THE CONQUEST

Romance Erotica Sensual | Romance Historical

Out of duty, Lady Rhiannon MacKay must wed a man she's never met to ease the strain between Scotland and England after a long war. She loves her freedom in the Highlands of Scotland with her lochs, valleys and stretches of mountains; she only hopes her new home is as beautiful as her homeland. Rhiannon's anxiety of the unknown is not put to rest when the gorgeous knight arrives to escort her to her betrothed, but instead he awakens a passion she's unsure how to control.

Adelstan Cawdor feels pride in being trusted with the responsibility of bringing Lord Malgor his future bride and prize for his loyalty to King William. His task is an easy one, especially since honor and duty is what he believes in above all else. The moment he sets his eyes on the beautiful maiden, he knows he'll have his hands full with not only keeping her safe from his men, but also from himself. He must hold true and deny his heart but can he deny her as well?

This historical romance is a beautifully written love story rich with colorful characters and erotic scenes perfect for late night reading. Definitely a must-read!

SUMMARY

HER BODY WAS PROMISED TO ONE MAN.

Rhiannon McKay, daughter of the wealthy laird of Clan
MacKay, always knew she would one day be married to
someone of her father’s choosing.

However, when he offers her hand and dowry to the older
Norman baron Lord Malgor in exchange for the Lord’s
services to the king, it is nothing like she had imagined.

Now she must spend her life with a man who could never
satisfy the needs of someone so ripe and willing.

SHE SURRENDERED IT TO ANOTHER.

When handsome Adelstan Cawdor is hired to escort Rhiannon
to her betrothed, one look at her and he is smitten. He
despises having to deliver this beauty to a rival. What’s
more, Rhiannon doesn’t want to go. She yearns to be
rescuedβ€”and taken by a man like Adelstan, regardless of
betraying a formidable foe like the baron. But when
Rhiannon’s life is threatened, Adelstan’s prepared to do
anything to win his lovely prize, and save her from the
terrible consequences of another man’s vengeance.
