Book Description

His family slaughtered in far-off China, young Jacob Cato finds sanctuary in a Xi Lin temple. There he heals and learns to be strong. Now, Jacob wishes to join his care-takers as a full member of the temple and is told he must first return to his homeland and make peace with his English inheritance. At Evelyn Stanton’s lavish wedding, the bald-headed Chinese monk striding down the center aisle is shocking. Watching that man dispatch three groomsmen, unarmed, then learning he is the long-lost heir to the Earldom of Warhaven and the new groom, is even more so. But Evelyn Stanton isn't the typical blushing bride. A fully realized woman, she isn't about to marry the very non-English Jacob Cato just because she was betrothed to him when she was six. At the sight of the very beautiful and very English Evelyn Stanton, Jacob's body burns with an unexpected passion as the past he thought forgotten takes new form. The murderer who slaughtered his family and left him for dead will pay. His lawful English heritage will be claimed and he will have the woman who is rightfully his.

Book Description

Long ago Los Angeles became Crimson City, a glittering home and sometimes battleground for humans, werewolves, and vampires. But the veil between Crimson City and the Demon World has been torn, and the demons want Earth for their own. There exist few who can oppose the Dark Ones: Patrick, the Druid's Draig-Uisge, is one. Able to shape energy to harm or heal, Patrick must first have something to bend, and such power can come from only one source: Xiao Fei, the Phoenix Tear. Xiao's blood is the key, coupled with her ecstasy. Her union with Patrick is Earth's salvation. As foes rise from every shadow, and peril infuses every caress, redemption and oblivion lay with one woman being SEDUCED BY CRIMSON.

Book Description

"...comparable to notable Regency author Marian Devon." ~Romantic Times BookClub Reviews If a lady is to become a Countess, there are rules... #1: A lady does not attempt to come out in London society disguised as her deceased half-sister. #2: A lady does not become enamored of her guardian; even when his masterful kisses and whispered words of affection tempt her beyond all endurance. #3: A lady may not climb barefoot from her bedroom onto a rose trellis, nor engage in fisticuffs with riffraff even if it is to rescue street urchins. #4: No matter how impossible the odds, a lady always gives her hand and her heart—though not necessarily in that order—to the one man who sees her as she truly is and loves her despite her flagrant disobedience of the rules for a lady.

Book Description

The London rookeries are slums, rife with criminals, and shunned by the upper crust. But someone there intends to murder one of England's greatest leaders, and Marcus Kane, Lord Chadwick, will follow every clue, even into the bowels of London's underground. But he can't find his way alone. A partner is required. Fantine (Fanny) Delarive is perfect. She knows the slums better any, has survived its labyrinth alone for years, and knows every criminal lurking in every dark corner. Then, the investigation detours the pair into the bright ballrooms of the ton. And Fantine fits in here, too. Which changes everything. Lord Chadwick knows a woman of Fantine's ilk is entirely unsuitable for him. But she's infinitely more exciting than any well-born lady he's ever met. Now much more than an acquaintance with the independent, self-reliant Fantine is required... and it must end with nothing less than marriage.

Book Description

In the last ten years, Carolly Hanson has died six times. First in a car crash, then of TB. Beaten, stoned, and shot in the back. The last time, she suffocated from pneumonia. Now she's awake, again, and in the arms of James Oscar Henry Northram, Earl of Traynern. Carolly Hanson must be in training to be an angel. Why else would she keep dying and reappearing in different places and times? Clearly she is to help people, help them find true love, if she is to win her wings. And the handsome Earl, clearly a stiff-backed, dark-brooding man of means, will be her next victim—er, beneficiary. James Oscar Henry Northram is fascinated by Carolly's odd sense of humor, and compelled by her strange forthright manner and complete lack of interest in trapping him into marriage. He also thinks poor Carolly is a Bedlam escapee and isn't the least bit interested in the women she keeps pushing in his direction. Why must Carolly be forced to suffer death only to live again? Could the answer be as close as his embrace?

Their families have been bitter rivals for hundreds of years, but even if her feelings once crossed the line between love and hate, she’s certain Gryff never felt the same.
