       Alec swept Marissa into his arms, his mouth coming down on hers.

      Yes. Yes! Marissa wound her arms around him and kissed him as if her very life had been given back to her.

      Because it had.

      

      Everything within her cried out for this moment. For at this moment, he was hers completely.

      

      And then came the urgent cry.

      

      “The baby,” she whispered, her breath heavy against his cheek.

      

      “Yours or mine?”

      

      “Yours.” Marissa was already backing away. “I’d better go see what she needs.”

      

      He could only nod, trying to pull himself together.

      

      What had he almost gone and done? If his daughter hadn’t cried out just then, heaven knows what would have happened.

      Dear Reader,

      This April, let Silhouette Romance shower you with treats.

      

      We’ve got must-read miniseries, bestselling authors and tons of happy endings!

      

      The nonstop excitement begins with Marie Ferrarella’s contribution to BUNDLES OF JOY. A single dad finds himself falling for his live-in nanny—who’s got a baby of her own. So when a cry interrupts a midnight kiss, the question sure to be asked is Your Baby or Mine?

      TWINS ON THE DOORSTEP, a miniseries about babies who bring love to the most unsuspecting couples, begins with The Sheriff’s Son. Beloved author Stella Bagwell weaves a magical tale of secrets and second chances.

      Also set to march down the aisle this month is the second member of THE SINGLE DADDY CLUB. Donna Clayton, winner of the prestigious Holt Medallion, brings you the story of a desperate daddy and the pampered debutante who becomes a Nanny in the Nick of Time.

      SURPRISE BRIDES, a series about unexpected weddings, continues with Laura Anthony’s Look-Alike Bride. This classic amnesia plot line has a new twist: Everyone believes a plain Jane is really a Hollywood starlet—including the actress’s ex-fiancé!

      Rounding out the month is the heartwarming A Wife for Doctor Sam by Phyllis Halldorson, the story of a small town doctor who’s vowed never to fall in love again. And Sally Carleen’s Porcupine Ranch, about a housekeeper who knows nothing about keeping house, but knows exactly how to keep her sexy boss happy! Enjoy!

      Dearest Readers,

      I can’t remember a time when I didn’t love babies. All except for my brother Michael, but hey, he replaced me as the center of my parents’ universe, and besides, he cried for the first two years. By the time my brother Mark came along, I was back on the baby bandwagon.

      

      There is just something about babies—all babies—that makes me melt Even energetic ones, and heaven knows I’ve had my share of those. The only reason I was brave enough to try for a second child after Jessica, who leapt off coffee tables, tried to fly and insisted on galloping on all fours in public, was because I didn’t think God would do that to me twice. I figured my second child would be calm. little did I realize that God has a sense of humor. Child number two made child number
