Her charm and cajolery may fool the unwary. Unscrupulous and cunning, as dauntless as she is resolute, the incomparable "Lady Fan" is as ruthless as the killer she is tracking in...

Ottilia rapidly uncovers a raft of suspects with grudges against the dead man, one of whom is determined to incriminate the "witch." And as foul play runs rampant, Ottilia must wade through the growing hysteria to unravel the tangle and point a finger at the one true menace...

Book Description
The binary stars Ti and Silan are hosts for the Kovalen planetary system. The ruling monarchy of the system employs Royal Security to handle the problems of subversive or militant elements on the other inhabited planets in the system. Their methods are swift and ruthless. Their director, Mr. Detu, controls the specially trained assassins that are at his disposal. One of his agents, Jaan Larin, is among the best he has ever trained. Larin grew up a ́presumed ́ orphan on the streets of Kovalen ́s capital city. His hardened mentality and incredible aptitudes make him an ideal recruit for the work that Detu needs done. Larin, now heavily experienced in the field of covert ́terminations ́ is hand-picked for a mission that is vital to the very existence of the the "Order"; the Kovalen royal family that rules the system. His mission is to return to his homeworld, a place he has no memeory of ever being on, to conduct a search and recovery of stolen tech-manuals for the most dangerous weapon of mass destruction ever developed and used. The implosion warhead device can annihilate a whole planet; reduce it to rubble. A tattoo given to him at birth is his key to infiltrating the society of his homeworld. The planet Damirius is but a frontier planet with its own ideas of independence. The ruling regime wants the matter of the stolen plans to be solved quietly. The only clue that has been found has traced the stolen plans to Damririus. That clue is a woman ́s name: Jaquin. Before setting off on his assignment, Larin ́s street-hewn suspicions lead him to the discovery that he is meant to accomplish his mission, but not live to tell the tale. He is to be the pawn in a cover-up that will ensure the ́quiet solution ́ that the royal family wants. His mind begins to bound from one vision to another in a manner he can ́t understand. All he can do is cling to the realization that he must survive. The visions he sees are that of a woman. A most beautiful and seductive woman that torments his very soul. The Damirian mysticism begins its work and Larin is driven by his passions in what turns into the self-realizations and discovery of who he really is; the kidnapped heir to the throne of Damirius. Spiritually bound together by the unexplainable phenomenon called the ́wait ́, he and Jaquin are pulled together in an alliance to foil the plans of the Order. Hunted and haunted, Larin is first driven away from Jaquin into the frozen wild of Damirius. The struggle that ensues brings them together and sets a new course for the history of the entire Kovalen solar system.

Pages : 1237
Book Description
Three romances in one from the USA Today–bestselling author of The Reluctant Highlander, filled with the rebellious passion of Scotland’s restless border. Set on the turbulent border between Scotland and England in the sixteenth century, these meticulously researched novels offer enthralling love stories set against a backdrop of historical conflict. In Border Bride, Mary Kate MacPherson, a proud Highland beauty wages a battle against arrogant borderer Sir Adam Douglas. Borderer men may consider their wives possessions, but Mary Kate intends to show the seductive knave her father promised her to that a Highland lass is no man’s furniture. In Border Fire, highwayman Rabbie Redcloak has caused nothing but trouble for the English with his raiding and fighting. But when he’s captured, Janet Graham is determined to prevent the hanging of the silver-tongued Rabbie before Truce Day. And her decision has nothing to do with the way her body heats just at the thought of him . . . And in Border Storm, Lady Laurie Halliot, the rebellious daughter of a Scottish march warden, knows what marriage is about: money, power, and little else. When her runaway sister is accused of murdering an English soldier, however, Laurie offers herself as a hostage until the accused is found. And to preserve Laurie’s reputation while in captivity, she agrees to a handfast wedding to the devastatingly handsome, yet equally reluctant, groom, Sir Hugh Graham.
