If Her Desire For Revenge Doesn’t Backfire...
Diana Dearborn knows all about romance, at least in the books she writes. But passion eludes her in real life—until she’s offered the chance to travel back in time to Camelot. The world of King Arthur and Guinevere is nothing like she pictured, neither is the knight she encounters on her return to San Francisco: Gawain, the hero of her current project. He’s complicated, mysterious, and sexier than anything her imagination could conjure. And he’s been waiting for her...
Now, joined together in a desperate race, Diana and Gawain must prevent an ancient, evil force from wreaking mayhem in the all-too-real present. Diana must learn to trust Gawain—even while she encounters secrets about her own past. But even if their mission succeeds, does Diana’s destiny lie with this man from another time—and will their love alter history forever? more

An expert in Leonardo da Vinci's works, Lucy Rossano recognizes
the centuries-old time machine da Vinci said he built the moment she sees it in
a Stanford lab. Fascinated in spite of the danger, she uses her knowledge to go
back in time-landing in the middle of a fierce battle in tenth-century Britain.
Panicked, she escapes to modern-day San Francisco, bringing something back with
her: a seductive, fiercely intelligent Viking named Galen. The
presence of this enigmatic, devastatingly sexy stranger is just one of the new
complications in Lucy's life. There are others who want to harness the time machine's
power for treacherous ends, and they need Lucy to do it. Galen becomes first her
protector, then the lover she's always dreamed of. But danger is drawing closer
and time is running out. For Galen and Lucy, it's now…or forever. more

Chapter One Order
at Barnes & Noble | | It
was the silver the Saxons would pay to keep the dreaded Viking marauders from
their shores. It was the price a half-Irish beauty would pay to keep the murderer
of her father and mother at bay, to keep the powerful magic of her forebears from
overwhelming her, to keep the stirrings of her womanhood in check. It was all
that one mighty Viking would give to remain to a man, to be whole, to retain the
respect of the jarls and the might of his sword arm. It was DANEGELD. In England's
Dark Ages, sometimes it was all that stood between what a person was and what
he should be. And it was the only thing in the way of true love. more

The Companion
Welcome to the
world of The Companion. Here you will find
a complete guide to Vampirism as I have re-imagined it. You’ll be able to access
definitions, a description
of Vampire society, biographies of its principal
figures, a guide to the “true” nature of vampires
and the myths about them as I tell it in the
series of books I’ve devoted to The Companion.
First, you
must know that underlying all my vampire stories is the concept
of vampirism as a disease. I first thought about it in that way back when
the horrors of HIV were first becoming generally known. People who had contracted
the disease were shunned. The fear of those infected was irrational and almost
frightening in its intensity. Its victims were blamed for their disease as though
they were evil. Hmmm, I thought, isn’t that just what happens to vampires? So,
my vampires have a disease they cannot help. Their blood is infected with a parasite
they call The Companion which gives them…unusual properties.
They are feared as evil. But they are just humans adapting as humans do, to very
trying circumstances. Those circumstances can imperil the soul, yes, but they
can also bring a wonderful sense of fulfillment. The blood is the life and it
can set you free. To find out more about my particular brand
of vampirism, click on the links above and go where your curiosity takes you.
But remember, you proceed at your own risk. In
what order should I read the Companion Series Vampire novels? |
