During an age of chivalry they were sweethearts, planning a future together in England.
Headstrong and proud, Catherine Sudfield remembers everything about Stefan Boswell. And she loved him in spite of his poverty and lack of nobility. The restless Gypsy rogue’s powerful good looks and promises of love were more than enough to satisfy her youthful dreams.
But then Stefan left without a word, and Catherine’s uncle bargained her off to a brothel.
Sometimes, bonds between a man and a woman, however young, are meant to last a lifetime. But will it take more than a dose of Gypsy magic to chase away the doubts between two guarded lovers?

Beverley Oakley
She was determined to secure the succession, he was in it for the pleasure. Falling in love was not part of the arrangement.
When dashing twenty-five-year-old Stephen Cranbourne arrives at the estate he will one day inherit, it’s expected he will make a match with his beautiful second cousin, Araminta.
But while proud, fieryAraminta and her shy, plain sister, Hetty, parade their very different charms before him, it’s their mother, Sybil, a lonely
and discarded wife, who evokes first his sympathy and then stokes his lustful fires.
As Stephen introduces Sybil to every pleasure she’s been deprived of, duty and passion become a deep and mutual love. But with the unexpected arrival of a contender to the estate, Sybil realises that what she’s set in motion to save the family might have tragic consequences.
Her Gilded Prison is Book 1 in the Daughters of Sin series, a Regency-set ‘Dynasty’ that follows the sibling rivalry between Viscount Partington’s two nobly-born and his illegitimate daughters as they compete for love during a London Season. Her Gilded Prison can, however, be read as a stand-alone.

hooked.Jacquie grew up, got married, raised a family and left her writing

a number of wonderful years before deciding to live her dream of becoming an author.Jacquie’s first book, Tidal Falls, a romantic suspense novel

He’s trying to save the world one soul at a time in a deadly game against his arch
enemy Devina. If you haven’t tried them yet, you should. Awesome series.What’s your favorite hashtag
to watch on Twitter?That’s easy, #1lineWed @KissOfDeath There’s a different topic
each Wednesday where you’re welcome to post a line from a WIP. No buy links.Describe the perfect vacation.I’m living it. We recently moved to Victoria, Vancouver Island,
Canada. It’s amazing. Ocean, mountains, ancient Cedars, friendly people, and a relaxed
lifestyle, it doesn’t get much better.When you read for pleasure,
what kind of books do you choose?I love romance of any kind. My favorites are military style romantic
suspense.About the Book
