Ex-con Adam Stone isn't looking for love either; but how ironic is it that the first woman to catch his eye is a police chief? Yet wishing for things that can never be is foolish. Nevertheless, when Lexie enlists Adam's help to keep a young man from falling into a life of crime, sparks begin to fly. As they work together, it soon becomes apparent that God may have a different and better future planned for them than either could imagine.

Finally live up to the legacy handed down to him, beginning with King Alfred the First, and embodied in his own father, King Alfred the Second.   

But revenge is a dish best served cold - or at least lukewarm - and his uncle's revenge comes just two days later when a press release announces Benjamin's engagement.  

To a modern-day scullery maid.   

Katrin Jonsson took over her mother's debt to the Eyjanian royal family as soon as she turned 18. Five years down. Only 10 - or more - to go.  

Until the king offers her a way out.  

Marry him, in name only, for a year, then disappear. Her indenture will be paid off - and, more importantly, her mother and brother will be taken care of for life.   

The wedding won't change anything about her life because no one will know the truth of their arrangement.  

A disconcerting incident softens Katrin's heart toward the usually impassive king. But, even as she begins to fall for the man he could become, she wonders if she'll ever be more than The Indentured Queen?

When his uncle tries to threaten King Edward, the other king promises to invoke the Treaty of 1702 - whatever that is.

Her sanctuary on her family's beach is broken one day when a tired windsurfer takes refuge in her cove - and works his way into her heart.

But it's just a summer fling, isn't it? After all, Jordan will be returning to Canada before long, won't he? When pictures of the two of them, and what looks like an engagement ring, appear in the tabloids, they have to deal with fallout - and the beginnings of a real relationship.  

Secrets kept become hearts broken as they try to discover if Jordan really has the heart of a prince.

Susan May Warren

Eden Christiansen never imagined her role as her younger brother Owen's cheerleader would keep her on the sidelines of her own life. Sure, it feels good to be needed, but looking after the reckless N H L rookie leaves little time for Eden to focus on her own career. She dreamed of making a name for herself as a reporter, but is stuck writing obits - and starting to fear that she doesn't have the chops to land a major story. If only someone would step up to mentor Owen. . . but she knows better than to expect help from team veteran and bad-boy enforcer Jace Jacobsen.

And the guilt-trip he's getting from Eden Christiansen isn't making things any easier. But when Owen's carelessness leads to a career-threatening injury and Eden stumbles upon a story that could be her big break, she and Jace are thrown together. . . and begin to wonder if they belong on the same team after all.
