Becnel Rexanne
The Bride of Rosecliffe
 List Price: Price: $2.74 You Save: $3.76 (58%) DescriptionBestselling, award-winning author Rexanne Becnel brings the glory, intrigue, and breathtaking passion of the twelfth-century Wales to life in this spellbinding tale of loyalty and love...
In the name of the English King Henry, Rand Fitz Hugh has arrived to claim rebellious Wales. A fierce and loyal warrior, he is prepared for war, but boldly seeks peace, never imagining the battle that will rage within his own heart. Josselyn ap Carreg Du is prepared to marry a man she loathes in order to unite Welsh lands against the hated English. Before she can do so, Rand makes her his captive-and pawn of his politics and ambition. She fears him, not because he is her mortal enemy...but because he has the means to make her forget that. In a time of strife and treachery, when enemies give no mercy and desperate choices mus be made, love may prove the greatest weapon of all... The wild landscape and warring factions of medieval Wales come to life in this first of a new trilogy. Ambitious Randulf Fitz Hugh deeply resents being sent by King Henry to the remote Welsh coast, where he is to build a castle and subdue the locals. Determined to do his duty quickly and return to London, he resists his growing passion for the niece of a local chieftan, Josselyn ap Carreg Du, who serves first as his cook and translator and soon becomes his sensual captive, a pawn with which he intends to settle political alliances. But Josselyn, equally determined to resist English domination, sees no choice but to deny her passion for Rand and unite the Welsh against him by marrying a brutal Welsh warlord. Well-drawn secondary characters--especially a tart-tongued girl and a rebellious son who will appear in future books--add to this vivid tale of tough, passionate people pursuing their desires no matter what the consequences. --Ellen Edwards

The Matchmaker
 List Price: Price: $3.71 You Save: $2.79 (43%) DescriptionFrom the journal of Miss Olivia Byrde:
Lord H...Drinks too much. Ill-mannered and altogether too bold. Though rough-edged, he is tall and reasonably handsome. But he proves the rule that looks can be deceiving. Ill-suited for marriage. Since her entry into society three years ago, Olivia has kept detailed notes on every eligible man with whom she's ever sipped a cup of tea or twirled across the dance floor. Some of her diary entries have resulted in successful matches for her friends, but she's never found any man she considered remotely suitable for herself. But once Lord Neville Hawke comes into her life, the other men in her book look positively perfect. Neville's a notorious scoundrel with a shady and painful past, and a penchant for destroying rooms in fits of drunken rage. A heartbreaker and a rogue, Lord Hawke is the kind of man who knows how to seduce a woman with only his taunting eyes and challenging words. The kind of man to whom a well-bred lady like Olivia is quite definitely immune. Until he kisses her. And in that kiss he lets her know she is his salvation. With each caress he dares her to stop looking in her book and start listening to her heart. For two very stubborn souls have just found their perfect match...
