His Lordship's Desire

Twelfth-century Normandy–as a fierce battle for the crown erupts, a powerful knight and his innocent bride will discover their destinies are passionately entwined….Just weeks away from taking her holy vows, Nell de Bonvile learns of her elder sister's tragic death.

Lovely, naive and totally unprepared for life outside the convent or the ways of men, Nell bravely faces her uncertain future.Indifferent to marriage for anything other than political gain, Roger is prepared to wait until his innocent bride comes to him willingly. Yet as he watches Nell blossom from timid girl to courageous mistress of his keep, his desire for her grows all-consuming. But war gives no quarter to newfound passion, plunging them both into a battle that will pit father against son, invaders against loyalists, testing every whispered word, and each unspoken promise….

To The Castle

January 1813–the British army is preparing to cross the Pyrenees and advance against Napoleon's army. Only one thing stands in the way–funds. It will take two people masquerading as lovers to carry out a dangerous plan…Despite inheriting the traveling Cirque Equestre–France's proudest equestrian tradition–Gabrielle Rochon has no loyalty to the emperor who destroyed her family's way of life. Independent and headstrong, she pledges to help the British army, knowing her late father would have done the same. But her mission to smuggle gold across France within the cirque to the Duke of Wellington's headquarters in Spain is one the British won't let her do alone.Colonel Leo Branford–an arrogant, striking foreigner–is ordered to play the part of her husband so that he may escort the gold without arousing enemy suspicions.While Gabrielle is annoyed that she must publicly bow to his every whim, the danger of the mission binds them in a disturbingly intimate way. With French troops precariously close to uncovering their charade, it is imperative that neither of them forget their purpose…or themselves.
