Book description
A Legend Arises' by Brynn Paulin Legend has it that long, long ago, a
great knight fell in love with a fair maiden... Emma knew her entire
life that she'd eventually marry Ailig and be the lady in his castle.
But she had dreams of freedom which weren't befitting to a lady of her
standing. Still she yearned for Ailig and the unknown of his arms. As
Ailig's wife she learns her true freedom is in his arms and bondage is
the emptiness she feels when they're parted. Instead of wishing for
freedom, she fears for her love's safety while he does his king's
bidding. Though she endeavours to hide her apprehension, Ailig knows of
his bride's anxieties yet duty to king and country compels him. Before
answering each call to service, he promises to safely return. But there
are some perils that even a knight can't overcome... 'Gaining Hope' by
Lacey Thorn Hope has spent the last three years searching for her older
sister and now she's finally found her. And not a moment to soon. Her
twenty-first birthday is just a week away and with it her marriage to a
man old enough to be her father. She is desperate to escape and when
fate presents her with the chance she grabs it. Guilt at leaving her
younger sisters behind eats at her until the night she runs into the man
of her dreams. He's tall, dark and handsome with the most sensual Irish
brogue she's ever heard. Shawn O'Grady had no idea what fate awaited
him. First he'd discovered the bottle with the note and the necklace,
followed almost instantly by the blonde beauty with fear in her eyes.
She called to everything that was inside him until he was the one with
fear. Fear of falling in love, fear of letting go. Fear of gaining hope.
'Moonlit Magic' by Bronwyn Green Brought back to Ireland by her job,
American Beckett Matthews jumps at the chance to study an artefact that
recently washed ashore on an Irish beach. She's thrilled to have the
opportunity to explore the history of the necklace. She's far less
enthused to explore her personal history with the man who found the
treasure-her first love. Kieran Brennan has waited five years for
Beckett to finally return to Ireland. When he found the necklace, he
knew it was more than a historical find-it was the key to reclaiming the
only woman he ever loved. Under a curse from the Faery King, he couldn't
follow her when she'd fled to her home in the States years ago, but now
in his arms he'll help her face her fears and return to him.
Unfortunately, he isn't the only one after Beckett. Denied his tribute
when she fled, Aodhan the Faery King wants to claim her for his own.
'Healing Doctor Ryan' by Carol Lynne Oncologist, Brannigan Ryan is used
to people falling for him. With his black-Irish good-looks and easy
bedside manner he's a favourite among patients. Surrounded by death on a
daily basis, however, Bran has learned to harden his heart quite
effectively. That is until he starts treating Ian Fitzgerald. Ian's warm
smile and determination easily punch holes in Bran's barriers. Taking a
step back to rebuild the walls around his heart, Bran takes off to his
weekend house in Newport. He can't surrender to Ian and he can't ever
get involved with a patient. When a treasure and a message in a bottle
wash ashore on his beach, he's forced to re-examining his determination
and wonder if he can't open himself to love after all. _x000D_ A Legend
Accomplished' by Brynn Paulin Writer, Emily Harteger has been at loose
ends her entire life, never quite fitting in anywhere she's gone. She
finds her place in the past amongst the knights and maidens she creates
on paper. When a story idea comes to her in a dream, she's compelled to
travel to England on a trip she can neither afford nor justify. She's
drawn to the shores of Northern England where vivid pictures fill her
head and she pens a lurid tale of Sir Alexander and his love Emagarde.
When she meets Alec Woods, the very embodiment of the man she's
visualised in her dreams, she's drawn under his spell. Her visions of
the knight and his love grow stronger and she wonders if the attraction
she feels for Alec is real or the product of her wishful dreaming. Then
they find a bottle containing a necklace and note identical to one she's
written about in her book... Is this fantasy or something else entirely?
Lacey Thorn spends her days in small town Indiana the proud mother of
three. When she is not busy with one of them she can be found typing
away on her computer keyboard or burying her nose in a good book. Like
every woman she knows just how chaotic life can be and how appealing
that great escape can look. So toss aside the stress and tension of the
never ending to do list. For now sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride
with Lacey. It's your world…unlaced. When it comes to books and movies,
Brynn Paulin has one rule: there must be a happy ending. After that one
requirement, anything else goes. And it just might in any of her books.
Brynn lives in Michigan with her husband and two children, who love her
despite her occasional threats to smite them. They humour her and let
her think she's a goddess...as long as she provides homemade chocolate
chip cookies on a regular basis. Brynn is president of her local chapter
of Romance Writers of America and also hosts a weekly writing critique
group. She's conducted workshops at several writers' conferences around
the country as she enjoys mentoring and meeting new people. According to
Brynn, her writing success can be attributed to 70's music, her local
road construction crews, a trusty notebook, and of course, her husband
(and willing research subject), AKA Mr. Inspiration. I live in Michigan
with my wonderful husband, two amazing sons and seven somewhat psychotic
cats. When not tormenting my characters, I can usually be found helping
with reading, writing and art projects in my sons' classrooms as well as
providing child care and tutoring for several daycare children. Besides
writing, I also enjoy reading, knitting, sewing, cross stitching,
pottery, drawing, jewellery making - basically anything that helps me
avoid cooking and cleaning. An avid reader for years, one day Carol
Lynne decided to write her own brand of erotic romance. Carol juggles
between being a full-time mother and a full-time writer. These days, you
can usually find Carol either cleaning jelly out of the carpet or
nestled in her favourite chair writing steamy love scenes.
