To keep one sacred flame
Through life, unchilled, unmoved,
To love in wintry age the same
As first in youth we loved,
To feel that we adore
Even to fond excess,
That though the heart would break
with more
It could not live with less.

--Anonymous

Cover: Unwilling Betrayer

"A tale well-savored and not soon forgotten!"
~ Romantic Times


"A historical romance, originally published by Leisure, UNWILLING BETRAYER is a love story, an exciting history lesson, a saga, and it has enough action, intrigue, and sizzle to leave you gasping for breath while you are begging for more. It is marvelous.

This is a big book in many ways. Depicting a time long gone, a culture no longer extant, the author has brought it to glowing life, made the conflict as immediate as today's headlines, all while portraying a love that had to be. The setting is impressive, the characters well-rounded, the battles well-researched, and the plot arresting."


Highly recommended! --Under The Covers Book Reviews

What has become of the steed?
What has become of the warrior?
What has become of the seats of banquet?
Where are the joys of the hall?
O for the bright cup!
O for the mail-clad warrior!
O for the glory of the prince!
How that time has passed away
And grown dark under the cover of night,
As if it had never been.

     From "The Wanderer"
     (anonymous Anglo-Saxon poem)
Cover: Beloved Enchantress

"A must-read for historical romance lovers."
~ CompuServe Romance Reviews


"Romance and Fantasy, what more could we want? BELOVED ENCHANTRESS reads like one of those soft sighs overheard on a warm Spring night.

"A beautiful book that, I for one, will want to keep in my heart and savor, for as long as I am able.

"Actually not so much a fantasy as one to fantasize about, this story is that of the lovely Sunniva Mellby and her journey of discovery to everlasting love."

Ah....
