Sometimes doing the right thing isnât what you might imagine in this fan-favorite story from New York Times bestselling author Sherryl Woods
Half virginal innocence, half saucy temptress, willful Lizzy Adams had long since stolen rancher Hank Robbinsâs heart. And then one night, passion overcame common sense and left them both with a little more than just wonderful memoriesâand the determination to âdo the right thing.â
For Lizzy, that meant not roping the rugged rancher into marriage. And for Hank, well...what would it take to make the beloved mother-to-be his wife?
Hank knew the precise instant Lizzy came back to town.
He could feel her presence. The air seemed to crackle with electricity. And that old familiar ache in the region of his heart started up again.
Still, call it masculine ego or sheer muleheadedness, Hank wanted Lizzy to come to him.
Oh, he knew, sure as shooting, that sheâd been avoiding him all these years. Heâd seen her blush after sheâd kissed him on the eve of her departure. Heâd also seen her quick rise of anger and pride when he hadnât tried to stop her from leaving.
Little did she know what letting her go had cost him....
Hank knewâhad always knownâthat he wanted more from Lizzy than a brief, passionate fling. And for that, she had to come to him. In her own time. On her own terms.
During this holiday season, donât forget to treat yourself special, too. And taking the time to enjoy Novemberâs Special Edition lineup is the perfect place to start!
Veteran author Lisa Jackson continues her FOREVER FAMILY miniseries with A Family Kind of Gal. All THAT SPECIAL WOMAN! Tiffany Santini wants is a life of harmony away from her domineering in-laws. But thereâs no avoiding her sinfully sexy brother-in-law when he lavishes herâand her kidsâwith attention. Look for the third installment of this engaging series in January 1999.
And thereâs more continuing drama on the way! First, revisit the Adams family with The Cowgirl & The Unexpected Wedding when Sherryl Woods delivers book four in the popular AND BABY MAKES THREE: THE NEXT GENERATION series. Next, the PRESCRIPTION: MARRIAGE medical series returns with Prince Charming, M.D. by Susan Mallery. Just about every nurse at Honeygrove Memorial Hospital has been swooning over one debonair docâexcept the R.N. who recalls her old flameâs track record for breaking hearts! Then the MEN OF THE DOUBLE-C RANCH had better look out when a sassy redhead gets under a certain ornery cowboyâs skin in The Rancher and the Redhead by Allison Leigh.
Rounding off this month, Janis Reams Hudson shares a lighthearted tale about a shy accountant who discovers a sexy stranger sleeping on her sofa in Until You. And in A Mother for Jeffrey by Trisha Alexander, a heroine realizes her lifelong dream of having a family.

Lizzy gazed at the grades posted for her anatomy exam and sighed. A lousy C. In all of her twenty-four years, sheâd never gotten below a B on any test. Studying was second nature to her, cramming for exams as natural as breathing. Sheâd known the material inside out, but on the day of the test her mind had been somewhere else, not on bones and body parts.
Nothing, nothing about the past weeks of her first year in medical school had gone right. The classes had been the most challenging and fascinating she had ever taken, but sheâd faltered more than once on exams she should have aced, like this one. It was a lack of concentration, pure and simple, and she knew why.
Her roommate regarded her with a sympathetic expression. âItâs only because youâve been worried about your dad,â Kelsey said. âYouâll do better once youâve seen for yourself that heâs doing okay.â
That was part of it, Lizzy agreed. When she should have been memorizing anatomical details, instead her thoughts had been straying to her father.
