In and out . . .
That's Lieutenant Ian MacLean's goal. The leader of a team of
highly trained Navy SEALs-- the toughest, buffest fighting men in
the world-- the sexy, hard-as-nails bachelor has the brains, guts,
and brawn to outthink, outgun, and outmaneuver any enemy. But
dealing with a buxom, headstrong, iron-willed Viking maiden from a
time a thousand years before Ian was born . . . that's a whole
different kind of warfare.
Madrene Olgadottir has no idea where she is or that she's landed
ten centuries in the future. After bopping the arrogant soldier on
his head and tying him up, the stunning hellion gives him a tongue
lashing that makes a drill sergeant sound like a kindergarten
teacher. Then she demonstrates that she has her own special way of
dealing with overconfident males.
Hoo-yah, it looks like Operation Rodent is about to get . . .
Hot & Heavy
A New York Times Bestselling Author
Magnus Ericsson is a simple man. He loves the smell of
fresh-turned dirt after springtime plowing. He loves the feel of a
soft woman under him in the bed furs. He loves the heft of a good
sword in his fighting arm. But, Holy Thor, what he does not relish
is the bothersome brood of children he's been saddled with. Or the
mysterious happenstance that strands him and his longship full of
maddening offspring in a strange new land, where the folks think he
is an act-whore (whatever that is), and the woman of his dreams --
a winemaker -- fails to accept that he is her soul mate . . . a man
of exceptional talents, not to mention a Very Virile Viking.
What in the name of Thor could be making this Viking so blue?
Eating haggis? Listening to those insufferable bagpipes? Traveling
through Scotland with the world's worst poet? Searching for the
infuriatingly inept witch who's cursed his face . . . and even more
important parts?
For Rurik the Viking, life has not been worth living since he
left Maire of the Moors. Oh, it's not that he misses her fiery red
tresses or kissome lips. Nay, it's the embarrassing blue zigzag she
put on his face after their one wild night of loving. For a fierce
warrior who prides himself on his immense height, his expertise in
bedsport, and his well-honed muscles, this blue streak is the last
straw. In the end, he'll bring the witchling to heel, or die
trying. Mayhap, he'll even beg her to wed . . . so long as she can
promise he'll no longer be . . .
Has an eye for the ladies, loves a good fight. Splits his sides
over rude jokes. Won't ask directions no matter how lost he is . .
. even in a longship, for the love of Odin Sound like anyone you
know? Maybe every man you know?
Toste and Vagn Ivarsson are all that and more--a lot more.
Identical Viking twins, they came squalling into this world
together, rode their first horses at the age of seven, their first
maids during their thirteenth summer, and rode off on longships as
untried fourteen-year-old warriors. And now, having seen only
thirty and one winters, they are about to face Valhalla together.
Or maybe something even more tragic: being separated. For even the
most virile Viking must eventually leave his best buddy behind and
do battle with that most fearsome of all opponents--the love of his
life.
When enemies become lovers, you know you're in for a scorching hot
read! Rene LeDeux's burned out by D.C. politics and only wants to
build his cabin in peace. But if his wacky, matchmaking great-aunt
has her way, Bayou Black's prodigal son will be hitched before the
summer's over. And when Valerie "Ice" Breaux, Rene's high school
crush turned nemesis, is abducted by Rene's activist friends, it
starts to look like Tante Lulu just may get her wish. Mon Dieu!
It's bad enough being kidnapped, but did she have to land in the
lap of the most irritating, sexiest hunk she's ever laid her eyes
on? Now Val's stranded in Rene's remote cabin, besieged by
irrepressible LeDeux relations, not to mention a dingbat duo out to
save the swamp. It's a heat wave, guar-an-teed! Val vows she'll
give her heart to the Cajun bad boy when alligators fly. Rene
swears to get the girl who got away. It's never been steamier in
the bayou than with two people this red-hot with desire...and more
than ready for love.
A COWBOY ALWAYS GETS WHAT HE WANTS Talk about a bad hair day.
Louisiana beauty salon owner Charmaine LeDeux has a loan shark on
her tail, and Raoul Lanier, the six-foot-three hunk of testosterone
she thought she divorced, has just delivered a bombshell: They're
still married! At least the rundown ranch they've inherited
together is the perfect hideout. It's hard enough for Raoul to play
cowboy to a bunch of scrawny steer, let alone suffer the exquisite
torture of living with the delectable Charmaine, who's declared
herself a born-again virgin. What's a man crazy with desire to do?
With the moon shining over the bayou, this Cajun cowboy must
sweet-talk his way into his wife's arms again...before she unties
the knot for good!

Boltor's Bride
Bolthor the Skald has been there for his fellow warriors, both in
battle and as a friend. Always the bridesmaid, never the bride, so
to speak. This gentle giant, now scarred and retired from the fray,
has never found a woman who loves him despite his rough
appearance-and his poetry, which is woefully bad.
Enter the sexy, Saxon widow Katherine of Wickshire Manor, a woman
in need of a strong man to take care of her, her four children, not
to mention about two hundred chickens, in the style none of her
first three husbands could manage.
When Viking meets Saxon, the sparks do fly.

Most of the stories attempt to represent aspects of both the
personal and the political lives of women in South Africa and how
these are inseparably intertwined. For example, 'South bound' tells
of Harriott's life as a colonist arriving in Port-Natal during the
late 1800s. It examines British working-class women's options at
that time by exploring the possible reasons for her decision to
emigrate. In 'Thicker than water', the journey from a Second Boer
War refugee camp in Queenstown to Johannesburg, is narrated by
Isabella, inward bound, and by Hester, outward bound. The story
explores the impact of war, stereotype and discrimination on them
both and shows how women are able to foster supportive
relationships despite prevailing politics. 'By any other name'
touches on the history of District Six and reflects on the
political uprisings of the 1970s , the resulting loss and
displacement, and consequent longing for home. 'Unsettled' expands
on this story and engages with the question of how contemporary
white women forge a (new) sense of identity and belonging in this
country and grapple with the loss of family and friends who chose
to leave rather than contribute to the New South Africa. 'Could be'
uses the story of Anene Booysen as its departure point and looks at
the issue of violence against women. 'For your own good', 'What it
takes' and 'Incognito' are not connected to a specific political or
historical event, yet also raise important social issues of ageing,
loss of identity, family disintegration, gender violence and
friendship.
