THE MERMAID OF PENPERRO 4/2001 ISBN: 0505524376 Though her mother had been in the opera, Konstanze had never imagined that singing could land someone in such trouble. The disrepute of the stage was nothing compared to the danger of playing a seductress of the sea - or the reckless abandon she felt while doing so. She had come to Penperro to escape her past, to find careless anonymity among the simple people of Cornwall, and as she did her inhibitions melted away. But the Cornish were less simple than she expected, and the role she was forced to play was harder. For one thing, her siren song was more potent than she'd dreamed. It lured to her not only the agent of the crown she'd been paid to perplex, but the smuggler who'd hired her. And in his strong arms she found everything she'd been missing. Suddenly, Konstanze saw the true peril of her situation - not that of losing her honor, but her heart.

THE BARE TRUTH 3/2007 ISBN: 0843956720 Juliette Garrison was in the habit of speaking her mind—a serious liability for a lady's maid in one of the great houses of London's aristocracy. A young woman in service must know her place, obey the rules, and be a model of discretion. But how could Juliette know her place when she was the result of a torrid affair between a serving girl and the son of a lord? And how to be discreet when a brash young American insisted on pursuing her? Thomas Jameson thought nothing of breaking the rules; in fact he seemed to take pleasure in flaunting society's strictures. Below stairs, behind hedges, in his luxurious bedroom, she learned that passion knows no boundaries, and the most delicious thrill of all is... The Bare Truth. RR@H's Novel Thoughts

JAGUAR EYES 11/1998 ISBN: 0505522845 Nobleman by birth, naturalist by training, and adventurer at heart, Daniel Heywood ventured into the wilds of the Amazon, determined to leave his mark on science. Wounded by Indians shortly into his journey, he was rescued by a beautiful woman with the longest legs he'd ever seen. As she nursed him back to health, Daniel realized he has stumbled upon an undiscovered civilization, a people that would prove his friend Darwin's theory correct. But science could not explain the way his heart skipped a beat when he looked into the captivating beauty's golden-green eyes. Vanessa had never seen a naked man before, but one look at the wounded Englishman's muscular form told her he was something special. Defying the ways of her people, she returned with him to England. But she soon wondered if she was really the object of his affections - or a subject in his experiment. The answer would lie in Daniel's willingness to do as she has done, to leave convention behind for a love as lush and wild as the Amazon jungle.
