Book Description
Seducing the Captain It would be unwise to mistake me for an innocent debutante—for years I have graced the smoky gloom of many a billiards club and honed my skills at my father's side. But now he has a new protégé—Captain Greer Barrington—and while my father would see me attract the attentions of an eligible lord I, Mercedes Lockhart, have other ambitions.… Even if that means seducing the captain to earn back my father's favor! I know I must avoid falling for Greer's charming smile…but his sensual kisses could be worth the risk.…

Book Description
Clodagh Finn has travelled throughout Europe to piece together the story of this remarkable, unknown Irish woman, meeting many of those children Mary Elmes saved. Here, in a book packed with courage, heroism, adventure and tragedy, her story is finally remembered. The children called her 'Miss Mary', and they remember her kindness still. She gave them food and shelter and later risked her life to help them escape the convoys bound for Auschwitz. Turning her back on a brilliant academic career, Mary Elmes ventured into a war zone to help children in the Spanish Civil War. In 1939, she fled Franco's forces but continued to work with refugees in France when the Second World War broke out. In 1942, when it became evident that Jews were being deported to their deaths, she smuggled children to safety in the boot of her car. She was arrested and imprisoned by the Gestapo, but went straight back to work after her release. When the war was over, Mary married and settled down, never speaking about what she had done. Her story was forgotten. In A Time to Risk All her remarkable story is finally remembered as it should be. 'A compelling portrait of an unsung Irish heroine of two wars' Madeleine Keane, Literary Editor, Sunday Independent 'Brings to light the life of Mary Elmes, showing a remarkable, independent and courageous woman whose compassion knew no borders.'

Book Description
Lady Azalais, daughter of a dead traitor whose lands are forfeit, whose mother is forced by King Henry II to wed the victorious and vicious Sir Hugo du Champ, is sent, in disguise, along with three falcons, first to her cousin in Parthenay, then to the court of Queen Eleanor in Poitiers. The man chosen by her mother to take the falcons and Azalais is the troubadour Sir Gervais du Quercy, notorious throughout the Limousin, one of the many landless younger sons of the Occitan, who must live by his skills with sword and song. Azalais is irresistibly attracted to him and he too finds himself falling in love, but with Azalais’s beautiful cousin Argentine. Wound together first at the court at Poitiers in a life of love, intrigue, and tournaments of arms and poetry, entangled by desire then separated by a war of rebellion, can true love triumph or will all be destroyed in Love’s Pure Flame?
