Mistress of Mellyn
Mount Mellyn stood as proud and magnificent as Martha Leigh had envisioned. As she approached the sprawling mansion of her new employer Connan TreMellyn towering above the cliffs of Cornwall, an odd chill of apprehension overcame her.

TreMellyn's young daugher, Alvean, proved as spoiled and difficult as the three governesses before Martha had discovered. But it was the girl's father whose cool, arrogant demeanor unleashed unfimiliar sensations and turmoil--even as whispers of past tragedy and present danger begin to insinuate themselves into Martha's life.

Powerless against her growing desire for the enigmatic Connan, she is drawn deeper into family secrets--as passion overpowers reason, sending her head and heart spinning. But though evil lurks in the shadows, so does love--and the freedom to find a golden promise forever.

On the Night on the Seventh Moon
On the night of the Seventh Moon, according to ancient Black Forest legend, Loke, the God of Mischief, is abroad in the world. It is a night for festive celebration, a night for singing and dancing, and a night for love. 

On the night of the Seventh Moon, Helena Trant, a young Englishwoman visiting the land of her mother's birth, found the fulfillment of her fondest dreams- and a tragic nightmare that would haunt her life until she returned once more to this land of mountain-top castles, mist-shrouded forests and enchanting legends. Helena Trant's quest leads her into a web of jealousies and intrigue, unexpected discoveries and unknown dangers.

Kirkland Revels
Kirkland Revels loomed high above the wild and eerie Yorkshire moors like a brooding stone fortress. To some there was an atmosphere of evil about the place, but to innocent young bride Catherine Rockwell, the mansion seemed magnificently romantic. She did not know then of the terrible secrets imprisoned behind its massive walls.
