AMARANTHA 8/2001 ISBN: 0843949007 'Tis not Robert Burns's legendary elfin knight who greets Amarantha upon her arrival at her folklorist uncle's Cornish mansion, but the dark and wild-haired Tamlane Adair. The Scotsman's languorous movements enthrall her, and the rumors of his nighttime rides across Bodmin Moor only heighten the virile man's mystery. His voice is like satin or silk, sliding over her, clothing her in blissful delirium. Listening, she can almost forget the Jacobite rebellion that has cost her so much. In Tamlane's green eyes, Amarantha cannot help but see the danger of the Cornish coast . . . and in his arms, its wonderful promise.
BELLE 3/2002 ISBN:0843949759 La Belle Du Jour... With the letter breaking his engagement, Stephan Kirton's hopes for respectability -- and his chance at happiness -- went up in smoke. He supposed it was inevitable; his travels abroad, his "interaction with the lower classes", had put him beyond the scope of polite society. Oh, those and the fact that he was a bastard. He could still find consolation, though. Ormstead Park was a place for dancing and flirting, for drinking and gambling-- and those came before less innocent sports. It was a place where he could find a woman for the night. Instead, she found him... He didn't recognize her at first; real ladies didn't come to Lord Duncan's masked balls, and this young beauty -- as he recalled from his youth -- was just that. Her descent into this netherworld had brought her within reach, yet this was no girl of the day. Annabelle Winston was sublime. And if he had to trick her, bribe her, dare her, or get her drunk... if he had to protect her, server her, save her, whatever -- one way or another he would make an honest woman out of her. And she would make a happy man out of him.
IONA 10/1999 ISBN: 0843946148. Hunted. Isolated by the icy storms of the North Atlantic, the isle of Iona was only a temporary haven for its mistress. Lona McLean, daughter of a rebel and traitor to the crown, knew that it was only a matter of time before the bloody Sassenachs came for her. But she had a stout Scottish heart, and the fiery beauty had given up dreams of happiness years before. One task remained - to protect her people. Haunted. But the man who landed upon Iona's rain-swept shores was not an Englishman. The handsome intruder was a Scot, and a crafty one at that. His clever words left her tossing and turning in her bed long into the night. His kiss promised an end to the ghosts that had plagued both her people and her heart. And in his powerful embrace, Lona found an ecstasy she'd long ago forsworn.
MANON 7/2000 ISBN: 0843947373. Alone and barely ahead of the storm, Manon flees Scotland; the insurrection has failed and Bonnie Prince Charlie's rebellion has been thrown down. Innocent of treason, yet sought by agents of the English king, the Scots beauty dons the guise of a man and rides to London-and into the hands of the sexiest Sassanach she's ever seen. But she has no time to dally, especially not with an English baronet. Nor can she indulge fantasies of his strong male arms about her or his heated lips pressed against her own. She fears that despite her precautions, this rake may uncover her as no man but Manon, and she may learn of something more dangerous than an Englishman's sword-his heart.
