The Bride Bed

A REBELLIOUS BRIDE

The king has decreed that his loyal servant, Alex de Corsley, will rule the Lady Talia's lands and determine whom the fiery maiden will wed. The groom he chooses, however, will certainly not be himself, for the noble knight desires a far richer castle and a docile wife—not this infuriating, iron-willed beauty who resists his authority at every turn. Yet the woman's charm, strength and smoldering sensuality are rapidly becoming a serious distraction….

A RELUCTANT HEART

In the past, Lady Talia has managed to save her humble ancestral castle from the ravages of war, and her virtue from the numerous self-proclaimed “husbands.” But the unnervingly attractive warrior who has “rescued” her from yet another unwanted wedding seems the most dangerous of the lot. No man will ever decide her future! But how can Talia hope to safeguard the people in her care and retain her cherished independence when she secretly, passionately longs for Alex to share her bed?
