Sweet Cherry Ray
by Marcia Lynn McClure
Price $8.95
From Sweet Cherry Ray:

   "
Cherry glanced at her pa who frowned and slightly shook his head. Still, she couldn't help herself and she leaned over and looked down the road.
   "She could see the rider and his horse-a large buckskin stallion. As he rode nearer, she studied his white shirt, black flat-brimmed hat and double-breasted vest. Ever nearer he rode and she fancied his pants were almost the same color as his horse, with silver buttons running down the outer leg. Cherry had seen a similar manner of dress before-on the Mexican vaqueros that often worked for her pa in the fall.
   "Cherry," her pa scolded in a whisper as the stranger neared them. 
   She straightened and blushed, embarrassed by being as impolite in her staring as the other town folk were in theirs. It seemed everyone had stopped whatever they had been doing to walk out to the street and watch the stranger ride in.
No one spoke-the only sound was that of the breeze, a falcon's cry overhead and the rhythm of the rider's horse as it slowed to a trot…

Kissing Cousins
by Marcia Lynn McClure
Price $8.95
"It won't change your life ..." he said, his voice low and rich like a warm drink laced with molasses. "And it sure won't be the best kiss you'll ever have," he added. Her body erupted into goose bumps as his thumb traveled slowly over her lower lip. "But I'll try to make it worth your time ..."

Saphyre Snow
by Marcia Lynn McClure
Price: $8.95
"Have you sorted us all out then?" Rogan asked, unexpectedly turning to look at her. "Have you sorted the gentleman from the miscreants? Determined who will serve as your lover and who will be your footman?" Saphyre gasped, astonished at his insinuation of her choosing one of them for a lover. All the men chuckled, though Rogan only slightly grinned.

Saphyre silently scolded herself as the thought, "You, Rogan, would most certainly be sorted in as my lover," traveled through her tired mind. She shook her head, trying to dispel the inconceivable notion of such a man as Rogan being her lover. Yet, as she considered him in contrast of Kornelius' perfect manner, the perfumed scent about him…she dared to steal another glance at the disturbingly handsome vagabond. Strangely, her fear subsided for a moment as she looked at him. Even more extraordinary was the way her heart's beat increased…and not from means of fright.

The Rogue Knight
Price: $8.95
A VICTIM OF TRAGEDY AND OF WEALTH…SHE HELD NO HOPE, NO JOY TO ANTICIPATE IN LIFE. UNTIL WINTER’S WICKED BREATH BLEW HIM TO HER… An aristocratic birthright and the luxurious comforts of profound wealth did nothing to comfort Fontaine Pratina following the death of her beloved parents. After two years in the guardianship of her mother’s arrogant and selfish sister, Carileena Wetherton, Fontaine’s only moments of joy and peace were found in the company of the loyal servants of Pratina Manor. Only in the kitchens and servant’s quarters of her grand domicile did Fontaine find friendship, laughter and affection.

Always, the life of a wealthy orphan destined to inherit loomed before her…a dark cloud of hopeless, shallow, snobbish people…a life of aristocracy, void of simple joys…and of love. Still, it was her lot…her birthright and she saw no way of escaping it.

One brutal, cold winter’s night a battered stranger appeared at the kitchen servant’s entrance, however, seeking shelter and help. He gave only his first name, Knight…and suddenly, Fontaine found herself experiencing fleeting moments of joy in life. For Knight was handsome, powerful…the very stuff of the legends of days of old. Though a servant’s class was his, he was proud, strong and even his name seemed to portray his persona absolutely. He distracted Fontaine from her dull, hopeless existence.

But there were devilish secrets, strategies cached by her greedy aunt and not even the handsome and powerful Knight could save her from them. Or could he? And if he did…would the truth force Fontaine to forfeit her Knight, her heart’s desire…the man she loved… in order to survive?

Weathered Too Young
Price: $7.95
SHE HID TWO POWERFUL SECRETS… DISGRACE IN THE PAST…
AND AN ALL CONSUMING LOVE FOR ONE MAN.
Tom Evans was a kind and compassionate man.  When Lark Lawrence appeared on his front porch one day, he hired her to keep house and cook for himself and his cantankerous elder brother, Slater. And, although it was Tom who initially befriended Lark…it would be Slater, the brooding older brother, fourteen years Lark’s senior, who would unknowingly abduct her heart.  

But Lark held secrets buried deep within her soul.  Her true age, which she concealed at first meeting the Evans brothers, was not the only truth Lark had kept from Slater and Tom; a deeper, darker reality was imprisoned within her heart. The burden of this secret, coupled with the arrival of the beautiful Katherine Thatcher, who finds haven in Slater’s home as well, seems to cruelly shatter Lark’s dreams of Slater’s love ever being her own.  Will truth and hope mingle to free her heart and make her dreams come true?

Indebted Deliverance
Price: $5.95
Excerpt: 
His eyes stayed closed, but he wore a painful grimace on his face. Perspiration beaded on his forehead and traveled downward, streaking his temples. 
   Chalyce knelt before him, looking up into the face contorted with anguish. “ Race?" she said again, louder this time. His shirt hung open and she could see that every muscle revealed there was tensed. His legs were tensed as well, pushing his body back fiercely against the chair. He was obviously enduring some very intense nightmare.“Race," she repeated, putting her hand gently on one of his legs.He gasped as his eyes burst open, releasing several tears that slowly traveled down his cheeks as he blinked to clear his vision
    "What are you doing?" he asked, his voice quaking with emotion.
    "You were dreaming." Chalyce watched in wonder as his hands, trembling violently, went to his face. He rubbed his face, wiping at the moisture caused from the perspiration as well as the tears. "Are you well?" she asked, truly concerned for his well-being.
    He looked at her and chuckled nervously for a moment, perplexing her. She wondered at the state of his sanity.
    "Am I fine?" he repeated. "No, Chalyce...I am diseased. Diseased of mind and that condition causes a pestilence of my very being!"
