Two Books Are Discounted Beginning 9-7-2016

Secret Heart Cover 2

On September 7, 2016, two of my books go on discount pricing. You can access both books in the Romance header on this site. One is under Intrigue and the other is under Historical.

The first book, Secret Heart, is the romantic intrigue, and here is the blurb for it.

Betrayed by her fiance, Lady Ashleigh Prescott flees Great Britain to her cousin in Oklahoma, America.

Hiding at a cabin on the family ranch of her cousin’s wife, Ashleigh lays low so her fiance can’t find her. When Rex Cornelius’ brother-in-law returns from a rodeo tour, she finds herself in more danger than she was in London. But is this large man more dangerous to her safety – or her heart?

Luke Bradford is furious when he learns that someone is living in his cabin. The cold, dark night disguises the intruder’s true identity, though, and he attacks a woman – much to his disbelief and regret. When he begins taking care of Ashleigh to make amends, he learns there was more to this woman than he’d originally. She was hiding a secret, and he is determined to coax it from her.

Then her fiance comes to town, and Luke needs to get her away from him. Did he need to do it for her, though? Or was he doing it to keep her with him? She claims that they can never be together, but he wants to prove her wrong. In order to do that, he needs to save her from whatever fate she claims awaits her in Britain.

With Ashleigh’s fiance on her trail, they head to a rodeo in Arizona. On the way, Luke discovers the truth about her past and possible future. He also knows that he most protect her at all cost. For the first time in his life, he can’t live without a woman.

Before Luke can do that, Ashleigh leaves him to return to Oklahoma and what awaits her in Britain. Will Luke make it to her before she submits to the future?

 

The second book is a historical romance entitled Kindred Desires. Here is the blurb.

A war was brewing in Scottsburg, Wyoming. That was what the letter slipped under the door at the Scottsburg Sentinal newspaper claimed, and at first, editor Scott MacPherson thought it was cattle ranchers against the sheep farmers who were fencing in their lands. When he realized it was actually one rancher against his third cousin, Heather Scott, though, he was determined to protect her – despite his grandmother’s vehement objections.

But Heather wanted nothing to do with him. She didn’t need a man to protect her. She’d been taking care of herself and her three younger sisters since she was sixteen and their parents had both died. Now Scott, who had come back from years of working in Boston to run the local newspaper for his grandmother, was determined to help her despite her anger with the family. The Scott family hadn’t helped her in four years, and since he refused to publish the letter because he felt it was too dangerous for her, she didn’t believe she needed any help from him.

Or did she? Her sheep were getting killed on a fairly regular basis, and Scott only wanted to protect her like he did when those men had shot at them one night. Unfortunately, Scott’s charm was winning her over so she fought with him just to keep her emotional distance. When they were stranded after an avalanche caused by someone shooting at them, she realized that her attempts to keep him from getting into her heart had failed, just as her sisters had proclaimed.

Before she could marry Scott, though, they needed to trap that cattle rancher into a confession so they could get him out of her life once and for all.
