by Janette Kenny, author of Innocent in the Italians Possession (Harlequin Presents, June 2010)
There’s a deliciously dangerous threat that pulses on the pages when the rebellious son comes home. This is the man whose views were way outside the box. The man who refused to conform. The one who snubbed his nose to tradition in [...]

by author Sandra Marton
It’s always sad when you lose a dear friend, and we Presents authors have lost just such a friend in Elizabeth Oldfield.
