mended. Their liaison
doesn't break the same
taboos as The Reader but
their love is 'forbidden'
not only in the sense
that it's adulterous,
but also because she
always takes her baby son
along in his pram, as a
cover and protection.
Both the German woman and
the Jew have been damaged
by WWII; she more
traumatically and
personally than he -
watching her mother's
rape and branding by
Russian soldiers, being
raped herself, and then
finding out after the war
that her gentle scientist
father was implicated in
Nazi experiments with
drug trials. Their
stories unfolds in Paris
at the height of the
Algerian war in the
1950s, bringing the
madness of war back into
the present. The
flute-mender, left-wing
and committed, is
involved on the fringes
of the Algerian
liberation movement in
Paris. The ending is
tragic and devastating,
when the husband
discovers the affair.

Chloe Gresham wasn't
expecting a warm welcome
- after all, her new
guardian was a total
stranger. But when Sir
Hugo Lattimer strode into
Denholm Manor after a
night of carousing and
discovered he'd been
saddled with an
irrepressible and
beautiful young ward,
the handsome bachelor
made it perfectly clear
he wanted nothing to do
with her. Chloe,
however, had ideas of
her own...
Driven
by dark memories to a
tormenting despair, the
last thing Hugo needed
was an irritating,
infuriating,
unpredictable schoolgirl,
especially one whose
stunning beauty and
natural sensuality
challenged his
self-control. Yet he owed
it to the girl to turn
her into a proper lady
and marry her off to a
wealthy young lord in
London. And by God he
would do it...if only he
could resist the
temptation to bring her
to his bed...and if only
he could keep her safe
from those who would use
an innocent young woman
for shameless
revenge.

Felix an engaging scamp.
And, most intriguing of
all, their strong-minded
sister Frederica, who
seems more concerned with
her family's welfare than
his own distinguished
attentions.. .

Beautiful but prim
history professor
Roseleen White cherished
her new precious
possession - a
thousand-year old
Scandinavian sword.
Little did she realise
that a careless caress of
the sword's mighty hilt
would conjure up no less
a figure than the mighty
Thorn Blooddrinker, a
Viking warrior who was to
fulfil Roseleen's every
desire.
Thorn had
been the prisoner of a
centuries-old curse, and
now finds himself
enslaved to a woman from
an age very different
from his own. Yet
Roseleen is the true
prisoner, held willing
captive by a handsome
barbarian who sweeps her
back to the ancient past
on a journey of sensual
discovery. Only by
banishing him from her
life forever can Roseleen
free Thorn from his
enslavement - forcing her
to make a devastating
choice that will either
emperil their future or
preserve a love which
will remain powerful...
until forever.
