“She’s gotten to you, hasn’t she, Nick?”
Dominic Chakiris glanced at Craig Bonner, his friend and vice president of his extensive corporate holdings.
“The only reason I had Kelly MacLeod investigated was to find out why some woman I’ve never met had the gall to paint a portrait of me and publicly display it.”
“I understand there’s a waiting list for the privilege of having her do a portrait.” Craig grinned. “You should be flattered.”
“The portrait is far from flattering. It portrays me as hard and ruthless, a predator ready to pounce on unsuspecting prey.”
“Actually, it looks just like you.”
Nick shook his head as Craig strolled out of the office. On impulse, he called the unlisted number his investigator had included in Kelly MacLeod’s file. He waited through several rings before a sultry voice asked the caller to leave a message.
“This is Dominic Chakiris,” he said after the beep. “I believe it’s time we met.”
Dear Reader,
It’s that time of year again…for decking the halls, trimming the tree…and sitting by the crackling fire with a good book. And we at Silhouette have just the one to start you off—Joan Elliott Pickart’s The Marrying MacAllister, the next offering in her series, THE BABY BET: MACALLISTER’S GIFTS. When a prospective single mother out to adopt one baby finds herself unable to choose between two orphaned sisters, she is distressed, until the perfect solution appears: marry handsome fellow traveler and renowned single guy Matt MacAllister! Your heart will melt along with his resolve.
MONTANA MAVERICKS: THE KINGSLEYS concludes with Sweet Talk by Jackie Merritt. When the beloved town veterinarian—and trauma survivor—is captivated by the town’s fire chief, she tries to suppress her feelings. But the rugged hero is determined to make her his. Reader favorite Annette Broadrick continues her SECRET SISTERS series with Too Tough To Tame. A woman out to avenge the harm done to her family paints a portrait of her nemesis—which only serves to bring the two of them together. In His Defender, Stella Bagwell offers another MEN OF THE WEST book, in which a lawyer hired to defend a ranch owner winds up under his roof…and falling for her newest client! In Make-Believe Mistletoe by Gina Wilkins, a single female professor who has wished for an eligible bachelor for Christmas hardly thinks the grumpy but handsome man who’s reluctantly offered her shelter from a storm is the answer to her prayers—at least not at first. And speaking of Christmas wishes—five-year-old twin boys have made theirs—and it all revolves around a new daddy. The candidate they have in mind? The handsome town sheriff, in Daddy Patrol by Sharon DeVita.
As you can see, no matter what romantic read you have in mind this holiday season, we have the book for you. Happy holidays, happy reading—and come back next month, for six new wonderful offerings from Silhouette Special Edition!
Sincerely,
Gail Chasan

This book is dedicated to
Donna Hensley who—during computer crashes (and accompanying tears!) and helping me to find the parts that needed to be retyped—stayed calm, gentle and always on call to explain to me the mysteries of computers.
The truth is,
I really couldn’t have done this one without you! Your grateful cousin…

“S he’s really gotten to you, hasn’t she, Nick?”
Dominic Chakaris glanced over at Craig Bonner, his friend and the vice president of Nick’s extensive corporate holdings.
“Hell, no. The only reason I had her investigated was to find out why some woman I’ve never met had the gall to paint a portrait of me and publicly display it.” Nick resumed staring at the view from his office high above the canyons of New York City, his hands in the pockets of his custom-made suit.
“Uh-huh,” Craig replied.
Nick turned away from the view and walked to his desk. His cold gaze met Craig’s as both men sat, Craig in front of Nick’s massive desk, Nick sprawled in his chair. “What did our investigator find out?” Nick asked.
Craig had known Nick for more than ten years. He wasn’t intimidated by the hawklike stare of his esteemed leader. He was probably the only one in Manhattan who could say that and not be lying through his teeth.
Okay, so he should have known Nick would deny that the artist and her portrait of him had been like a thorn in his foot, one that had festered since he’d learned of the painting’s existence.
