About this series
When she refuses to accompany her family to London for the new king's coronation-and to accept an unwelcome offer of marriage-Isolde FitzHugh knows she's merely putting off the inevitable. But for now the eldest daughter of a Welsh patriot and an English nobleman revels in her temporary freedom. In the village, she spies a bearded, dark-haired stranger and feels an unexpected surge of desire. But the man who seduces her in the dead of night is no wandering minstrel. He is her family's most treacherous foe.
Banished from his homeland and forced to learn the hated English ways, Rhys ap Owain has waited twenty years to set foot on Welsh soil again. Taking the innocence of his enemy's daughter will strike a mortal blow to the traitorous FitzHughs and be the first step toward avenging his murdered father. Isolde will be the instrument of his retribution, his hostage in the kingdom that was stolen from his people-but he never dreams that she will awaken within him a love more powerful than hate.
Contains mature themes.

- The Bride of Rosecliffe
1
In a time of strife and treachery, an English nobleman dares to fall in love with the rebellious Welsh beauty he has captured in the name of king and country Exiled to the wilds of northern Wales as part of King Henry I's shrewd efforts to suppress the power of England's noblemen, Randulf FitzHugh prepares for war. He and his army will build a fortress on the ramparts of Rosecliffe, then return to London in triumph. Josselyn ap Carreg Du loathes the English conquerors who are ravaging her homeland. Yet the only way to vanquish the invaders is to unite her people against them by wedding a cruel Welsh warmonger she despises even more. But when the seductive English noble who leads the assault against the Welsh turns the tables by taking her prisoner, Josselyn becomes a pawn in a political power struggle that can have no true victor. As hate flames into unexpected desire, uniting two bitterly divided enemies, Josselyn and Rand must battle a far more formidable adversary: their traitorous hearts. Contains mature themes.

When a beautiful Welsh loyalist is taken prisoner by her English enemy, she must make an impossible choice between loyalty and love Forced to live under the yoke of the hated English, Rhonwen ap Tomas feels like a rabbit caught in a snare. When she catches sight of the devilishly handsome English knight whose life she once saved, her only desire is to kill him. But her arrow misses its mark and Jasper FitzHugh vows that although they are enemies now, one day they will be lovers. For ten years, Jasper fought in the long shadow of his warrior brother, Rand, who claimed this remote corner of northern Wales for England and crowned himself lord of Rosecliffe Castle. Now Jasper must safeguard Rand's wife and children and find a way to soothe the restlessness in his soul. His near-fatal encounter with the wild creature from his childhood-now a ravishing beauty bent on avenging her Welsh brethren-only fuels his hunger to possess her. When circumstances and a dangerous enemy conspire to make Rhonwen Jasper's prisoner, passion flares hotly between captive and captor, drawing them to a destiny neither could ever have imagined.
