Lara, Domina of Terah, has mysteriously disappeared while visiting the New Outlands. The Dominus is frantic to find his beloved wife, but when no trace of her can be discovered, Magnus Hauk turns to two strong allies-Prince Kaliq of the Shadows and his mother-in-law, Ilona, the most powerful of the faerie queens. Who has stolen Lara? And why?

In the Dark Lands, Kol, the Twilight Lord, revels in his victory. The faerie woman Lara is now his possession, and her powers will soon help him to conquer first Hetar and then Terah.

La primera vez que enviudó, Rosamund Bolton tenía seis años. La segunda, no había cumplido los trece y aún era virgen. Comenzaba a desear no serlo, pero la idea de verse libre de marido por el período de luto de un año era muy seductora. Salvo durante tres años, había estado casada toda su vida.

Heredera de Friarsgate, una vasta extensión de tierras entre Inglaterra y Escocia, el destino la llevará de la custodia de un tío cruel hasta la magnífica corte de Isabel de York y a los aposentos del joven y fogoso Enrique VIII. El noble sir Owein Meredith la defenderá de los avances de un príncipe y el vehemente Logan Hepburn no se resignará a renunciar a la mujer que ama desde que eran niños, aunque tenga que desafiar los deseos de un rey.

Esta novela, que recrea con fidelidad y ardor las aventuras y romances de una joven heredera inglesa entre los siglos XVI y XVII, es el primer volumen de una saga cautivante.

Unattached romance novelist Emily Shann has gotten by on a vivid imagination, but now her publishers are demanding something sexier, more explicit, and true-to-life. Emily has nowhere to turn for advice except her new editor-tall, dark, and handsome Michael Devlin-who's already stirring her fantasies. So is The Channel-a secret network designed to tutor women in the art of sensual delight. Now, more willing than ever before, she must convince Devlin to teach her everything he knows-if her literary fantasies are to finally become an unedited flesh and blood reality…

Ashley Kimbrough has everything a woman could want. Not only is she wealthy and successful, she has a more than satisfying sex life in The Channel, a secret network that allows women to live out their wildest fantasies. But if she doesn't find herself a husband she could be in danger of losing it all.

Then multi-millionaire Ryan Mulcahy enters Ashley's life. With that Celtic warrior's body and drop-dead gorgeous face, he makes her fantasies run wild. Although their marriage is one of convenience, Ashley is starting to wonder whether she can use everything she learned from The Channel on her unsuspecting husband.

Welcome, dear reader, to the world of Hetar. A land of Forest Lords, of Shadow Princes and Coastal Kings. A place that is both civilized and savage. Where the social classes know their place, but where anyone can, under the right conditions, advance to the highest pinnacle. This is a place where pleasure is not censured but encouraged; where the ends are justified by the means. And yet all is not as perfect as it may seem. The orderly, elegant veneer of refined Hetar cannot prevent the rebellion brewing in the Outlands, a dangerous place of both magic and mystery.

From the City that is the very center of Hetar, Lara, the beautiful half-faerie daughter of John Swiftsword, ventures forth on a journey that will take her into the heart of darkness and the depths of desire, as she learns the true meaning of love that will last an eternity – a love that will change the destiny of Hetar forever.

Creating Hetar and its many characters has been a great challenge for me, but a wonderful and creative endeavor. I hope you will enjoy Lara's tale.

Taken captive by Ottoman pirates, Lady India Lindley finds herself falling in love with the man who now owns her, Caynan Reis, ruler of the Barbary state of El Sinut.

Elizabeth Meredith, la hija menor de Rosamund Bolton, no se parece en nada a sus refinadas hermanas. Rebelde y espontánea, la bella joven rechaza la vida palaciega y prefiere la tranquilidad de Friarsgate. Sin embargo, para proteger y conservar las tierras que adora necesita un marido, y viaja a la corte para encontrarlo.

Allí escandaliza a damas y caballeros al trabar amistad con Ana Bolena, la amante del rey Enrique VIII, y coquetear con Flynn Estuardo, el hermano bastardo de Jacobo V de Escocia. Baen MacColl ama en secreto a la hermosa dama de Friarsgate, pero ella es inglesa, y eso representa un verdadero inconveniente para él, pues no quiere romper los lazos de lealtad que lo unen con su padre, líder del dan escocés Hay.

¿Podrán Elizabeth y su amor vencer los obstáculos que amenazan con separarlos para siempre? ¿Logrará Elizabeth preservar Friarsgate y al mismo tiempo seguir los dictados de su corazón?

Philippa Meredith, la hija mayor de Rosamund Bolton y heredera de Friarsgate, sufre una terrible desilusión cuando el joven con quien pensaba casarse la abandona para ordenarse sacerdote. Sin embargo, ese inesperado giro del destino permite a la bella e impetuosa Philippa volver a ocupar su lugar en la corte de Catalina de Aragón y conocer a Crispin St. Claire, conde de Witton, un hombre sofisticado, elegante y, además, un excelente candidato para casarse. La pasión arrebatadora del noble caballero enloquece de deseo a Philippa.

Pero cuando ella se entera accidentalmente de un complot para asesinar al rey Enrique Tudor, y ambos se ponen en marcha para desenmascarar a los conspiradores, su amor se resiente por la dura prueba que deben atravesar. Sensualidad, drama e intriga abundan en este relato ambientado en la corte de Enrique VIII

My Dear Readers,

Five years have now passed since the Winter War between the Outlands and Hetar. But Gaius Prospero has not given up his scheme to become emperor, and unexpected tragedy causes Lara to once again heed the pull of her destiny. Finding herself across the sea in a secret new world known as Terah, she discovers that her magical abilities grow greater with each passing day.

Using her newfound powers, Lara lifts an ancient curse from the men of Terah, earning its ruler's gratitude – and his deep and passionate love. Magnus Hauk has never known a woman like Lara, and his fascination leads him to venture back across the sea with her to prevent another war. There, however, the ruler of Terah learns that betrayal is an everyday commodity; nothing is exactly what is seems in beautiful, sinister Hetar. And the lovers attract the animosity of Prospero, a dangerous enemy to have. For power, dear reader, does corrupt absolutely.

This take continues to unfold within the corridors of my imagination. I hope you will enjoy Lara's further adventures as she continues to seek out her true destiny. I know I am enjoying writing it for you.
