"Yankee Wife"
Pocket Books, June 1993
Reviewed on 11/22/00

Lydia McQuire's courage had never wavered during the bloodiest days of the Civil War. A year later, the pretty former Union Army nurse was alone, three thousand miles from home, gamely scraping out an honest living. But now, as she said yes to marrying a stranger, her knees gave way with fear. Mr. Devon Quade had seemed polite and handsome when she answered his ad for a wife. Only after Lydia had set sail for his family's settlement in Washington Territory did she learn the truth: her bridegroom wasn't to be sweet Devon Quade, but his older brother Brigham, a widower with shoulders a yard wide, hands as strong as steel, and an arrogant belief that he was lord and master of his lumber empire, the town of Quade's Harbor, and the woman he married. Lydia's dislike of him was both ardent and instantaneous... yet she also wanted him to kiss her until he took her breathe away. And when Brigham wrapped her in his strong embrace, he awakened in her a white-hot passion, and a firm resolve: before she would share his bed, tough, hard-headed Brigham Quade would have to surrender himself, heart and soul, to love.

"Taming Charlotte"
Pocket Books, November 1993
Reviewed on 11/22/00

Kidnapped and confined in a harem - that's not the scenario Charlotte Quade envisioned when she prayed for just one grand adventure before sailing home to Washington Territory from Europe. While exploring the ancient, exotic island kingdom od Riz, Charlotte foolishly lost her way. In a dizzying moment, she was snatched, bound up in a sack and uncermoniously dumped - completely naked! - in the ship's cabin of the very same man who had caught her fancy as a young girl in Seattle: Captain Patrick Trevarran. But Charlotte's dream lover turned out to be no gentleman! He had once gallantly fetched her, as a mischievous teeager, from the riggings of his ship, but now he appraised her with exasperation and quickly packed her off to the harem of a Sultan friend. When they were reunited - as much by mercy as by fate - it was clear the Patrick wished merely to tease and trifle with this pretty, rebellious American. But, through their adventure, Charlotte had discovered a provocative man torn between recklessness and devotion, between storm adn calm. Now, with all the strength and passion she possessed, Charlotte would chart a course that would sweep them at last to their destiny - a glorious adn resounding love.

"Rainbow"

"Renegade"
Bantam Books, April 1993
Reviewed on 3/22/00

Prisoner Rhys Redding never wondering why an angel with gleaming eyes would appear in the hellish confederate jail. All he cared about was that she was his only hope of escaping Richmond before the conquering Yanks set the prisoners free and found out who he really was - and that she stoked a fire within him that burned hotter than any fever. Susannah Fallon knew nothing about the wounded man who lay on the cot next to her brother's beyond the incongruity of his Yankee uniform and his Welsh accent. Though she saw in his onyx eyes the wild, predatory spirit of a hawk, something within her urged Susannah to trust him, to take the chance that he could make the perilous journey across the lawless South and get her home to Texas. As they traveled the scarred, burned-out land, they would feel the heat of passion's flame - but once they reached their destination, would Rhys take flight again... or would the man who instited he had no soul realize that he'd found the keeper of his heart?

"Rainbow"
Bantam Books, August 1991
Reviewed on 3/22/00
Rainbow
Heiress Meredith Seaton was the talk of Vicksburg, Mississippi. But Merry's appearance as a vain, simpering Southern belle concealed a sharp mind and a burning mission - one which could place her life in jeopardy were it discovered. Rakish riverboat owner Quinn Devereux was the black sheep of his family, a gambler of no ambition but a great deal of arrogance. His cynicism was also a cloak... which hid a past he dared not reveal, and a present filled with peril. Devereux was at once all Merry had ever wanted and everything she feared. His blue eyes seemed to see straight through to her soul, and his passion possessed her as no man's ever had. But bounty hunters would capture or kill anyone who dared to break the laws of society these two broke... and the brazen dreams of a man and woman in love were like haff in the winds of destiny, swept toward the flames of desire - or the tragedy of war.

"Silken Bondage"
Dell, November 1989
Reviewed on 7/21/00

Sassy and unmannered, Nevada Marie Hamilton was penniless and alone. She'd come to the luxurious riverboat to earn her way as a singer. But then fate intervened when in one wild act of passion a devil named Johnny Roulette plundered, her body. Suddenly she was the ward of the Mississippi's most notorious gambler and a captive of his own brand of loving torment. The black sheep of an aristocratic southern family, Johnny Roulette was big, sensual, and handsome. To him love was a game played for a night, then forgotten. His naked hunger for Nevada was no different. Only when his desire was out of control did he discover her innocence. Vowing to make amends by turning her into a fine lady who could marry a respectable man, he hadn't counted on the defiance of his ravishing lady luck, or the fiery hot desires the raged between them and made him want to hold her forever.

"A Lifetime of Heaven"
Dell, March 1993
Reviewed on 7/21/00

She was a spirited St. Louis do-gooder who'd traveled to the teeming shores of San Francisco's waterfront to find her missing brother... and to wage an all-out war on sin and corruption. He was a silver-eyed scoundral and owner of the Barbary Coast's most scandalous den of sin... the handsomest, most unrepentant rogue ever to lead a woman into forbidden temptation. They met beneath a blazing noonday sun - a man and a woman from two far-flung worlds fated to come together... destined to meet in an explosion of passion that would shatter all convention and leave Kay Montgomery and Nick McCabe changed forever. Two unlikely lovers caught between seduction and salvation, their shameless desires would sweep them from the midnight alleys of Chinatown to the glitter and grandeur of Nob Hill. And as Kay vowed never to love this man she could neither reform nor resist, Nick McCabe risked hellfire and damnation for the sweet promise of forever in the arms of the right woman.
