A DARK GUARDIAN
The first book in the Shield series
Dear Reader,
Have you ever wanted to travel through time with weapons crafted by the Fae themselves? To experience adventure so thrilling and dangerous you don’t know if you will live to see tomorrow? Now my men and I are faced with fighting creatures only thought to live in lengend but which have been brought to Earth by evil bent on annihilating all the realms. That is my life – and I love it.
At least I did until I found myself staring into the angelic, innocent face of Lady Mina of Stone Crest. In all the time I have led the Shields I’ve trusted my instinct to keep us alive, yet now I don’t know what to believe. Everything points to Mina as the evil summoning the creatures, but she proclaims her innocence.
I should be able to see through her lies, if she is indeed lying, but my attraction to her blinds me to even that. The last time I found myself so lured to a woman, it nearly cost me the lives of my men. I cannot allow that to happen again. I won’t allow that to happen again.
Yet every time she looks at me, begging me with those blue-green eyes to believe her, I find myself sinking further under her spell. Her mouth is a temptation mortal men will never know and her love will either bring me the peace I thought I’d never find – or the death I’ve managed, thus far, to avoid.
Hugh the Righteous
A KIND OF MAGIC
The second book in the Shield series
Greetings Dear Reader,
I was born an immortal prince on the realm of Thales. I lived the life of grandeur, revered and respected, but my one true love was fighting. I was given a special gift in my battle abilities and soon became known as Thales’ finest warrior. But all that changed the day my brother died and an evil descended upon my realm. With Thales on the verge of ruin, I bound myself to The Shields to protect the realms from the evil that ravages them. But I have a dark secret that I must atone for. Then and only then can I return to Thales and face my family. My special battle skills and my immortality help to keep my goals in front of me. They have always been clear…
Until Elle.
Elle makes me long for things I cannot have. Her innate goodness makes me want to grasp what she offers with both hands, but I know that we can never have what she seeks. Elle bears a mark that signals her one of a chosen few who were sent to Earth as infants. She and the others who bear the mark must be found and kept hidden from the ancient evil that seeks them, for they hold the key to the evil’s ruination.
The only way to keep Elle safe is to keep her by my side, but can I resist the temptation to take her love?
Roderick of Thales
A DARK SEDUCTION
The third book in the Shield series
Dear Friend,
Most would give all they had to be raised in the Realm of the Fae.
I had no choice.
I was too young to remember anything of my own realm, save for snatches of memories no more than my imagination.
But if it hadn’t been for the Fae who found me wandering between realms after mine was destroyed, I would be dead now.
It was the Fae who raised me and trained me in weaponry and battle skills unill I became a warrior to be feared.
When hat same evil that destroyed my realm threatened Earth and the Fae, I was the first to volunteer for the Shields
With my immortality the only link I have to my past, I take what comfort I can in he arms of women.
I want nothing more than one night with them, one night to forget that I can’t remember my family, one night to take what pleasure I can.
It isn’t until I find Shannon that I begin to think of more than just one night in her arms.
Shannon has been brought back in time from Chicago to 1244 England because the evil knows what she is – one of the Chosen.
Somehow the evil has found the Chosen before the Shields.
His plan is to kill Shannon, but I won’t allow that.
My duty is to protect her at all costs.
I’ve never known fear until now – until Shannon

A FORBIDDEN TEMPTATION
The fourth book in the Shields series
Salute!
As one of the youngest men ever to have the title of general in ancient Rome’s great army, fame and fortune were my bedmates.
I was chosen by the Fae for my mastery of any weapon.
Though the Shields like to claim they are stronger because of my skills, I know I am only alive today because the Fae found me before my demons could put an end to my life.
Adventure and danger have always ruled my life, and I thrive on the thrill of the hunt.
I am loyal to the Shields, willing to give my life to follow Hugh and the others to fulfill their oaths to save the world.
Who would have known following such great men would lead me to Nicole.
She’s everything I’ve ever wanted in a woman and more.
She’s innocent and pure and beautiful of face and spirit.
And she deserves better than me.
Yet, every time I think of her in the arms of another I find I cannot let her go.
For better or worse, Nicole has bound herself to me.
I just pray that the demons loosen their hold before the past catches up with me and repeats itself.
