âItâs late. Past midnight. Why donât you come to bed?â Taryn said. Let me take care of you.
Chance didnât say anything, but kept staring out the window at the river. Red Thunder looked innocent enough tonight. Romantic even, with the moonlight dancing on its surface.
âThe river has stolen a lot from you, hasnât it? Twice now, itâs taken your memory.â
He started to turn from her, but she hung on to him. âI wonât let it take anything more from you.â
Tentatively she pressed a kiss against his neck, felt the answering leap of his pulse against her lips.
Chance growled, âNo.â But there was no strength to his denial.
She could reach him on this primal level. She knew she could. âLet me love you, Chance.â
âNo,â he said, then leaned forward and kissed herâ¦.
Dear Harlequin Intrigue Reader,
Harlequin Intrigue has four new stories to blast you out of the winter doldrums. Look what weâve got heating up for you this month.
Sylvie Kurtz brings you the first in her two-book miniseries FLESH AND BLOOD. Fifteen years ago, a burst of anger by the banks of the raging Red Thunder River changed the lives of two brothers forever. In Remembering Red Thunder, Sheriff Chance Conover struggles to regain the memory of his life, his wife and their unborn baby before a man out for revenge silences him permanently.
You can also look for the second book in the four-book continuity series MORIAHâS LANDINGâHowling in the Darkness by B.J. Daniels. Jonah Ries has always sensed something was wrong in Moriahâs Landing, but when he accidentally crashes Kat Ridgemontâs online blind date, he realizes the tough yet fragile beauty has more to fear than even the townâs superstitions.
In Operation: Reunited by Linda O. Johnston, Alexa Kenner is on the verge of marriage when she meets John OâRourke, a man who eerily resembles her dead lover, Cole Rappaport, who died in a terrible explosion. Could they be one and the same?
And finally this month, one by one government witnesses who put away a mob associate have been killed, with only Tara Ford remaining. U.S. Deputy Marshal Brad Harrison vows to protect Tara by placing her In His Safekeepingâby Shawna Delacorte.
We hope you enjoy these books, and remember to come back next month for more selections from MORIAHâS LANDING and FLESH AND BLOOD!
Sincerely,
Denise OâSullivan

For ChuckâFor your enduring love
A Special Thanks to:
Sandy Emerson for answering my bail questions. Jerry FletcherâChrisâs Class A mechanic dadâ for scenario #2. It fit the bill perfectly! Any errors in procedure are the authorâs.
Flying an eight-hour solo cross-country in a Piper Arrow with only the airplaneâs crackling radio and a large bag of M&Mâs for company, Sylvie Kurtz realized a pilotâs life wasnât for her. The stories zooming in and out of her mind proved more entertaining than the flight itself. Not a quitter, she finished her pilotâs course and earned her commercial license and instrument rating.
Since then, she has traded in her wings for a computer keyboard, where she lets her imagination soar to create fictional adventures that explore the power of love and the thrill of suspense. When not writing, she enjoys the outdoors with her husband and two children, in addition to quilt making, photography and reading whatever catches her interest.
