He soon learned that the tall, golden-eyed beauty was not to be trifled with and her cold prickly reserve was no act, as her cool glances chilled him to the bone. But then again, luck was on his side when he quickly discovered her amazing side line, and she eventually asked him to help her. The year is 1969. The place is Vietnam, aboard the hospital ship USS Sanctuary sitting in the middle of the South China Sea.

When Harriot Puddleton received the man at their door, little did she realize that Marcus Rutherford was the man her sister Emily had set her sights upon.

Lord Hobart Lonsdale, also known as Hobson, watched the woman deal the cards. He knew she was cheating but was yet to figure out how? He was about to call it a night when he caught sight of the lad, in one small bevel of the large mirror that hung at the back of the bar. When he found the same lad, badly beaten at the rear of the hotel, he discovered the truth; he, was really a she, and she was about to be sold to the highest bidder. Incensed, Hobson rescues her and they disappear. At the other end of town, a large shipping vessel slides against the pier of Boston Harbour.

Set in 1845, nothing prepared Lady Jacqueline, Duchess of Norgate, for the pain of Raven Wing's poisonous arrow as it ripped through her flesh and pinned her to a tree. She had fled England, leaving behind the cruelty of Edward Washbourne and his maniacal plan to claim her inheritance, only to be struck down when she was so close to safety. She has less than a day's ride to go and she would have arrived at Edgewater, home of the current Duke of Forkworth and brother to her dearest friend Millicent.
