Books
The Deed
Lady Emmalene Eberhart wanted to do it. She'd even begged an audience with the King so that he would order her husband to do it-- because she was determined to be a good wife. But then her husband died, and Emma remained a virgin. Now the innocent young beauty finds herself with an ample dowry and promised to Amaury de Aneford, a landless knight whose able sword helped defend the King's crown. Surely her new husband would want to do the deed, for his rugged good looks certainly make Emma's heart skip more than a beat. And Emma suspects there is more to a wedding night than just a sound sleep--and more to true love than she ever imagined.
Judy
Judy and her high school friends find more adventure than they had planned at their summer camp in upstate New York.
