Dear Reader,
Spring is on the way, and the Signature Select program offers lots of variety in the reading treats you’ve come to expect from some of your favorite Harlequin and Silhouette authors.
The second quarter of the year continues the excitement we began in January with a can’t-miss drama from Vicki Hinze: Her Perfect Life. In it, a female military prisoner regains her freedom only to find that the life she left behind no longer exists. Myrna Mackenzie’s Angel Eyes gives us the tale of a woman with an unnatural ability to find lost objects and people, and Confessions of a Party Crasher, by Holly Jacobs, is a humorous novel about finding happiness—even as an uninvited guest!
Our collections for April, May and June are themed around Mother’s Day, matchmaking and time travel. Mothers and daughters are a focus in From Here to Maternity, by Tara Taylor Quinn, Karen Rose Smith and Inglath Cooper. You’re in for a trio of imaginative time-travel stories by Julie Kenner, Nancy Warren and Jo Leigh in Perfect Timing. And a matchmaking New York cabbie is a delightful catalyst to romance in the three stories in A Fare To Remember, by Vicki Lewis Thompson, Julie Elizabeth Leto and Kate Hoffmann.
Spring also brings three more original sagas to the Signature Select program. Hot Chocolate on a Cold Day tells the story of a Coast Guard worker in Michigan who finds herself intrigued by her new downstairs neighbor. Jenna Mills’s Killing Me Softly features a heroine who returns to the scene of her own death, and You Made Me Love You, by C.J. Carmichael, explores the shattering effects of the death of a charismatic woman on the friends who adored her.
And don’t forget, there is original bonus material in every single Signature Select book to give you the inside scoop on the creative process of your favorite authors! Happy reading!

CHAPTER ONE
“I THOUGHT WE WERE going to an exhibit on butterflies,” Sylvia Preston said, staring into the glass case at the formidable ivory object that was—quite clearly—not a butterfly.
Beside her, Tina shrugged. “You don’t need butterflies, Syl.” She made a sweeping gesture, her arm encompassing the ornate room and the exhibit cases that filled it. “This is good for you.”
Ever since the first day they’d met as freshman roommates at UCLA, Tina had presumed to know what was best for Sylvia. A trait that Sylvia had—and still did—found both endearing and annoying.
“This is a sex exhibit,” Sylvia said, her feelings for Tina today leaning toward the annoying side of the equation. “And this,” she added, pointing to the ivory object in front of her, is a dildo.” She said the last in a hushed voice, her cheeks burning.
“It certainly is,” Tina said, her tone almost reverential.
“Are you insane? It’s the size of a…of a…of an I don’t know what!”
“They say Catherine the Great did it with a horse,” Tina said.
Sylvia put her hands over her ears. “I don’t even want to hear about it.” She walked away, Tina following.
“See, that’s your problem,” Tina said, as they moved into the next room, this one apparently devoted to electronic enhancement of the sexual experience. The Sex Through The Ages exhibit was touring the country, and this week it was in Los Angeles, on display at the Greene Mansion in Beverly Hills.
By happy coincidence, Tina and Sylvia were both in town and could visit the exhibit and the house. They’d lived in Southern California during their undergrad years, but for graduate school, they’d left the sunny beaches for the lure of a Stanford law degree. Sylvia had graduated in the top one percent of her class, with Tina not far behind in the twenty-fifth percentile. The nature of their friendship had shifted when Tina had moved to LasVegas to take a job with the district attorney’s office. Sylvia had stayed in San Francisco, snagging a very coveted position with one of the major law firms in the country.
