Rosefire — Sandra Davidson

She risked everything for one night in his arms!

SHE CRAVED HIS CARESSES

Delicately lovely Arianna hated to hide her luxuriant blonde hair under a cap and her lush young body in boy's clothing, but her adopted parents assured her the disguise was necessary, though they wouldn't tell her why. As "Aaron," the falconer's apprentice, Arianna worked hard, never guessing that she was the secret daughter of the imprisoned monarch, Mary Queen of Scots. Then, a handsome nobleman visited the castle and her woman's heart, felt a jolt of passion. Dangerous though it might be, Arianna knew she must reveal her feminine charms, invite Sir Robert's kiss, and feel his strong hands on every curve of her yearning flesh in the fire of love's ultimate embrace... just for one night!

HE CLAIMED HER KISSES

Young Robert Warwick, the future Earl of Everly, could have any woman in Queen Bess's court, but the pleasures of the hunt demanded all his attention... until a golden-haired angel fell from her horse at his feet, almost as if by design! Ever chivalrous, he carried the mysterious minx to his friend's castle, listened to her preposterous tale of escaping from a convent, and turned to leave... but the touch of her soft white hand beckoned him to stay. And when his lips touched hers in a deep, searing kiss, Robert knew he must possess every inch of her glowing beauty, no matter who she was or what stroke of luck had brought her to him. He'd caress her until she writhed in ecstasy, then carry her with him to passion's pinnacle in a night of rapturous loving!
