      “Haven’t you ever felt like

      doing anything crazy?” Maxim asked

      as he brushed the side of Annegret’s

      face with the back of his hand.

      A shiver of response took her. She tried for flippancy. “If I do, I lie down until the impulse passes.”

      “And if it doesn’t?”

      He stepped into the room and pulled the door shut behind him. She heard a click as he engaged the lock. The eager leap of her heart contradicted her logical mind warning her that she didn’t want this—didn’t want to acknowledge what was between them.

      She’d told herself as long as they ignored it, it would go away. It wasn’t fair of Maxim to change the rules now. Why didn’t he simply take her out to dinner? They could discuss her ideas for his film, keep things on an even keel between them.

      Pretend nothing else was happening here.

      But then he took her in his arms and it was impossible to pretend any longer.

      Dear Reader,

      Discover a guilt-free way to enjoy this holiday season. Treat yourself to four calorie-free, but oh-so-satisfying brand-new Silhouette Romance titles this month.

      Start with Santa Brought a Son (#1698) by Melissa McClone. This heartwarming reunion romance is the fourth book in Silhouette Romance’s new six-book continuity, MARRYING THE BOSS’S DAUGHTER.

      Would a duty-bound prince forsake tradition to marry an enchanting commoner? Find out in The Prince & the Marriage Pact (#1699), the latest episode in THE CARRAMER TRUST miniseries by reader favorite Valerie Parv.

      Then, it’s anyone’s guess if a wacky survival challenge can end happily ever after. Join the fun as the romantic winners of a crazy contest are revealed in The Bachelor’s Dare (#1700) by Shirley Jump.

      And in Donna Clayton’s The Nanny’s Plan (#1701), a would-be sophisticate is put through the ringer by a drop-dead gorgeous, absentminded professor and his rascally twin nephews.

      So pick a cozy spot, relax and enjoy all four of these tender holiday confections that Silhouette Romance has cooked up just for you.

      Happy holidays!

Valerie continues to write her page-turning novels because they affirm her belief in love and happy endings.

      From Sea to Stars

      Oh Carramer, our Carramer,

      It is of you we proudly sing,

      Once scattered isles,

      None now divide,

      From sea to stars, our freedom rings.

      To you we pledge, oh Carramer,

      Our hearts and hands, our everything,

      To grow in peace

      And harmony,

      From sea to stars, as freedom rings.

      The cherished kingdom, Carramer,

      No matter what the future brings,

      Through love and courage

      Shows the way

      From sea to stars, as freedom rings.
