Savage Thunder
1989
Newly widowed after a shockingly brief marriage to an elderly British lord, Jocelyn Fleming, 22, still aches with the pain of unexplored desire. And now her restless heart is leading her far from the protective bosom of polite London society to the perilous beauty of the American West . . . and to 22 year old Colt Thunder. Breathlessly exciting but dangerously unpredictable, Colt is a loner whose Cheyenne blood burns hotter than the blistering Arizona sun. Jocelyn's wealth and title mean nothing to this stranger whose passion rules his actions and his heart. But neither the wild desert stallion nor the untouched English rose can deny their irresistible attraction. . .or prevent the firestorm of emotion that erupts when their vastly different worlds collide. Note: yes, this is the book with a sex on a horse scene
Roses After Rain
1990
AUSTRALIA Vast and untamed, it was a land that tested the boundaries of a man's courage, and rugged Ian Lavery reveled an the struggle as he pitted himself against bushrangers, wild dingoes and drought. THALIA Beautiful and provocative, she tried the limits of a man's endurance, but Ian sensed there were exquisite pleasures to be had in claiming the penniless emigre. ROSES AFTER RAIN Wild and sweet, their passion went beyond the bounds of propriety, yet neither would deny a love as unconquerable as the continent itself.
Savage Heat
1989
SHE WAS THE GENERAL'S GOLDEN-HAIRED DAUGHTER. Recklessly she danced the night away. Newly arrived at the Denver cavalry post, she was the darling of the regiment... until a shadow fell across her path -- a raven-haired man who made her blood run hot and her heart stop cold. No longer the dazzling debutante; Martay Kidd, 18, was suddenly the hostage of a man who would plunder her body, capture her heart, and carry her off into a world beyond her wildest dreams. HE WAS A PROUD SIOUX CHIEFTAIN. The white man knew him as 24 year old James Savin. The Sioux called him Night Sun, the bravest of all warriors. But his true identity was as secret as his plan for revenge on the cavalry officer who'd massacred his family so long ago. His plan was perfect. He'd meant to exchange his beautiful prey for the life of the general himself. But he hadn't planned on spiriting her back to his people, into the Dakota territory, the world he was meant to command. And he hadn't planned to become the captive of his ravishing prisoner, bound to a love that could never be.
