Wizard's Daughter



Dear Reader:

When Ryder Sherbrooke finds a child nearly beaten death in an alley in Eastbourne, he takes her home ti Brandon House. She doesn't speak for six months. Her first words, oddly enough, are a haunting song:

I dream of beauty and sightless night
I dream of strength and fevered might
I dream I'm not alone again
But I know of his death and her grievous sin.

Ah, and just what does this strange song mean that was seemingly imprinted on the child's brain?

She names herself Rosalind de La Fontaine since she cannot remember who she is. In her first season in London in 1835, under the aegis of the Sherbrookes, she meets Nicholas Vail, the seventh Earl of Mountjoy, newly arrived from Macau. It is instant fascination on both their parts, but for different reasons.

With Grayson Sherbrooke, they are led to an ancient copy of a mysterious book written by a sixteenth-century wizard. The book is written in a baffling code that neither Grayson nor Nicholas can read.

But Rosalind can, easily.

Strange things start happening. Both Nicholas and Rosalind know it has to do with the old book and, perhaps, even her past, particularly the song she first sang as a child. The urgency builds as they realize Rosalind is the key to a centuries-old mystery.

Wild Star



He had stopped kissing her…leaving her parted lips trembling, waiting for more. Oh, how she wanted him

But Bvrony knew that Brent Hammond was the last man in the world she should want. This handsome San Francisco gambler was legendary for all the women he had had--and used only to slake his lust and nothing more. And Byrony was married--married to an older man she did not love, but whom she had vowed to honor and obey. Yet the moment Byrony felt Brent's mocking eyes upon her, mentally stripping away her clothes even as he taunted her propriety... the moment he held her in his arms, caressing her warm, velvety flesh. . . she knew she was his for the taking. And in the San Francisco boomtown where he ruled as king... and on a great southern plantation where she discovered the secrets of his dark past, the flaming intensity of her love welded her to him for better, for worse, forever ....

The Wild Baron


Dear Reader:

Rohan Carrington, Baron Mountvale, proud scion of a family renowned for its philandering and charm, is bewildered. He has received a letter stating that his late, younger brother, George, ruined a young lady. But how could this be possible? George was a scholar, a serious young man; without mincing words, he was a prude and a stick. whereas Rohan enjoys the reputation of being a womanizer. George had the reputation of cold porridge.

Enter the ruined young lady, Susannah, who claims she wasn't ruined. She claims she's a Carington, but George didn't leave her in fine fettle. She has a three-yer-old daughter, very little money, a younger brother, and a wastrel father. In short, she's not in very fine fettle. She and her daughter are also in danger. When Rohan and Susannah team up, they find themselves on the trail of a legendary treasure somehow connected to MacBeth, eleventh-century king of Scotland--a fantastic legacy of ancient good and evil.

There are also cats to be trained for the races, limericks to be sung to the horses, a murder to be solved, a vicar with more secrets than a wizard's wand, and a man and a woman who are linked by magic as old as time....

Warrior's Song



Dear Reader:

Chandra first appeared in 1984. I've rewritten it extensively and changed the title to Warrior's Song, as this book rightfully belongs in the Song series.

Chandra de Avenell might look like a golden princess, but she fights like a warrior, dreams a warrior's dreams, and wears a warrior's pride like a suit of armor. She wants to be strong, independent, and free. She has no use at all for a husband.

Enter the man her father has selected for her. Jerval de Vernon takes one look at Chandra, and he wants her. After he saves her from a very bad situation, he sets himself to wooing her - not an easy task.

How does a man convince a woman he coerces into marriage to become a wife? To give him her loyalty and her trust? Love is something he would like her to consider as well. But what if the wife has no intention of cooperating? Does he break her or finally give up on her?

Warrior's Song introduces Graelam de Moreton, a real bad boy, who has his mate thrust upon him in the second book of this series, Fire Song.

Do not let the covers fool you cause they are Unattractive, i know, but this author has unique style in writing
