He’d been gentle. So gentle…
Should it have surprised her? The second Mitch had touched her tonight, the soft heat of his palm had whispered memories to her.
Molly took another deep breath, trying to quiet the flutter that had started inside her the second he’d lifted her top to dress her wound. The bathroom had been far too cramped for the two of them. Definitely too cramped for the physical attraction she’d felt crackle across the narrow gap that had separated them.
“No.” The sound of her voice forced back the images. And if that wasn’t enough, Molly patted at the edges of the tape that held the bandage in place. It still stung, giving her a sharp bite of reality.
And the reality was, she was here to bring Mitch back to Chicago. Nothing more.
Dear Harlequin Intrigue Reader,
The holidays are upon us again. This year, remember to give yourself a gift—the gift of great romantic suspense from Harlequin Intrigue!
In the exciting conclusion to TEXAS CONFIDENTIAL, The Outsider’s Redemption (#593) by Joanna Wayne, Cody Gannon must make a life-and-death decision. Should he trust his fellow agents even though there may be a traitor among their ranks? Or should he trust Sarah Rand, a pregnant single mother-to-be, who may be as deadly as she is beautiful?
Another of THE SUTTON BABIES is on the way, in Lullaby and Goodnight (#594) by Susan Kearney. When Rafe Sutton learns Rhianna McCloud is about to have his baby, his honor demands that he protect her from a determined and mysterious stalker. But Rafe must also discover the stalker’s connection to the Sutton family—before it’s too late!
An unlikely partnership is forged in To Die For (#595) by Sharon Green. Tanda Grail is determined to find her brother’s killer. Detective Mike Gerard doesn’t want a woman distracting him while on a case. But when push comes to shove, is it Mike’s desire to catch a killer that propels him, or his desire for Tanda?
First-time Harlequin Intrigue author Morgan Hayes makes her debut with Tall, Dark and Wanted (#596). Policewoman Molly Sparling refuses to believe Mitch Drake is dead. Her former flame and love of her life is missing from Witness Protection, but her superior tracking skills find him hiding out. While the cop in her wants to bring him in, the woman in her wants him to trust her. But Mitch just plain wants her back….
Wishing you the happiest of holidays from all of us at Harlequin Intrigue!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
“Men and women finding love against great emotional odds and in the face of personal danger—that’s what I attempt to deliver to my readers with each book,” says Morgan Hayes. “For me, the combination of mystery and romance is the most fulfilling. With suspense and intrigue, I’m able to develop the compelling dynamics that, I hope, will keep my readers turning the pages not only to find out ‘whodunit’ but to discover how these characters are going to survive emotionally.”
The inspiration for Hayes’s suspense stories comes from her continued research in Baltimore, Maryland—primarily with the city’s homicide unit. And quite often the inspiration for her characters comes from the admirable men and women behind the badge. With Mitch and Molly’s story, there was the added inspiration of time spent in southwest Michigan at Shady Shores, a family-owned resort that hugs the shore of Dewey Lake just northwest of Dowagiac.
Hayes herself lives along the remote and rocky shores of Georgian Bay, Ontario, but admits that she needs the occasional dose of big-city life, and frequently travels to Baltimore and beyond. Ms. Hayes’s book Seduced by a Stranger won the 1998 Romance Writers of America Mystery/Suspense Chapter’s Kiss of Death Award, and in 1996 her second Harlequin Superromance novel, Premonitions, garnered a Romantic Times Magazine Reviewers’ Choice Award.
CAST OF CHARACTERS
Mitch Drake—He’d lost everything he held precious in life and now he was on the run. But with former love Molly Sparling by his side, his heart began to heal—and to hope.
Molly Sparling—She swore the only reason she’d sought out Mitch was as a cop doing double duty to catch a ruthless killer. Still, she couldn’t help but feel like a woman in Mitch’s strong arms.
Sergio Sabatini—Known in Chicago as “Slippery” Sabatini, this mob boss would do anything to keep himself out of the can—starting with the murder of the key witness in his case, Mitch Drake, and that meddling cop, Sparling….
Leo Sparling—His only daughter, Molly, meant everything to this retired lawman, but even he couldn’t keep her safe from the dangers on her trail.
Sergeant Karl Burr—He knew Molly was a maverick and so he let her have her head. But was Molly’s “uncle” Karl getting in over his head?
Detective Adam Barclay—Molly’s partner on the force and her sole confidant—but could he truly be trusted?
Tom Sutton—This good cop’s murder spurred Molly on—but could she have saved him from the evil that stalked him?
Rachel McCloud—Tom’s former partner in Vice was a top dog detective, but just how much did she know about Tom’s murder?
In memory of Alice Nevins…
avid reader, shining light and boundless soul.
May her enduring spirit live on in the memories of all
those who call Shady Shores their “other home.”
And for Susan Bergey and Robyn Landers,
whose endless generosity and card table
made this book possible.
