"Dreams Made Flesh" by Anne Bishop

Jaenelle is the most powerful Witch ever known, centuries of hopes and dreams made flesh at last. She has forged ties with three of the realm's mightiest Blood warriors: Saetan, the High Lord of Hell, who trains Jaenelle in magic and adopts her as his daughter; Lucivar, the winged Eyrien warlord who becomes her protector; and the near - immortal Daemon, born to be Witch's lover. Jaenelle has assumed her rightful place as Queen of the Darkness and restored order and peace to the realms ... but at a terrible cost.

In Dreams Made Flesh, discover the origin of the mystical Jewels, and experience the forbidden passion between Lucivar and a simple hearth witch. Witness the clash between Saetan and a Priestess that may forever change reality. And learn wether the sacrifice of Jaenelle's magic has destroyed any hope of happiness between her and Daemon.

"The Conqueror" by Judith E. French

It was a night never to be forgotten. A night that would forever change two lives ... and the course of history. For two long years her father's tiny mountain kindom had withstood the conqueror's sweeping forces, but now the barbarians had stormed the milehigh citabel and the women cowered in fear. All but the one called Little Star. Famed as the most beautiful woman in all Persia, Roxanne had the courage of a fierce warrior and the training of a prince of her people. When she learned that slavery was not to be her lot, but a brilliant political alliance, she vowed to await her bridegroom with her snarling leopard at her side and silken seduction at her fingertips. For she was no plaything, but more that a match for any man, even ... Alexander the Great.

"Your Wicked Ways" by Eloisa James

Helene, the Countese Godwin, knows there is nothing more unbearably tedious than a virtuous woman. After all, she's been one for ten long years while her scoundrel of a husband lives with strumpets and causes scandal after scandal. So she decides it's time for a change - she styles her hair in the newest, daring mode, puts on a shokingly transparent gown, and goes to a ball like Cinderella, hoping to find a prince charming to sweep her off her feet ... and into his bed.

But instead of a prince, she finds only her own volatile, infuriatingly handsome ... husband, Rees, the Earl Godwin. They'd eloped to Gretna Green in a fiery passion, but passion can sometimes burn too hot to last.

But now, Rees makes her a brazen offer, and Helene decides to become his wife again ... but not in name only. No, this time she decides to be very, very wicked indeed.
