Princess of France

After becoming the lover of King Henry II, Princess Alais’s bid for the throne fails. As Richard the Lionheart, King Henry’s son, will not honor their engagement, Alais is sent away to a nunnery to live out the remaining years of her life.

Imprisoned at the hands of her enemies, Princess Alais of France finds a way to escape and returns to her home in Paris. But the life of a princess is a dangerous one, and the road home beset with peril. Once she manages to return to Paris, she finds that her brother, King Philippe-Auguste, has arranged a marriage for her to shore up his political power.

Condemned to yet another prison – this time a passionless marriage – Alais discovers her own path to freedom within the confines of her duty. As she begins to build a new life for herself, will she be able to find the love and joy she has always longed for?

He’s the terror of the ton…

The plan is simple:

1. Descend from the Highlands to face the aggravation of a London Season;
2. Foist his wild sister off on some gullible English lord;
3. Retreat before the ladies of the scandalized ton can get any ideas.

Determined to see his hellion of a sister wed, Highlander Alexander Waters is willing to face anything-even the English. He just didn’t expect his own rough manners to cause such a riot…or for a blooming English rose to catch his eye.

Gently bred Catherine Middlebrook must find a respectable man to marry or her family will be ruined. She won’t allow herself to be distracted by Highland barbarians…no matter how her body may thrill whenever Alex is near.

Catherine wasn’t part of the plan, but as their battle of wills escalates, Alex comes to realize this “proper” English girl is as wild as the Highlands themselves…and nothing will stop him from having her.

Expect the unexpected.

Baron Arthur Farleigh needs a wife. Unfortunately, his elopement to Gretna Green was rudely interrupted when his intended eloped with someone else. He stops to drown his sorrows at a nearby inn, never expecting to meet his long-lost love.

Serena Davenport is on the run. Her father is dead, and she must deliver his last great archaeological discovery to the dons at Oxford. Pursued by a nefarious Frenchman, she needs protection for the priceless artifact in her reticule – and her life.

Arthur agrees to help, but his motives are not completely pure. Time has not killed his love for Serena, and seeing her again brings all his long-dead passion back to life.

Serena is relieved to take shelter with her old friend Arthur. But she had forgotten the deep blue of his eyes, the breadth of his shoulders, and the fact that without his shirt, Arthur Farleigh looks like a young Apollo.

When Arthur takes her home for the night to meet his mother, Serena wonders how a woman might slip past an honorable man’s defenses, and find a way to bed a baron…

He’s the scourge of the Season…

Reasons to quit London:

1. It’s not the Highlands.
2. It will never be the Highlands.
3. It’s full of the bloody English.

When his wild spitfire of a sister makes a scene by drawing a claymore in Hyde Park, Highlander Robert Waters knows something must be done. To forestall the inevitable scandal, he hires widowed Prudence Whittaker to teach his sister how to be a lady-never expecting to find unbridled passion beneath the clever Englishwoman’s prim exterior.

Mrs. Whittaker is a fraud. Born Lady Prudence Farthington, daughter of the ruined earl of Lynwood, she’s never even been married. In order to make her way in the world, she has to rely on her wits and a web of lies…lies a sexy Highlander is all too close to unraveling.

He swears he will possess her; she vows he will do nothing of the sort. Yet as passions heat, Prudence comes to realize the illicit pleasure that can be had in going toe-to-toe with a Scot.

A foolproof plan to avoid marriage:

1. Always carry at least three blades.
2. Ride circles around any man.
3. Never get caught in a handsome duke’s arms.

Wild Highlander Mary Elizabeth Waters is living on borrowed time. She’s managed to dodge the marriage banns up to now, but even Englishmen can only be put off for so long…and there’s one in particular who has her in his sights.

Harold Percy, Duke of Northumberland, is enchanted by the beautiful hellion who outrides every man on his estate and dances Scottish reels while the ton looks on in horror. The more he sees Mary, the more he knows he has to have her, tradition and good sense be damned.

But what’s a powerful man to do when the Highland spitfire of his dreams has no desire to be tamed?

What price will Eleanor pay to be queen?

A duchess at fifteen, Eleanor of Aquitaine marries the King of France. But will she find the price too high to be queen?

Louis VII is enamored of his bride, but the newly crowned king is easily manipulated by forces in the Church. Trapped in a loveless marriage, Eleanor fights for her freedom and for the love of her life.

In the arms of Henry of Normandy, can Eleanor find the passion she longs for, and the means to fulfill her legacy as Queen?

A novel of the legendary Eleanor of Aquitaine and the one person she loved more than power: her rival for the throne.

At only nine, Princess Alais of France is sent to live in England until she is of age to wed Prince Richard, son of King Henry II and Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine. Alais is an innocent pawn on the chessboard of dynastic marriage, her betrothal intended to broker an uneasy truce between the nations. 

Estranged from her husband, Eleanor sees a kindred spirit in this determined young girl. She embraces Alais as a daughter, teaching the princess what it takes to be a woman of power in a world of men.

But as Alais grows to maturity and develops ambitions of her own, Eleanor begins to see her as a threat-and their love for each other becomes overshadowed by their bitter rivalry, dark betrayals, conflicting passions, and a battle for revenge over the throne of England itself.
