Others: PositiveWessex, 873. Beautiful and defiant, Kristen Haardrad, 19, met the icy fury in her captor's crystal-green gaze with defiance. She was the prisoner of 27 year old Royce, Thane of Wyndhurst, but his slave she'd never be. This powerful Saxon lord had at last met his match in the Viking beauty--his equal in pride, in strength... and in the fierce, hot hunger of insatiable desire. But Kristen could not know the torment that divided his soul; how he ached to hold her soft, supple body, thirsted for the ringing joy of her laughter--yet hated her for an ancient crime that was not her own. But her golden loveliness drives him mad with desire, her fiery eyes taunting him, compelling him to claim her. Until, in wordless surrender, they cast aside the shackles of doubt and distrust to unite forever in the searing promise of all-consuming love.

Others: PositiveTough minded Jessica Trent’s sole intention is to free her nitwit brother from the destructive influence of Sebastian Ballister, the notorious Marquess of Dain. She never expects to desire the arrogant, amoral cad. And when Dain’s reciprocal passion places them in a scandalously compromising, and public, position, Jessica is left with no choice but to seek satisfaction. Damn the minx for tempting him, kissing him, and then forcing him to salvage her reputation! Lord Dain can’t wait to put the infuriating bluestocking in her place — and in some amorous position. And if that means marriage, so be it — though Sebastian is less than certain he can continue to remain aloof, and steel his heart to the sensuous, headstrong lady’s considerable charms.
