Trial by Fire

Love and war take center stage as three couples must forge alliances against evil in this dazzling, value-priced collection of fantastical romances. Viking Fire: When Kaireen’s father, Laird Liannon, forces her into an arranged marriage with her sworn enemy, she throws her energy into getting this Viking betrothed banished from her country. As a younger son, Bram has no future or inheritance, so marriage to the laird’s daughter would grant him land and family—but even a marriage of convenience may not be worth the battle scars from such a relentless opponent. But when the blame for a rival laird’s death falls against the Liannons, Kaireen and Bram must find a way to lay aside their differences as an unforeseen darkness sends death snapping at their heels. The Garnet Dagger: As a vampire, Brock has one chance to break the curse that compels him to feed and kill: he must find a witch, pierce her heart, and draw her blood for his cure. Celeste must find a way to elude an ancient, powerful warlock who wants to lay claim to her dormant powers. If he succeeds in devouring her magic, she and the world will die. The two fall in love, never realizing her demise is his cure. Can love triumph over such high stakes? Son of Dragons: Elvin warrior Mirhana scours the land to silence the undead. Her heart has turned as cold as the sword she wields, until Prince Landon seeks her aid. Never has he met a woman like Mirhana, who haunts his dreams as he battles to remain true to his promise to an unseen betrothed. Then a traitor emerges to test Mirhana and Landon, and the only remaining hope is to follow the prophecy and trust their bond is more than a fleeting attraction. Sensuality Level: Sensual
