The Texan's Tiny Dilemma. Judy Christenberry

      Jim felt the babies move.

      He splayed his hand on Teresa’s stomach, amazed that she could sleep so soundly while the babies wriggled and kicked. Amazed that these movements were made by his children.

      He lay next to her on the bed, on top of the covers, his hand still covering her belly. He told himself he just wanted to understand how a husband would feel. How would it feel to hold the future in his hands?

      Would Teresa understand if she awoke? Could he convince her he was sharing a moment with the babies?

      A moment with the babies? asked that annoying voice inside his head. Or a moment with the babies’ mother?

      Jim scoffed at the suggestion. He was getting married to give his babies a name. That was the only reason.

      Wasn’t it?

      Dear Reader,

      To me, September is the cruelest month. One minute it feels like just another glorious summer day. And then almost overnight the days become shorter and life just hits. It’s no different for this month’s heroes and heroines. Because they all get their own very special “September moment” when they discover a secret that will change their lives forever!

      Judy Christenberry once again heads up this month with The Texan’s Tiny Dilemma (#1782)—the next installment in her LONE STAR BRIDES miniseries. A handsome accountant must suddenly figure out how to factor love into the equation when a one-night stand results in twins. Seth Bryant gets his wake-up call when a very pregnant princess shows up on his doorstep in Prince Baby (#1783), which continues Susan Meier’s BRYANT BABY BONANZA. Jill Limber assures us that The Sheriff Wins a Wife (#1784) in the continuing BLOSSOM COUNTY FAIR continuity, but how will this lawman react to the news that he’s still married to a woman who left town eight years ago! Holly Jacobs rounds out the month with her next PERRY SQUARE: THE ROYAL INVASION! title. In Once Upon a King (#1785), baby seems to come before love and marriage for a future king.

      And be sure to watch for more great romances next month when bestselling author Myrna Mackenzie launches our new SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE miniseries.

      Happy reading,
