The Marine Meets His Match. Cathie LinzЧитать онлайн книгу.
“Does the ring fit?”
Rad slid it over her finger and the feel of his hand holding hers, the way he bent his head to watch what he was doing, all seemed like images from a real engagement, from a man presenting the woman he loved with a token of his intentions to spend the rest of his life with her.
Serena swallowed the sudden lump in her throat.
The ring fit.
Perfectly.
Her eyes met his. The intensity she saw there caught her by surprise.
Then he smiled and said, “Mission accomplished.”
If his mission had been to invade her heart, it looked like he was succeeding.

From a Texas sweetheart to a Chicago advice columnist, our heroines will sweep you along on their journeys to happily ever after. Don’t miss the tender excitement of Silhouette Romance’s modern-day fairy tales!
In Carolina’s Gone A’Courting (SR #1734), Carolina Brubaker is on a crash course with destiny—and the man of her dreams—if she can survive their summer of forced togetherness! Will she lasso the heart of her ambitious rancher? Find out in the next story in Carolyn Zane’s THE BRUBAKER BRIDES miniseries.
To this once-burned plain Jane a worldly, sophisticated, handsome lawyer is not the kind of man she wants…but her heart has other plans. Be there for the transformation of this no-nonsense woman into the beauty she was meant to be, in My Fair Maggy (SR #1735) by Sharon De Vita.
Catch the next installment of Cathie Linz’s miniseries MEN OF HONOR, The Marine Meets His Match (SR #1736). His favorite independent lady has agreed to play fiancée for this military man who can’t resist telling her what to do. If only he could order her to really fall in love….
