Once winsome and full of reckless dreams, Magdalena the Tailor has learned the danger of hope. Now she's a pragmatic merchant, barely scraping by, and she never dreams at all. Until one dark night, when a mysterious knight saves her, and the dreams of her youth come rushing back. Her dark eyed-savior is bold, charming and unafraid, and she thinks she's finally found the impossible dream: a good man. HE'S GOING TO USE HER... But Irishman Tadhg O'Malley is not a good man. He's an outlawed warrior with a single mission: escape with the valuable dagger of King Richard before a brutal nobleman hunts him down. Trapped and almost cornered, his plan is simple: plant his contraband on the innocent merchant with the long hair and complicated eyes. Then abduct her, and use her as camouflage to escape. Igniting a raging passion is not part of the plan. Neither is falling in love. ...CAN LOVE GIVE THEM A SECOND CHANCE AT EVERYTHING? Magdalena knows she should be horrified, furious, and terrified, but she feels alive for the first time in her life, her heart and body awakened by this adventurous, complicated man and his mysterious mission. Swept up into a thrilling chase across France and England, their explosive passion forges a connection that stuns them both, and melts the icy wall around Tadhg's war-torn heart, putting his mission, and his life, in peril. And in the end, when the brutal hunters finally close in, Magdalena must decide if she's willing to risk everything for the savior-outlaw who's given her the most dubious gift of all: hope. *Novella originally appeared in the anthology, Captured by a Celtic Warrior.

A beautiful silk merchant and a dashing con man join forces in the second scorching medieval romance from Kris Kennedy. Irishman Kier has a history of staggering successes and one truly awful failure. For years he served as the 'Piper,' enticing wealthy, unscrupulous men into dealings with other wealthy, unscrupulous men. It was a highly lucrative way of life for a man without a conscience, and he was very, very good. But now, he's on a mission of revenge, and the men who once betrayed him are about to pay. Everything has been put in place, every move scripted in advance, from how he'll lure them, to how he'll hammer the last nail into their coffins. He's planned for everything. Except the appearance of the woman who can bring the whole thing crashing down around him. *** Sophia Darnly, daughter of the hanged Judge Darnly, wants the same thing as Kier: the Darnly ledger. Rumored to contain details of the foulest deeds of the richest men in England, it has the potential for extortion on a very grand scale. Kier needs the ledger. So does Sophia. Neither one is backing down. It doesn't help that they once were in love. *** They forge an unwilling alliance. Posing as a wealthy widow and her factor, the duo sets a trap. But the coals of their rekindled passion burn hotter than either of them could have imagined. And when they discover they, too, are the targets of a deadly deception, the fate of their love, and of England itself, lies in the balance. less
