Sir Drogo LaForce has spent a lifetime chasing the family honor and wealth denied him by his bastard birth. A clever scheme to uncloak a traitor against the Crown finally promises to win him everything he desires…Lady Isabel has been in hiding ever since an evil Norman lord killed her father and usurped her English lands. But her plot to avenge her father and free her people is threatened when a mysterious Norman knight abducts her with plans to use her for espionage. Drogo’s fascinating captive is nothing like he anticipated. Outspoken but innocent, Isabel reluctantly submits to Drogo’s tutoring in the spymaster’s craft, as well as the art of making love. But their potent attraction nearly leads to disaster. In the end they must decide between their dueling appetites for riches and revenge…or love.

EXCERPT #3
She moved her hand to the pink
bow between her breasts, the floppy knot that tied the neckline of her chemise.
Hesitation seized her.
Drogo LaForce was waiting. He was
judging. He was challenging her to go through with this.
Well, if he had thrown the glove
down, then she would rise to his dare. He still had no idea with whom he was
dealing. There was nothing for her to lose, only knowledge and expertise to
gain, and she hadn’t survived this long by balking at difficulty.
Stercian and Leofric had kept her
isolated from men, protected from those who would harm her, but this Norman
knight would teach her new skills to get her through the next phase of her
life. She and Phoebe could not live forever in the hermit’s cave.
Taking the end of the ribbon
between her thumb and index finger, she tugged.
LaForce bolted upright in his
chair, erect and alert like a stag scenting a hind in the woods. Had she
surprised him? How—
Before she had time to finish the
thought, he surged to his feet and eliminated the few paces between them. One
arm he wrapped about her, his other hand landing on the opening of her chemise
between her breasts. Where he touched flesh, she could feel the soft leather of
his glove and the warmth of his life force beneath.
“Let me show you,” he muttered
from above her, his lips in her hair.
He bent his head to touch his
mouth to hers. That was it, at first. Just a touch, and then she opened for
him. Remembering what he’d instructed earlier, she used her own tongue to
carefully investigate his. With a small moan of pleasure, she let him know she
tasted him.
He answered with his own moan.
Feigned, or forced against his will, she couldn’t say, but she wanted to
believe he was losing himself the same way she was.
One hand supported her from
behind, his fingers splayed at her back. His other hand he shifted to cup her
breast.
Then he did something unexpected.
Ever since the morning in bed
when he’d had his mouth on her body, she’d dreamed of him touching her, kissing
her, everywhere. But especially there.

ROGUES OF ROUEN SERIES!
A maiden's duty becomes a woman's desire...
Comte Gregoire FitzHenri, the new Earl of Shyleburgh, is known for his prowess as one of the Norman conqueror's most favored warriors...but not for his romantic sensibility or his command of the English language. Gregoire looks forward to his imminent marriage with his seneschal's beautiful daughter, his longtime betrothed. But as a rough-hewn soldier, he wishes to enchant the elegant lady before taking their wedding vows-which means an interpreter...and much-needed lessons in courtly love.
The clever Bridget of Shyleburgh has been secretly in love with Gregoire since his visit as a dashing young warrior-when he was promised in marriage to her sister. But when he returns five years later as their new earl, Bridget is tasked with translating for him-including his love letters and somewhat awkward attempts to woo her sister. Mortified at first, Bridget soon finds herself completely charmed by his whispers of love and desire. She never expected such tenderness...or such wicked temptation... from a man like him. Gregoire's heated missives tempt a fair maiden to stray down a path filled with forbidden pleasures.
But his words are meant for another... aren't they?
