Blue Honor follows four tightly twined families during the course of the American Civil War. Sometimes yielding their own skirmishes is the only way to see friends and loved ones through the conflict. The only certainty they have is that nothing will be the same when the battles end. Emily Conrad is the bookish daughter of a wealthy Vermont dairy family. Her indulgent father educated her well, and cultivated ambitions thought improper by her urbane mother. It is decided by her that Emily must settle down with longtime friend, and town philanderer, Evan Howell. The outbreak of war offers Emily an escape, but a stranger soon arrives, threatening her plans more than societal conventions ever could. Devoted to the young woman who healed her wounds, Henrietta becomes part of the Conrad family, all the while hoping to see her husband and son again. As an escaped slave, she's lucky to have found peace there, but Evan Howell's return, and the man he brings with him, imperil her new found freedoms. This is a change that could see her locked back in irons, if not executed for what she has done. Evan isn't as bad as his reputation implies. He knows his chum Emily will be the best doctor Vermont has ever seen, and he knows he's not the man to marry her and see that through. With a little manipulation, he convinces his commander, Lieutenant Joseph Maynard, to take leave with him and see the beauty of the North. He just doesn't let on it's not hillsides and streams he's setting the man up for. Joseph has both power and privilege as the son of a Baltimore lawyer, but status can't guarantee him the things he wants in life. His commission in the army is likely to end in death, a sacrifice he was ready to make to aid the end of slavery-that was until he saw Miss Emily Conrad. Torn between duty and desire, Joseph struggles to maintain his waning convictions. War weary, they all march on to duty... Get the full book wherever books are sold - amazon, b

From the author of your favorites like "Favor with the King" and "DUSA," comes the heart pounding, page turning story of Robin Hood (with a twist) Life used to be wonderful in the prosperous kingdom of Enchancia. It was only until a new ruler, King Richard, was brought to the throne that made the kingdom fail. Meet Robyn; a 19 year old free spirit whose life is filled with looting and debauchery: she was raised to rob all her life and has sworn off all royals as evil; what happens when she steals something most valuable from the king? Will a deal with a devil be her only chance to freedom? ____ "You really don't like to share?" I chided. "I am a prince so I always get what I want" he bragged. Once we entered his room he closed the door and turned to inspect my figure. He undressed me with his eyes and walked over to peel the thin red tulle covering my face. I breath nervously as we stand just a breaths apart, our lips barely touching at the surface. "Tell me to kiss you" he whispers desperately, pulling my body into his toned form; his warm hand trails across my exposed back. No words were exchanged as we stood observing each other, as if it was the first time we had met. "And why would I tell you to do a thing like that?" I tease him, impatiently waiting for the chance to tattoo the taste of his lips onto mine. "The eyes are the window to one's soul and yours are screaming for my touch" he murmurs as he grabs my chin, forcing me to stare into his blue eyes. I bit my lip innocently, making sure to tease him again. "Tell me" he growls once more into my neck, as his wet tongue begins to glide down its surface. _____ There will be a love triangle INVOLVED!
