She's known him her whole life, but not like this. Pampered and spolied, Cecily Blake has always seen handsome and wealthy Marcus Henshaw as an uncreachable celebrity. And then he comes to her rescue when she needs him most, changing both their lives forever. The chemistry between them is intense, but their differences are extreme. Can they overcome the obstacles on their rocky road to love?Cecily's Blake's life as a pampered princess has left her ill prepared to take over her family's Montana ranch. But that's exactly what happens when her father is sent to prison. Destitute and desperate, Cecily must give up her dreams and her future to try and learn how to turn a profit. The last thing she needs is to fall in love, and certainly not with a neighbor she's known all her life. Marcus Henshaw is too old, too rich, too handsome, and too unavailable. In short, he's the worst possible choice for her at the worst possible time. Marcus has a different opinion, though. He doesn't see his age, his wealth, or his longtime girlfriend as an obstacle between them. He has always gotten whatever he wanted, at least until he decided he wanted Cecily. Who would have thought the flighty girl he watched grow up would turn out to be the most captivating woman he ever met? And who would have believed that someone so close could be so out of reach? As he tries to convince Cecily to give their rocky romance a chance, someone unexpected starts throwing obstacles in their path, making them wonder if getting what they wish for just might be the worst mistake of their lives.

THEIR LOVE IS FORBIDDEN—BUT IT WILL NOT BE DENIED. In Dark Ages Britain, a king's daughter must decide what matters more: love or duty.BRITAIN, 624 ADRaedwyn—daughter of King Raedwald of the East Angles—has just been handfasted to one of her father's ealdorman. Although highborn women wed to strengthen political alliances, rather than for love, Raedwyn still hopes for a happy marriage like that of her parents'. But, her optimism is shattered on her wedding night.Raedwyn's life shifts unexpectedly when outlaws ambush her new husband's party on their journey back to his long ship. She finds herself captive of a bitter, vengeful warrior —Ceolwulf the Exiled. He has a score to settle with King Raedwald and Raedwyn is his bargaining tool.Caelin, Ceolwulf's enigmatic son, follows his father on his quest for revenge. Fiercely loyal to her own father, Raedwyn isn't prepared for her wild attraction to Caelin—or for its consequences. In a world where to go against a king's word means death, Raedwyn must decide what matters more: love or duty.

It wasn't her first choice, for Seonaid Dunbar had, like her brother, been trained as a Scottish warrior at her father's knee; but fleeing to an abbey was clearly preferable to whacking on Blake Sherwell with her sword -- which she'd happily do before wedding the man. No, she'd not walk weakly to the slaughter, dutifully pledge troth to anyone the English court called "Angel." Fair hair and eyes as blue as the heavens hardly proved a man's worth. There was no such thing as an English angel; only English devils. And there were many ways to elude a devilish suitor, even one that King Henry ordered her to wed. No, the next Countess of Sherwell was not sitting at home in her castle as Blake thought: embroidering, peacefully waiting for him to arrive. She was fleeing to a new stronghold and readying her defenses. Swords and sleeping drafts, Claymores and kisses. This battle would require all weapons--if he ever caught her. And the Chase was about to begin.
