Like the sun, Tanon's fire cannot be extinguished.By the king's order, Lady Tanon Risande has been promised to wed a fierce Welsh prince as a gesture of Norman goodwill. But the Prince Gareth ap Owain seems more like a pulsing beast ready to devour, and Tanon doubts she can obey her king and wed the untamed dragon prince. When he claims her hand in a tournament, beating dozens of men to win her, she knows he won't leave without his promised prize, and she can't help but fear bedding a barbarian. But like the sun, Tanon's fire cannot be extinguished. In it, she possesses the power to subdue a king, tame a dragon, and bring peace to the wild lands of Cymru.Gareth may be a prince, but his primal sensuality proves he's no courtly gentleman. But he's determined to show the woman he's loved since he was a boy that he saves his savagery for the battlefield, not the bedchamber. He'll use far more persuasive methods to draw his lady into his arms. But though Gareth is a prince, he can't offer Tanon the finery she's used to, nor can he be sure she will be safe in his untamed land of Cymru, where princes plot against princes and Marcher lords take more of their land each day.What he can guarantee her is a love unlike any she has ever known, and a life of intrigue, trust, and passion.Hearts of The ConquestBook 1 - The Passionate HeartBook 2 - The Unchained HeartBook 3 - The Promised HeartNOTE: This story was previously published under the title Lord of Seduction.

Norman lord Dante Risande never met a woman he couldn't seduce... until a lovely servant named Gianelle refuses his attention and his help when she's accused of murder. As the King's right hand, he can't sit idly by. It's his duty to investigate. But in order to save Gianelle, he must buy her, which makes him an enemy in her eyes. She's no easy woman to win over, which makes her even more alluring. The more time he spends with her, fighting, laughing, breathing the same wonderfully charged air -like being on the ocean when lightning strikes nearby, the more he begins to long for her to be his. He'll give her anything she asks, but he can't give her what she truly wants while her accusers are alive.A slave all her life, Gianelle Dejiat wants nothing to do with men. Especially the abusive kind. That's why she's caught trying to escape her lord's castle, and why she's accused of killing him when he's found dead in his bed. But the true danger is just beginning. The only thing worse than a mean-tempered master taking interest in her is a silver-eyed, velvet-tongued warrior like Lord Dante Risande. What Gia wants is her freedom, to disappear and live her own life, not to become another of Dante's conquests. But when he buys her and brings her home to Dover, will his castle high on the cliffs become a new prison or the place where she finally learns how to fly?And when her accuser shows up in her life again, this time to kill her, will she use her wings to fly away to live her own life? Or will she leap into the arms of the man who unchained her heart and set her free to keep her close?¿¿Hearts of The ConquestBook 1 - The Passionate HeartBook 2 - The Unchained HeartBook 3 - The Promised HeartNOTE: This story was previously published under the title Lord Of Temptation.

NYC Detective Michael Pendridge doesn't have to think about all he's lost since the day he put on the uniform eleven years ago. The ghosts are always there, fresh in his mind. This job has cost him his soul. It has taken everyone he's allowed himself to care about.
