Winning Joanna

The widowed Lady Joanna Leland wants nothing more than to be left in peace. When the king commands her to remarry, she informs him she has other plans. Those plans did not include getting trapped inside her manor during a blizzard—or the near-frozen stranger deposited outside her door, a man who awakens sexual yearnings she thought long dead.

Lord Hugh, the king’s finest battle strategist, has been sent by the king to change Joanna’s mind. As the blizzard roars outside, the temperature inside rises until the attraction between Hugh and Joanna ignites and they succumb to long nights of sensual delight. Tempting her body is only half the battle. He must secure her heart as well. But Hugh’s been keeping a secret that could destroy everything he is fighting for…and winning Joanna is one battle he can’t afford to lose.

Palace of Dreams

In the dream domes of Cereus Prime, visitors can fulfill their deepest fantasies in sessions led by telepathic guides. The dream scenarios of Inari Rau, the Celestial Crystal’s premier guide, are legendary. On her final night as a guide, before she leaves to pursue her own business, she receives a request to lead one last dream. During the session she loses control and is drawn into a fantasy of raw, sexual pleasure with her mysterious client.

Kastel Fane has a mission to complete—give Inari the dream of a lifetime as a farewell gift from her friends. If he succeeds, he’ll receive a hefty reward, the first of many he needs to buy out his contract early. Neither he nor Inari expect the passion that ignites between them, or the new psi talent that is born out of their first encounter, an ability that leads to dangerous consequences for both of them. As they fight for a future together, can Kastel prove he is the man who can finally fulfill all of Inari’s dreams?

Genre(s): Erotic Romance, Sci-Fi / Fantasy Romance
In Palace of Dreams, Kathleen Coddington blends together the prosaic with the fantastical, the mundane with the preternatural. Much as Inari's powers may set her apart, she never came across as anything less than real because of her very realistic worries about her age, her work, and the rest of her life. The rest of the characters were similarly charismatic and believable -- Lysa, Trag, Kastel, and even Bosk
