It was just a kiss
Sure. And Texas was just a state.
She could not—would not—fall in love with Cade McGovern.
Yet she wanted Cade in a physical and emotional way that she had never wanted anyone else in her life. A sound that was part laugh, part sob broke past her lips that still tingled from his kiss.
She forced her mind away from the man and the kiss that had left her emotions in turmoil and tried to focus. Someone had slashed the SUV’s tires. The incident might have nothing to do with her, but the black market baby ring was out there somewhere, just waiting for her to surface again. Her family was probably worried sick by now. And a small part of her was terrified that the bullet had done some sort of permanent damage to her shoulder.
But none of those reasons was as compelling as her main one: She needed to leave before Cade got so far under her skin, he’d have to be surgically removed.…

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
An avid reader, Dani Sinclair didn’t discover romance novels until her mother lent her one when she’d come for a visit. Dani’s been hooked on the genre ever since. But she didn’t take up writing seriously until her two sons were grown. Since the premier of Mystery Baby for Harlequin Intrigue in 1996, Dani’s kept her computer busy. Her third novel, Better Watch Out, was a RITA Award finalist in 1998. Dani lives outside Washington, D.C., a place she’s found to be a great source for both intrigue and humor!
You can write to her in care of the Harlequin Reader Service.

Dear Reader,
I was really excited to be asked to be part of such a wonderful continuity project. It’s a bit daunting to be the first book in such an extended series, but a fun challenge. TRUEBLOOD, TEXAS involves many exceptional category writers. Talented authors B.J. Daniels, Joanna Wayne and I worked hard to make the Harlequin Intrigue TRUEBLOOD, TEXAS prequel come alive for you. We hope you’ll go on to enjoy the rest of the series as the tale of Lily and Dylan Garrett and the Finders Keepers Detective Agency continues.
Happy reading!
