Rogue, Book 1 With the death of her elderly husband, the Marquess Newburn, Jillian Alton is relieved that she will never have to endure another forced marriage. Until his long-lost son reappears to claim his title and holdings. Left penniless, Jillian reluctantly accepts a tidy sum from the Prince of Wales to “refine” a Scottish Highlander who has inherited an English title—a man who shakes her resolve to never again let a man close enough to snare her in unwanted wedlock. Ian MacLeod never planned to set foot in England, but the breakup of the clan system has left him in need of claiming the profits of his inherited English lands to support his people. When he meets the very proper Lady Newburn, he is intrigued…and determined to melt her icy heart. It shouldn’t be much of a challenge. After all, he’s never met a lass who didn’t quite willingly succumb to him. But he quickly learns that the beautiful, auburn-haired Jillian is no mooning maiden. And there’s something about her stepson that raises the hair on the back of his neck—a clear signal of danger that has never proved him wrong… Product Warnings This book contains a sexy Highlander who will make the most proper of ladies have very improper thoughts. less

And as his resolve weakens, an old enemy takes advantage of his distraction to destroy him—and expose a Templar secret Shane may have to sacrifice his life to keep. Warning: This title contains sexually explicit scenes and a stubborn young lady determined to get her Highlander. less

One moment Fiona MacLeod is attending a London ball, and the next she’s kidnapped and placed in the Dublin Lunatic Asylum by Wesley Alton, a madman who wants revenge on her family. Her one bit of good fortune is that with the women’s ward at the asylum overflowing, she’s assigned a room in a nearby castle. But the more she tries to deny Alton’s cleverly concocted facts, the crazier she sounds to her keeper, the handsome Earl Kier O’Reilly. With his family fortune dwindling, Kier pays his taxes by hosting non-violent asylum inmates in his ancestral castle. He’s immediately attracted to Fiona’s grey-eyed ethereal beauty, but he sternly reminds himself she’s his ward. No matter what his heart whispers and his body screams, he cannot take advantage of a woman who is clinging to the last of her wits. Meanwhile, the MacLeod brothers are hunting for their sister, and woe betide whoever stands in their way. Warning: A beautiful Scottish lass trapped in a nightmare, an Irish earl with a revolutionary secret whose resistance is weakening, an allegedly haunted castle tower, and three braw Highland brothers who refuse to give up hope. less

The first time Shauna MacLeod met American ship captain Robert Henderson, instant attraction brightened up an otherwise dreary Edinburgh winter. But his life was at sea. Now Robert’s back, a welcome distraction from her daily duties at the MacLeod dock office. Tricked into a betrothal before he left New Orleans by a woman who then mysteriously disappeared, Robert knows he needs to keep his distance from Shauna, no matter how tempting the rising sexual tension between them. Between Robert’s past and Shauna’s overprotective family, there’s little opportunity to touch, let alone act on their desires. But when an old enemy of the McLeods in disguise worms his way into Shauna’s good graces, she is abducted and thrown aboard a ship bound for the Barbary slave trade. Robert, along with Shauna’s brothers, race the four winds to find Shauna before she disappears into some sultan’s harem and is lost to him forever. Warning: Contains a bold American sea captain, and a spirited Scottish lass who’d like to swash his buckle—if only her suspicious brothers would leave her be. Best enjoyed with a tankard of ale and a sea chanty or two. less
