Summoned for seduction....
Hailing from a remote corner of the Highlands, Helene MacKail is well aware that a rare journey to celebrate the holidays at Domhnaill Keep means her father is seeking a marriage alliance for his only child. As much as she tries to be dutiful, she cannot submit to the powerful warrior her family has in mind -- a Scot said to rule by brute force.
Highlander Léod mac Ruadhán will not be refused by a mere maid, no matter her legendary beauty. So when Helene's wishes threaten to overrule her father's wisdom, Léod courts her in secret --- never allowing her to know his identity. He thinks to seduce her body if only to show her how wrong she was to deny him. But in the dark intimacy of the secret meetings, he is the one seduced... body and soul.
*This volume contains six short medieval romance stories, beginning with Summoned for Seduction. These sizzling stories of medieval ladies and the Highlanders, Vikings, and Saxon knights who court them, were previously published individually by Harlequin. This collection is the first time all six have been available together.
Four-time RITA finalist Joanne Rock has never met a romance sub-genre she didn't like. The USA Today bestselling author of over eighty books enjoys writing a wide range of stories, most recently focusing on sexy contemporaries and small-town family sagas. An optimist by nature and perpetual seeker of silver linings, Joanne finds romance fits her life outlook perfectly---love is worth fighting for. A frequent speaker at regional and national writing conferences she enjoys giving back to the writing community that nurtured and inspired her early career. She has a Masters degree in Literature from the University of Louisville but credits her fiction writing skills to her intensive study with friend and fellow author Catherine Mann. When she's not writing, Joanne enjoys travel to gather new ideas.
