Also known as: Sylvie F. Sommerfield
Also known as Sylvie F. Sommerfield In 1978, Sylvie Sommerfield's husband challenged her to write a "better" romance novel, than the ones she eagerly devoured. She accepted the challenge. And now the six-time grandmother has written many historical romance novels, which have sold into the millions of copies. In fact, John Sommerfield had to retire from his successful career as an investment funds manager to run the business side of Sylvie F. Sommerfield Enterprises. Some of her books, with western themes, all published by Zebra, include Moonlit Magic, Tame My Wild Heart, Captive Embrace, Savage Rapture, Savage Kiss, Wild Wyoming Heart and Autumn Dove.

SOFT AS VELVET Commanded to marry a Saxon heiress in order to secure her lands for his king, Norman knight Royce, Sword of William, did not expect to find the lovely creature who stood before him. Her flaxen hair billowed behind her, windswept from a recent ride. Her defiant eyes the color of cornflowers on a summer day revealed the intelligence and gentleness her awesome beauty could not hide. For once, Royce was struck speechless--and he knew that he would be the one to spark the fire that would set this maid aflame with desire. HARD AS STEEL He was the largest, most intense man she had ever encountered. His well-muscled chest rippled with every movement; his thick black hair fell in waves like the softest silk. But it was his gaze that both unnerved her and touched her soul. His golden eyes glanced over her body and heated her to the very core of her being. For though he was the Sword of William=-a knight so passionate and powerful on the battlefield, legends told his tale--Lynette saw the pain behind his handsome visage, and knew that she would be the one to heal the wounds of his tormented past.
Tame my wild heart
Flames of desire exploded in Sabrina's veins the moment she laid eyes on her new master, Clay Storm. She had an urgent need to -go to him, feel his manly strength, the hot-fire passion of his lips. And when he explored her flesh with gentle searching kisses, she knew she wanted to be more than his servant--she wanted to win his heart. Fires of love surged through Clay's blood the instant his blue eyes locked with the violet of Sabrina's. He held her bound against him with iron-hard arms, crushing her soft pliant curves to his body, claiming her honey-sweet mouth with his own.

Night Walker
Out of the darkness he appeared, startling Brittany with his half-naked savagery, infuriating her with his refusal to explain his presence at the mission. She had come to the Dakotas to teach the Sioux, she reminded herself, but she hadn't expected to be taunted and tantalized by a man who could so easily steal her heart. Morning Sun. That was what he called her, for she had first come to him in a vision...misty and golden. But did her appearance at his village signal good fortune or disaster? Harsh experience had taught him there could be no union between his people and hers, yet her sweet kisses heated his blood until it flowed like honey, until he knew that like two halves of one whole, she would always be the morning sun of his midnight desire.
