      Praise for Illusion by Emily French

      “…witty and fast-paced…”

      —Affaire de Coeur

      “…the voltage of the love scenes is no illusion.”

      —Romantic Times

      

      

      Praise for her first novel, Capture

      “The sexual tension never ebbs…”

      —Romantic Times

      “5*s.”

      —Heartland Critiques

      “…fast-paced, action-filled, and beautifully romantic…”

      —Affaire de Coeur

      “…a gripping tale of survival and love.”

      —Rendezvous

      Charity tried to control herself, but her mind was running at full speed.

      “Master Trehearne—Rafe…I have a suggestion to make. I suggest you and I should marry.”

      

      “No.” His lips snapped together like a trap. The line of his jaw was taut, and his golden eyes gleamed with hidden fire.

      

      Charity hunched her shoulders. “’Tis only common sense, after all. A practical proposition, based on matters of mutual convenience.”

      

      “I daresay.”

      

      “Did you think otherwise by chance? I don’t love you. I’m a widow with two sons, not a foolish, romantic girl of fifteen! ’Tis simple. An unmarried woman is always at a great disadvantage in this world. I therefore want a husband.”

      “If that’s all it is, you’ll soon find one easy enough.”

      

      “But I happen to want you!

      Dear Reader,

      

      Although she has published only two books, Emily French is already gaining a reputation based on the emotional impact of her stories. In this month’s novel, The Wedding Bargain, widow Charity Frey defies her Puritan community and marries Rafe Trehearne, a bondsman who has been wrongly accused of treason. Rafe is a man tortured by his past, but Charity’s loving strength and determination make him whole again.

      RITA Award finalist Laurel Ames is back with Tempted, her new novel that Affaire de Coeur calls an “exciting, unusual, and delightfully quirky Regency.” Don’t miss this story that features wonderful characters and a touch of intrigue.

      Ana Seymour’s sixth title for Harlequin Historicals, Gabriel’s Lady, is the first of two connected books set in the wilds of the Dakota Territory. And for those of you whose tastes run to medieval novels, look for Knight’s Ransom, the next title in Suzanne Barclay’s dramatic ongoing series, The Sommerville Brothers.

      We hope you’ll keep a lookout for all four titles wherever Harlequin Historicals are sold.

      

      Sincerely,

      

      Tracy Farrell

      Senior Editor
