âI sense thereâs a whole lot more to Scarlet Anders and I want the chance to get to know every bit of her.â
As his gaze roamed her face, her throat, a dangerous fizzy feeling sailed through her body, calling her, drawing her, and as if tugged by an invisible string, she tipped a fraction closer, too. Then one corner of his mouth curved up and, appalled by her behaviorâat her cravingâshe jerked back again.
âDonât look at me like that. Youâre too â¦â She emptied her lungs, took another shallow breath. âYouâre too close.â
âItâs going to be difficult,â he said. âSitting beside you all night. Telling myself that I shouldnât.â
âShouldnât what?â
In that deep drugging voice, he murmured, âKiss you, of course.â
Dear Reader,
What more exciting place for a Mills & Boon>® Desire⢠series to be set than Washington, DC! So much glamour. So many secrets. Always so much at stake.
In A Wedding Sheâll Never Forget, Ariella Winthrop continues to unravel the big questions surrounding her past and links to the incoming president, and investigations are underway to unmask the culprits responsible for those far-reaching White House leaks. In the meantime, work at DC Affairsâthe districtâs premiere party-planning companyâmust go on.
Ex White House PR specialist Caroline Cranshaw is getting married, and the heroine of this bookâsocialite and DC Affairsâs co-proprietor Scarlet Andersâintends to make her friendâs wedding everything Caroline has imagined. Only, Scarlet finds her usually pristine feathers being ruffled by the incredibly persistent, uncommonly sexy best man. Australian technology billionaire Daniel McNeal is Scarletâs polar opposite and seems intent on stirring up all kinds of trouble for her with an annoying amount of ease. Sheâd sooner forget that man ⦠if only she could.
When Scarletâs wish comes true, itâs Daniel who suddenly finds he has trouble on his hands. And more than seduction on his mind.
Each story in this DAUGHTERS OF POWER collection is steeped in intrigue, scandal and, best of all, riveting romance. I hope you enjoy Scarlet and Danielâs installment!
Best wishes,
Robyn

Angels live among us.
This one was balanced on a stepladder, decorating an arch strewn with sunflowers and sparkling cupids. Her chic upsweep of red-gold hair drew attention to the emeralds sparkling on each earlobe, jewels that paid homage to the color of her eyes. Together with a dark skirt and peach silk blouse, the package said refined as well as hold-me-back sexy.
A pair of black pumps were paired neatly at the ladderâs feet, and as she stretched to hang the final garland, one black-stockinged leg stretched out, too. Crossing his arms, Daniel McNeal butted a shoulder against the doorjamb and came to a conclusion. Heâd bet all he was worthâand that was a lotâthat one kiss from this angel could bring a mere mortal to his knees.
Spending time with a Washington wedding planner usually didnât feature on his to-do list. The only reason Daniel was here now was to tend to his best mateâs upcoming nuptials. But frankly, right this minute he couldnât think of a single place heâd rather be.
Although, at a distance, she faced him, she hadnât noticed him yet. As she finished hanging the final cupid and began her descent, he pushed off the doorjamb and, looking forward to the introduction, sauntered over. A heartbeat later, her footing somehow slipped. Gravity pulled her weight backward and, with a delicate yip, she lost her grip. As both arms swept over her head, Daniel sprinted. Lunged. Thankfully he caught her before she hit the ground.
Heart pumping, he straightened while his angelâs wide green eyes stared up at the ceiling and her chest heaved with fright. She sucked back a fortifying breath. Eventually her startled gaze found his.
