Princess of Thieves

Love is mightier than the sword…

Demons of Dunmore, book 4.

Sir Graham Dunmore is looking forward to competing in his first summer tournament—until he gets saddled with babysitting a prince in disguise, three fairy-godmothers he would much rather see fly back to where they came from, and a woman for a squire. Gone for years, Jiliana is now back in Westmyre, older, colder, with a lethal fighting skill that leaves him both impressed and intrigued.

Jili doesn’t recognize this sleek, well-trained man as the awkward friend from her youth. But seeing Graham again brings back painful memories of a brutal past. One that forces her to live a life of tight control, lest one slip unleash a deadly monster capable of hurting everyone in her path.

Yet as Graham patiently teaches her the arts of love, Jili has a glimmer of hope that she can finally control the killer that lurks inside her—until a ninja assassin begins to stalk the tournament.

With a heavy heart, she realizes Graham is going to need every skill she possesses to protect the prince—the very skills that could tear them apart forever.

When she bargained with the devil of her dreams, they both found their heart’s delight.

Demons of Dunmore Series

Lady Jessaline Nolan is as stubborn as her fiery red hair implies; thwarting her father’s wishes every chance she gets. The day of her impending forced marriage proves no exception. She swears she would rather marry a Demon of Dunmore than the man her father has chosen.

Lord Llewellyn Dunmore is happily unwed, as the men in his lineage have remained for generations. It’s become a family tradition. But he is drawn to the beautiful damsel in distress and agrees to save her on one condition—that she willingly succumb to his every sensual demand. To his utter surprise, she agrees.

While Jessaline’s father schemes to bring her back by any means necessary, Jessaline and Llewellyn spend their nights in decadent delight and three rather cranky fairy-godmothers lend their magical help to the lovers.

Darker secrets lurk, however, as well as a shadowy past that Jessaline is unaware of. Can the new love between Jessaline and Llewellyn survive when confronted with hidden truths?

They say that love is blind…too bad it’s not, it sure would help.

Return again to Westmyre in this second installation of the Demons of Dunmore series.

When the elegant architect Wynn meets Lady Jane Seville—ex-tavern wench and trollop—they clash like the outrageous colors of her clothes, her temper and fiery passion sending him to realms of frustrated arousal he has never known before.

The stakes are high. The king has promised Wynn the position of Lord High Mason…but only if he can marry Jane and gain her newly restored title. Jane, however, is jaded by a lifetime spent on the fringes of society, and is unwilling to reclaim her heritage due to the tragic circumstances of her past.

Wynn has issues of his own. Born albhus, with no pigmentation in his skin or hair, he has spent his entire life climbing the ranks of his profession in order to fit in and be accepted by the upper-class elite. Jane has no such intentions.

Can these two opposites learn to love?

Fairies, fairies, everywhere…and not a flyswatter in sight.

A Love and Lore story.

Meara Magee sees fairies…and wishes she couldn’t. The unruly creatures are the bane of her existence. When these annoying creatures lead her to a handsome man washed up on shore, she can almost forgive them. Until she learns sexy Coast Guard officer Jamison Murphy can see them, too.

Jamison promises he can rid her of her fairy infestation—for the price of a kiss. He’s convinced his specially concocted magic dust will repel them. Despite her protests to the contrary, he’s also convinced Meara is meant for him.

But there’s more trouble afoot than a rowdy flock of pixies. The Celtic god Lugh wants Meara for his own, while the local Banshee pines for Lugh. Meara is certain that a Banshee makeover will solve all their problems, and get the pesky immortals out of her life for good.

When the otherworldly beings reveal their true natures, Meara must choose to accept her fairy special gift…

Or reject it, and lose Jamison forever.

Being a spinster was much easier than becoming the accidental countess and it definitely didn't prepare her for falling in love.
