Gianelle wants nothing more than to be free. Born a slave,
she dreams of the day when she'll be her own master. On
the night she attempts her escape nothing goes right for
her. First the king's emissary, Lord Dante Risande,
discovers her as she tries to make her way from the keep
and then it's found that her master has died and she's
accused of murdering him. Instead of becoming victim to
her accuser though, Gia is saved when Dante buys her.
Dante Risande is a highly skilled rogue and has yet to meet
a woman who did not desire him. Gianelle sparks his
interest when she becomes the first to refuse him. When
Gia is accused of murdering her master, as the king's man,
it's Dante's duty to investigate. Suspecting her innocence
but knowing if he leaves her in the home of her late master
any manner of horrible things will befall her, Dante buys
Gia in order to protect her and also to give himself time
to discover the murderer.
Dante's not only out to discover who's behind the murder of
Lord Bryce Dermott, he's also working on finding proof that
Dermott and his brother are the men responsible for
murdering his sister. As suspected rebels, if he could
find proof against them, he could not only avenge his
sister and protect the king, he can also keep Gia from
falling victim to Lord Dermott's brother, Edgar. If only
Gianelle would learn to trust him. But how does a slave
learn to trust a man who doesn't wholly believe in her
innocence?
LORD OF TEMPTATION, the follow up to Paula Quinn's debut
novel LORD OF DESIRE, is going to cement Ms. Quinn's place
on the list of to be read historical writers. You'll be
mesmerized by her ability to create a setting that seems so
real you can picture yourself being there. If you haven't
checked out this new author yet, run to your nearest book
store and pick up her books. You won't be disappointed.
Coming up next in December, look for the next installment
into this delightful series with LORD OF SEDUCTION, which
will feature Dante's sister, Tanon.
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.
