Gianelle may have been born a slave, but that doesn't mean
she intends to live out her life in situations of ill
treatment and abuse at the hands of men. She and her friend
plan an escape from their master, Lord Bryce Dermott, but
are discovered by an emissary of the king who's visiting,
Lord Dante Risande. Dante is intrigued by many things about
this slave girl, not the least of which is her power to
resist what no other woman has ever resisted; his
extraordinary looks and incredible charm.
After Gianelle's attempt to escape, Bryce Dermott is found
dead and Edgar, Bryce's brother, accuses Gianelle of
murder. Since Dante knows the Dermotts' reputations for
evil and suspects them of being involved somehow in his
sister's death, Dante uses his authority as emissary to
take Gianelle and her friend away until matters can be
investigated. His mission to find his sister's killer and
exonerate Gianelle will take time, but he's determined to
see the tasks completed. He also hopes that time will prove
to Gianelle that not all men act like depraved animals and
that there can be kindness and gentleness between a man and
a woman. But Gianelle wants no relationship with any man,
especially a man like Dante, who's slowly melting her heart
and winning her love.
Set in 1071 England, this medieval romance will touch the
hearts of those partial to historicals of this period. The
heroine has the perfect motivation to be wary of the hero,
yet little by little her defenses are broken. The hero has
all the characteristics necessary, including patience, to
sweep the heroine off her feet and enjoy the chase.
Attention to detail, story pacing and perfect rhythmic
writing style make this a great second book for a new
author who's undoubtedly destined for continued success.
EVERY WOMAN’S DESIRE
Norman lord Dante Risande never met a woman he couldn’t
seduce...until a lovely slave named Gianelle refuses his bed
and piques his interest. So when she’s accused of murder, he
can’t sit idly by. As the King’s right hand, it’s his duty
to investigate. But in order to save her, he must buy her.
NO MAN’S POSSESSION
A slave all her life, Gianelle wants nothing to do with men.
Especially this silver-eyed, velvet tongued warrior. What
she wants is her freedom, not to become another of Dante’s
conquests. But as the only suspect in the killing of her
last master, she has no choice except to put her faith in
Dante...a man who questions everything, including her
innocence.
