      “What will it take to make you forget me?”

      “You’re not a woman a man can easily forget,” Dan said.

      From the first time she’d met Dan again, she’d known she had to make a choice. A choice between the man whom, against all reason, she seemed to have fallen in love with, and the respectful life she’d made for herself.

      She had to force herself to speak. “You must forget you ever met me.”

      She glanced at the desk—and realized the photo of her and her daughter was missing! She glanced wildly around the room.

      “I assume you’re looking for this.” Dan drew the missing photograph from his tuxedo jacket.

      Victoria stared at the photo and felt her world turn over.

      “It isn’t really me you’ve been afraid of all along,” Dan went on. “You’re afraid I’ll find out I’m your baby’s father.”

Victoria Chancellor premieres her new A ROYAL TWIST miniseries in which a runaway prince and his horse-wrangling look-alike switch places. Don’t miss The Prince’s Cowboy Double, the first book in this delightful duo. Finally, when a small Alaskan town desperately needs a doctor, there’s only one man who can do the job, in Under Alaskan Skies by Carol Grace.
