Mystical Bliss Series
Once, ten years ago, they were
young lovers sharing sinful touches
and desperate ecstasy. But he was
bound to another. Since that fateful
time, Christine Sommers has grown
into a headstrong beauty, the kind of
woman who thinks nothing of daring
travels to the ends of the world. But
for all her achievements, Christine
has never found anyone who makes
her heart race the way Erik
Boughton did.
Since that fateful time, Erik
Boughton, the Duke of Sedgwick,
has become something of a beast,
at least according to the gossips of
the ton. They say he is cursed, that
any woman who shares his bed will
meet an untimely end. But when he
comes to Christine, desperate for
her help to preserve his family and
his title, she does not fear the devil
duke. Enthralled by his ravenous
desire, she would give him anything
he wished even her body ... and her
heart.
The face he shows to the world
is not the face she sees ...

~~Scotland has never been so hot!
The Dragon’s Captive
Raised as an orphan behind the walls of Hope Abbey, Rose
Lancaster’s sheltered upbringing never prepared her for a
man like Lord Roxburghe. The fabled “Black Dragon,”
Ruark Kerr hasn’t been seen in his Scottish homeland for
more than a decade—and now he has burst into Rose’s
protected world to take her hostage, intending to trade her
life for the life of his young brother. But Rose does not fear
this savage, powerful lord…and she guards a dangerous
secret.
Villainy called Ruark back to the borderlands, but now that
he’s claimed his “prize” his path is less certain. If he does
not turn her over to his enemy, a boy may die. Yet gentle,
lovely Rose soothes his vengeful spirit, and the longer she
remains by him, the hotter his passion for her burns.
