BLURB:
Wherever the tides take you . . .
Guided by the winds of fate, Henry ‘Ric’
Robbins arrives on a hot June day in Port Royal. But the moment he sets foot on
what should be a pirate’s paradise, he’s driven to steal a woman destined for
slavery, survives the worst natural disaster to ever hit the isle of Jamaica,
and answers the call to be captain of the Scarlet Night.
Jocelyn Beauchamp’s life is one of
privilege—until she is rudely thrown into the hands of pirates. Freed from the
chains of her cloistered society, Jocelyn is drawn to her newfound life at
sea—reckless, thrilling, and utterly unpredictable. And the man who saved her
life not once, but twice—why not do it all over again?

Veiled In Blue
by Lynne Connolly
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Historical Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
It is up to the Emperors of
London to protect the throne—without risking their hearts…
Governess Eve Merton would have fallen into
serious trouble on her walk home if a handsome stranger had not stopped to help
her. But when Mr. Vernon gives her a lift on his horse, he makes no secret of
his attraction. As a well brought-up young lady, Eve does her best not to notice,
but when he sets about courting her, she knows she’s in trouble. For she has a
secret: she is the daughter of a deposed king, which means not only is she
without a dowry, but also that her life is in danger…
Little
does Eve know that Mr. Vernon has secrets of his own. In truth, his name is
Julius, Lord Winterton, and he’s well aware that Eve is the offspring of the
Old Pretender. In order to save his sister, he must convince Eve to wed—though
he wants nothing to do with love. But as the two grow closer and an attempt is
made on Eve’s life, Julius may realize that fighting his heart’s true desire is
a battle most pleasurably surrendered…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT TWO:
He
swung from the saddle and reached for her. The horse was too weary to take
advantage of his lightened load and stood patiently while Mr. Vernon slid his
hands around her waist and lifted her effortlessly to the ground. He did not
release her immediately.
Eve
held the empty basket like a shield, the only protection she had against more
intimate contact.
He
smiled down at her. He was half a foot
taller than her, if not more. “Do you think you can take your own weight, or
should I carry you to your door?”
“Sir!”
Scandalized, she opened her eyes wider while heat rushed to her cheeks. The
notion of all the residents of the green watching while he picked her up was
unthinkable. Or almost. The small part remaining was her romantic self, the
part she ruthlessly crushed. It lingered this time to whisper, What if I let
him? in the dark recesses of her mind.
Showing
nothing but polite gratitude, she thanked him kindly. “I daresay you will be
away in a few days, so I doubt we will meet again. So allow me to thank you
now. I am deeply grateful for your help, sir.”
Now,
looking directly at him, she sensed danger lurking in the clean-cut features.
This man had a wild edge, well concealed but there. Intelligence gleamed in his
eyes, together with the wry humor he had displayed during their journey. For
one reckless moment, she thought he might tighten his hold, force her to drop
the basket, and kiss her. His lips were full, eminently kissable. Not that she
had much experience.

AUTHOR BIO:
I was
born in Leicester, England, and lived in our cobbler’s shop with my parents and
sister. It was an old house and most definitely haunted, but I didn’t find out
until I left that my great uncle had hung himself in the living room! But I
think our ghost might have been older than that. It was built on the site of
the old Roman cemetery, and the land had been constantly inhabited, being in
the centre of town. Then, when the council bought the house from us to build a
road, my grandfather retired and my father went and worked for the Post Office.
My mother was a sample machinist; that is, she worked with designers on the
prototypes (models or samples) of garments. So I was very well dressed! We
bought a relatively modern house in the country, and my mother was blissfully
happy. It’s all very well living in a large old house, but it’s a dreadful task
to keep it clean and warm!
My
mother's side of the family are Romany gypsies, although sadly we haven't any
of the old trailers that are so astonishingly beautiful. I was taught to read
the Tarot cards, and I usually use two packs; the Rider pack for simple readings
and the Crowley Thoth pack for the complex stuff. I've always had an interest
in the paranormal and it's been a delight to be able to put some of this into
my novels.
