Dear Reader,

At this festive time of year, we’d like to send you our very best wishes for the holiday season and the New Year. Between the parties and the presents, I hope you can steal away some time for yourself and enjoy some special treats from Harlequin Duets.

In Harlequin Duets #15 we have two delightful Christmas tales; from award-winning Lori Copeland comes Fruitcakes and Other Leftovers, and from the equally talented Kimberly Raye comes Christmas, Texas Style. The true meaning of family—its responsibilities and joys—is the theme of both stories. Pour yourself a glass of eggnog, nibble on a ginger cookie and dive into these wonderful romances.

Duets #16 celebrates the New Year with a bachelor and baby in Bringing Up Baby New Year by Vicki Lewis Thompson. Vicki’s books are always treasured by readers, and this sparkling comedy will entertain you and warm your heart. Then Tracy South mixes business with pleasure in Frisky Business, a hilarious office romance. You’ll never look at your co-workers in the same manner!

Happy holidays. I hope you find a lot of romance novels in your Christmas stocking!
