A Dishonorable Man
Thomas Brisbois of Kelso has only one goal when he arrives at the tournament—to defeat the only knight who ever bested him in battle. If he succeeds, the Scottish king will return to him his lands, his honor and his life. He has little interest in other prizes, and even less when he learns that the lord for whom his rival fights has included a daughter among the spoils at stake in their contest—a lovely daughter with no desire to play the pawn, or to see her father's champion win. She is a distraction, all the more after she explains her own ideas about which knight shall have her, and how and when.

A Desperate Woman
Annora may be a pawn in her father’s plans but she has no intention of letting that happen without a fight of her own. When she sees the frank desire in Thomas’ gaze for her, she makes her own offer—she’ll help him win if he’ll let her go... after he beds her. Her plans go awry when she discovers the truth of the man beneath the armor. The man who had lost everything and struggles to regain his life.

Only the ultimate tournament battle will reveal if she’s made the biggest mistake of her life or if she’s found the answer to all her problems in trusting an outlaw’s honor.

From Harlequin Historical: Your romantic escape to the past.

What if. . . the countless standing stones and stone circles across the old Celtic world had a secret origin and use? What if they were really portals, openings to other worlds, pathways used by beings able to move between the worlds? What if... Eons ago, seven ancient beings found their way into a new, human world and made it their own. They each had a power that corresponded to the seven elements of nature: storm, water, fire, earth, animals, life/death, and war; so they became peaceful gods among the people. But the goddess of fire, Chaela, soon became convinced that her power should overrule that of the other gods', and so she threw all humanity into chaos, raining down destruction and threatening the very existence of everything on earth. Only by banding together did the others defeat her by forcing her from the human world, erecting stone barriers to keep her out. Not underestimating Chaela's desire to return, the other gods selected, marked and trained humans from their own bloodlines to serve as priests, protectors and seers and to ensure that the energy they'd used against Chaela would remain strong enough to keep the human world safe. And thus were born the Warriors of Destiny... Now the year is 1286, when a young woman named Brienne has recently discovered that she can manipulate fire and that she has a curious marking on her arm she can't decipher. On the other side of the village, another young man with simiar and strange markings has been summoned by the King to stop an evil Duke who is rumored to be helping an evil goddess, the goddess of fire. Though his quest seems impossible at best, he stumbles across Brienne at the beginning of the journey--and he might jus thave found everything he's ever needed...

Eons ago, seven ancient deities trapped the goddess of chaos under a ring of stones. But now, in the darkest days of the 13th century, Chaela threatens to escape, leaving the fate of all humanity in the hands of two young lovers. Ran's powers control the seas and thus, she is fated to fight the war against chaos with Soren, whose powers control the skies. But can she fully trust him when he's a man who has betrayed her trust and love before?
