Out of the Dark                                      Press Kit

Blinded—she by nature, he by loyalty
As a blind woman seen as a flawed commodity, Lady Lynett is used to the idea that she's unlovable. But her parents' plan to force her into a loveless marriage is too much. Wandering, upset and lost in the cellars of the King's castle, the darkness doesn't frighten her, but the murder plot she overhears chills her to the bone. Worse, no one believes her, and the only one she can turn to is a Norman sheriff whose voice sounds disturbingly like one of the conspirators.

Basil, Sheriff of Ipswitch, is battle-hardened, fiercely loyal—and torn apart. He's falling in love with the Saxon beauty, and he longs to show her she is worthy of love despite her physical limitation.

But the very corruption she is helping him root out may implicate his own half brother. How can he turn his back on family—for an Anglo-Saxon woman?

Matilda's Song

Duty requires sacrifice…but the heart will not be denied
At the time, pretending marriage to her middle-aged widower cousin seemed like the best way to escape a politically motivated betrothal to a brutal knight. Now, her journey toward a new life has landed her in hot water—she's been waylaid by a local Norman baron who's mistaken her for a real bride. And he demands First Night rights.

Hot water turns to steam in a scalding night of passion…passion she has never known. And now must live without.

Lord Geoffrey is entranced at first sight of the Anglo-Saxon beauty, and finds that one night in her arms is not nearly enough. But all he can offer the low-born Matilda is a life in the shadows—as his mistress.

Her head warring with her heart, Matilda resigns herself to her duty in a masquerade of a marriage. It's a choice that could cost her life.

For the knight who first sought her hand is back with murder on his mind. Now it's Geoff who's faced with the ultimate choice: which is more precious…his estates or the love of the one woman who can heal his soul?

Buffalo: The Farmer and the Wood Nymph
The Farmer and the Wood Nymph is set in Buffalo, Wyoming, in 1895. While riding with a posse, Ernest Noland stumbles across a woman with amnesia wandering alone, half starved, in the wilds of Wyoming's high plains. His most cherished belief is that fate offers only one true love. He's sure this petite, articulate, vivacious woman is that one. The fly in the ointment is that the enchantress wears a wedding ring.

Lilah may not remember anything except her first name, but, intuitively, she is positive some man somewhere loves her to distraction. While she believes this soul mate must be the man who gave her the wedding band, perversely, she finds herself drawn to the mild-mannered, blond Viking of a farmer who rescued her. Aware they ignite sparks in each other, Lilah fears these sparks are like playing with fire.

Can two lovers entangled by the Law of Opposite Attraction learn to respect each other's differences? Will the golden band attract the soul mate each one seeks?
