‘Sweet Jane,’ he said, and gazed into her eyes for a moment, before moving his hand to her cheek and caressing it lightly with the tips of his fingers.
Her breath caught, and she almost swayed towards him as the need to feel his arm about her swept over her, but in an instant she had conquered the foolish desire. She did not know this man well enough to care for him—surely she could not be so inconstant. Only a few weeks ago she had believed that she would never feel love or desire again. And now…? Now she was not sure how she felt.
‘You look beautiful, as always.’
‘You flatter,’ Jane said, and laughed. The look in his eyes was having a disturbing effect on her. She felt young and excited again, like a girl at her first ball. ‘But it is most pleasant…and the evening would not have been the same if you had not come.’
I hope you enjoy this new book. I always love writing my stories of love and romance. This one was particularly fun to do, with a beautiful Indian princess with evil in her heart, and a brave man who rescues an Indian boy from a burning hut.
My stories are always about adventure as well as love, and they make me smile as I sit at my computer. They are pure escapism and are meant to amuse and please—so please read them for a few happy hours.

‘If you do this for me I shall be yours and all that I own will be at your disposal,’ the woman said. Her pale olive-toned skin looked smooth and soft in the candlelight, her black velvet eyes as dark as night, but lit from within by a silver flame. She was a beautiful woman, sure of her power, and she sensed that he wanted her so badly that he could almost taste his need. The perfume she wore was heavy and had the exotic tang of musk and ambergris,
