The Captain's Bride by Sara Blayne


A ravishing beauty with an irresistible air of innocence, Lady Violet Rochelle has no end of worthy suitors—not one of whom interests her in the slightest. For though seemingly demure, she harbors a secret yearning for adventure…and for a lover who is anything but proper…

Captain Trevor Dane, lately of the King's navy, is a man known for his daring exploits and his victories in battle. But when, on a furtive mission of his own, he breaks into Violet's bedchamber and impudently avails himself of her kisses, he unleashes a passion that will soon seal both of their fates…

Shadowed by intrigue and unrelenting danger, the last thing Dane needs is to be saddled with a wife. Yet when Violet vows to marry him, not to save her own reputation, but to save his, Dane finds himself up against a most formidable--and disarming--opponent: a raven-haired temptress who will not be denied! And now, as rumors swirl amid the ton that Dane is the elusive agent Le Corbeau, Violet sets out to show the world that they have the wrong man…making her a target of his implacable enemies, and leaving Dane desperately searching for a way to keep his lady wife safe…and safely in his arms…

The Treasure Keeper by Shana Abe


With such novels as Queen of Dragons and The Dream Thief, Shana Abé has created a unique and vividly imagined world that exists side by side with our own—a realm populated by a race of supersensual men and women whose power to change shape permits them unlimited acts of pleasure…and ever-present danger. Now the survival of the drákon rests in the hands of a young woman with untried and unexpected powers—and the powerful Alpha male she must break every drákon law to save.

The drákon are at war, surrounded by an enemy they have every reason to fear. The sanf inimicus are no ordinary human beings but the most dangerous of hunters. They’ve sworn to exterminate the shape-shifters whose presence they now can detect, and they’ve already claimed a prize prisoner: Lord Rhys Langford.

It’s a blow the drákon clans feel from Darkfrith, England, all the way to the Carpathian Mountains of Transylvania. But it strikes no one harder than Zoe Cyprienne Lane. A mere seamstress’s daughter, Zoe isn’t even in the same league as Rhys. In fact, as an unwed male in the Alpha line, according to drákon custom, he owns her. So nothing could be more outrageous—or personally ruinous—than the mere notion that she might set out on her own to find her childhood friend...and first true love.

But the unexpected is exactly what Zoe intends to do. For years she’s been hiding two extraordinary Gifts that have set her apart from other drákon females: the power to become invisible and the power to feel others’ emotions. Now, guided by a link to Rhys—his presence and touch as electric as if he were beside her in the flesh—Zoe uses both Gifts to infiltrate the sanf inimicus. And for Rhys, whose time is running out, Zoe is his last lifeline to a world—and a love—he never thought he’d regain. Only together again, hunter and huntress, can they save the drákon from the traitor in their midst who would destroy them all.

The Secret Swan by Shana Abe


At fifteen Lady Amiranth St. Clare became the bride of Tristan Geraint. She thought all of her dreams had come true — until she learned on her wedding day that Tristan had married her only for her bloodline. A week later Tristan deserted her for the glories of battle. Heartbroken, Amiranth felt she'd been abandoned, not knowing that Tristan had become a prisoner of war — nor that he would one day return to the life he didn't know he wanted until it was taken away.

Eight long years pass before Tristan finally comes home. A beautiful woman greets him in the garden, claiming to be Amiranth's cousin. Yet somehow she seems hauntingly familiar, with an ethereal radiance that stirs him deep within his heart. Is she really his wife, grown into a lady of breathtaking beauty — or another woman who has awakened within him a passion he has never known? To discover the truth, Tristan must reveal the secrets of what happened those years he was away — and find the love that was closer than he ever imagined.…

A Fire in the Blood by Shirl Henke


MANHUNTER
When half-breed Jess Robbins rode into Cheyenne to chase down a gang of cattle thieves, he was sure of three things: The townsfolk would openly scorn him; the women would secretly want him; and the rustlers would definitely fear him. What he didn't count on was a flame-haired spitfire named Lissa Jacobson, who had her own manhunt in mind.
Dark, dangerous, and deadly with his Colt revolver, Jess was absolutely forbidden to the spoiled, pampered daughter of Cheyenne's richest rancher. But from the moment Lissa stumbled upon him in his bath, she decided she had to have the virile gunman. Pitting her innocence against his vast experience, Lissa knew she was playing with fire . . . but she never guessed that the raging inferno of desire would consume them both.
