  A LADY’S CHOICE

  Frustrated by the outrageous demand that she choose a husband or have one chosen for her, Mackenna Hughes blindfolds herself and vows to wed the first man she touches in the circle of eager suitors that surrounds her. But as she swirls among the village merrymakers, Mackenna suddenly crashes into a towering rocklike body… and looks up into the dark penetrating eyes of a total stranger!

  “You find my company less pleasing than Walter’s? Why? Do I crush you?”

  “No, milord.” Mackenna sighed. She’d only meant that Walter wasn’t such a huge presence in her life.

  “Do I block the sunlight from your sky?” Montclaire opened arms that encompassed the world, and knocked over a candlestick.

  “Not often, milord.” Mackenna pinched off the flame before it could set fire to the stack of parchment.

  “Have I gone to fat since becoming the lord of Fellhaven?”

  “Oh, no, milord, I’ve not seen a dram of fat anywhere on you.” She stumbled over the memory of a huge, naked warrior lowering himself into a steaming tub of water.

  “Must I travel on my knees to gain your favor?”

  Puzzled by the meaning of the question, she paused and stared up at all that bottled bluster. “Do you seek my favor, milord?”

  “Do I—?” He drew himself upright, huffed then bellowed, “Hell, no!”

  A LORD’S CHALLENGE

  Lord Thomas Montclaire has been sent by King Edward to take over Mackenna’s village and a long abandoned castle. Now he lays claim to the reckless, scarlet-haired rebel who blindly made her choice, yet denies his right to either her village or herself. Her brazen courage amazes him, but her stubborn pride and fiery beauty stir a storm in his blood, and he vows he will wed her, tame her, and claim her wild, rebellious heart as she claimed his.
