“The women he killed. I see them in my dreams.”
Her eyes were shiny with emotion and he knew it was for him. She placed a
hand on his arm, her fingers warm through the thin fabric of his cotton shirt. He
welcomed her warmth, wanted to pull her against him and lose himself in her
heat.
“Jacob, you have to play his game again. You have to forget about those
other women and focus on the ones who are hopefully still alive.”
The words pierced through the veil of denial he’d tried to erect and for a
moment he felt too weak to stand.
Layla stepped forward and wrapped her arms around his shoulders. He
grabbed on to her as if she were an anchor in a storm-tossed sea.
He felt her heartbeat racing as fast as his own and remembered that she was
a part of this, that she had nearly been The Professional’s victim.
“I’m going to play,” he said, knowing he really had no other choice. “I’m
going to play his game and hope that this time I find them in time.”

Dear Reader,
I have a little secret. I love dark, tortured heroes. Men with shadowed eyes
intrigue me. I want to peel back the layers and discover the source of that
darkness. If life has given them a little bit of attitude that’s fine with me, too.
Tortured heroes seem to demand more, expect more from the women in
their lives. They don’t just want a lover, they want a life companion, a woman
worthy of them, a woman who can also provide a soft place for them to fall.
And when they fall in love, they fall hard and transform into the heroes we
all dream about in our own lives.
I love reading about tortured heroes and I love writing them. Jacob Grayson
is just such a man, tormented by his past and needing a special woman to chase
away the darkness. I hope you enjoy reading his story!
Happy reading,
Carla Cassidy

Dear Reader,
Yes, it’s true. We’re changing our name! After over twenty-five years of
being part of Harlequin Enterprises, Silhouette Books will officially seal the
merger by taking the company’s name.
So if you notice a few changes on the covers starting April 2011—
Silhouette Special Edition becoming Harlequin Special Edition, Silhouette
Desire becoming Harlequin Desire and Silhouette Romantic Suspense becoming
Harlequin Romantic Suspense—don’t be concerned.
We’ll continue to have the same fantastic authors, wonderful stories, eye-
catching covers and emotional, compelling reads. We’re just going to be moving
under the overall company name, which will make us even easier for you to see
in the stores, on the internet, and wherever you usually find us!
So look for the new logo, but remember, beneath the image will be the same
promise of romantic stories of love, passion, adventure, family and a whole lot
more. Just the way you like them!
Sincerely,
The Editors at Harlequin Books
