      Fern wondered what it would be like to have a beautiful, button-nosed babe of her own.

      The miracle of human birth was an unknown. Fern knew enough to understand that it began with a woman…and a man.

      She could see only one side of Paul’s face as he gazed down at his daughter. What would it be like to have a child with this oh-so-handsome man? No sooner had the thought entered her head that Fern was besieged with a forceful sensation.

      Oh, my! Her thoughts were imposing a transformation. She was going to become human. Right now!

      Panic had her winging toward the doorway. She barely got to safety when she changed into flesh and blood.

      “Be still my heart,” she whispered.

      All this time she’d thought that it had been because of the baby that she had the ability to turn human. But it wasn’t wee Katy at all.

      “It’s been Paul all along.”

      Dear Reader,

      Are you headed to the beach this summer? Don’t forget to take along your sunblock—and this month’s four new heartwarming love stories from Silhouette Romance!

      Make Myrna Mackenzie’s The Black Knight’s Bride (SR #1722) the first book in your tote bag. This is the third story in THE BRIDES OF RED ROSE, a miniseries in which classic legends are retold in the voices of today’s heroes and heroines. For a single mom fleeing her ex-husband, Red Rose seems like the perfect town—no men! But then she meets a brooding ex-soldier with a heart of gold.…

      In Because of Baby (SR #1723), a pixie becomes so enamored with a single dad and his adorable tot that she just might be willing to sacrifice her days of fun and frivolity for a human life of purpose…and love! Visit a world of magic and enchantment in the latest SOULMATES by Donna Clayton.

      Even with the help of family and friends, this widower with a twelve-year-old daughter finds it difficult to think about the future—until a woman from his past moves in down the street. Rest and relaxation wouldn’t be complete without the laughter and love in The Daddy’s Promise (SR #1724) by Shirley Jump.

      And while away the last of your long summer day with Make Me a Match (SR #1725) by Alice Sharpe. A feisty florist, once burned by love, is supposed to be finding a match for her mother and grandmother…not falling for the town’s temporary vet! Matchmaking has never been so much fun.

      What could be better than greeting summer with beach reading? Enjoy!
