This title is offered at a 10% discount. Offer ends midnight CST, May 22nd. [BookStrand Historical Fantasy Romance, HEA]
Even though married life for young Liam and Caitlín O'Neill is just as sensuous as their stormy courtship, both of them still need to learn a whole new language—how to show each other their deepest, most secret passions. Liam finds ingenious ways to teach his still-naive wife about his urgent needs, and she surprises him with her own instruction.
In the midst of their quest of each other, they find themselves on a more deadly search—for the dark secrets of their old enemy Owen Sweeney, confined to an invalid's cart and seemingly just as dangerous as ever. Their search for the truth of the brooding half man leads them back to the history of Ireland's most famous high king, to the deadly vengeance of a jealous woman, and finally to the hills of sacred Tara, where a high king and St. Patrick himself compete for men's hearts and souls.

[BookStrand Cowboy Romantic Suspense, HEA]
Race D'Onofrio had long ago left ranching—an existence of all work and no play. When he must travel to Wyoming to settle his deceased father's affairs, he expects a quick trip with little or no disruption to his exciting Vegas life.
He does not expect to learn his father was murdered. He does not expect the legacy of a ranch and lucrative leases to minerals under the land of his neighbors—leases that, if sold, will make him wealthy.
He does not expect to be beset by disgruntled ranchers or targeted by the mob.
He especially does not expect to fall in love with a debutant, the polar opposite of his ideal woman, or to discover she is spying on him and he has placed her in danger.
How much will he give up? How much can he forgive to have the woman he loves?

In a family torn apart by secrets and intrigue, nothing is quite as it seems. Carey would settle for people remembering her name. Max does, and is nothing like the ogre that Jake made him out to be, but with Rebecca's bloodred talons holding him firmly back, Carey wonders if she'll ever find the uncomplicated love that she seeks. When Carey's possessive ex-boyfriend turns up to claim her, it seems that she and Max will never be able to ride off into the sunset together.
