In a bold move, she breaks off her betrothal to Lord Philip and flees her home in Northumberland, vowing to marry the first man she meets, never considering the consequences of such a show of independence. Robert Douglas has been dealt an equally dark hand by fate: the proud Scot must take an English bride or lose his ancestral home and noble name. It seems an impossible situation, until destiny puts him in the path of a strong-minded English lass with a will to survive that equals his own. Marriage is an ideal salvation for both. Meleri will be safe from her vengeful fiance in Beloyn Castle with the Douglas clan, and Robert will be able to keep all he holds dear. But neither has bargained on a heartless man who will go to any lengths to seek revenge, the tenacity of a stubborn ghost and the most powerful force of all: love.

MIDNIGHT BLUE 5/2005 ISBN: 0843957093 It began with the capture of a merchantman. Privateer Captain Christopher MacLeod had won many ships in the war for American independence, but never before so great a prize. Below decks of the Beatrice was a woman of exceptional beauty, a woman who'd put up more fight than the crew. No matter if their kiss had set him aflame, Chris knew she felt nothing but hatred for him. There was only peril in her dark-lashed gaze, a peril colored...Midnight Blue...was the hue of his eyes. His long sable hair was thick and begged to be touched. But the fact that the pirate was a handsome bastard made little impression on Sarah Godwin Hadley. He was clearly a man of great strength—she remembered the feel of his hard-muscled body as he'd carried her off. And though his well-appointed cabin smelled of lemony polish, it was still a prison cell. Christopher MacLeod was still a jailor and, if her heart spoke true, the danger she faced had just begun.
