroes. Support them. Remember them.
