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 ..."

Daydreams
by Marcia Lynn McClure
Price $8.95
Each day after her lunch hour and
before his, Sayler would enter Bo Booker's room to find him smiling,
seemingly anxious for her to arrive. Each day for six days she talked
with him, asking him questions about his work, his family and life.
Always, however, she avoided any inquiry about his social life,
whether or not he had a girlfriend. She preferred to pretend he did
not, that he was quite unattached and free. That made it easier to
daydream about belonging to him herself. Oh sure, she knew daydreams
were only that…dreams people made up during the day to entertain
themselves. Still, Bo Booker was the perfect subject matter for
daydreaming and Sayler relished every one. And there were many. Sayler
would find herself staring up at the sky, but instead of seeing the
summer blue she saw herself on the arm of Bo Booker. Instead of
hearing the stories of library excitement when Monica was speaking to
her, often Sayler could almost imagine being kissed by Bo Booker.
Almost feel his lips pressed to hers, almost feel what it would be
like to be held in his strong arms. |

Love Me
by Marcia Lynn McClure
Price: $8.95
Suddenly, Jacey felt as if she might pass out. Her heart was hammering far too hard in her chest, her skin felt hot and her eyes threatened to fill with tears. Though he hid it, Scott had a fabulous singing voice…and his hand at her waist, his nearness, the low light of the room, his singing her favorite Elvis song…all of it was combining to perfectly break Jacey’s heart.
"Break my faithful heart, tear it all apart…but love me," he continued. Jacey tried not to stare at his mouth as he sang, tried not to wish he would be the first boy to kiss her…tried not to wish he would be the last.

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!" |
