In passion's shadow
HE PURCHASED HER BODY, THEN CAPTURED HER HEART When Lady Catrina Lynleigh first laid eyes on the man who called himself Flint Ashton, her favors were being auctioned off by infamous whoremonger who had kidnapped her as she fled her London home and the prospect of a hateful arranged marriage to a total stranger. Enflamed by Catrina's golden beauty, Flint "purchased" the innocent young girl and carried her off to his ship The Golden Rose, which was setting sail for America. The attraction between Catrina and the virile, handsome Flint was instantaneous and overwhelming, lighting fires in both that demanded to be quenched. But only Flint was conscious of the irony of their situation, for though he knew Catrina's true identity, she remained unaware that the man who had awakened her senses to the raptures of love, was actually Ashton St. James, the very man whom she had vowed she would never wed....
Nightrider
"Night Marauder, Night Lover, Night Rider". He rode out of the darkness astride a coal black stallion, appearing from nowhere like a phantom in the night. To the lords and ladies he robbed, he was an unprincipled highwayman, a common theif who deserved to swing from the gallows on Tyburn Hill. But to Lady Bliss Paynter, he was a thrilling enigma, and uncommonly skilled lover who had stolen nothing from her but a breathless kiss. Promised to an influential nobelman, Bliss knew she could have no future with the man who haunted her daydreams. But before she resigned herself to a loveless marriage, she would know one night of ecstasy in those forbidden arms. one night of wild passion in her lonely bed. one night of throbbing intimacy that would change all the nights to come."
