Cruelly deceived in love, Sir Philip Levington quits London just before Christmas for his new property, Fairhill Park, near Lyme Regis in Dorset. He arrives unannounced-and the last thing he expects to find is a new love.

Madeleine Charlton, daughter of the impoverished previous owner, is trespassing to pick seasonal greenery. She flees after Philip joins her in an imaginary waltz, but the attraction between them is undeniable. He finds her again, a warm friendship ensues and they share a kiss beneath the mistletoe. Then his spiteful former love arrives, determined to win him again.

Madeleine and Philip's happiness rests on the power of a Christmas kiss.

Publisher's Note: This story was previously published elsewhere under the title Under the Kissing Bough and has been revised for Ellora's Cave, giving the kisses the centrality they truly deserve in a Regency romance.

Blush sensuality level: This is a sweet romance (kisses only, no sexual content).

Sabrina is a virgin mermaid with a secret, fleshly passion for Sir Jake Cranwell, the handsome Regency gentleman she has been spying upon from afar. She wants to give herself only to him, heart, soul and body. She dreams of savoring his lips, his caresses…his penetration. No one else will do. She may get her chance when, on the night of the merfolk’s riverside orgy, where Sabrina alone remains pure, she inexplicably finds herself face-to-face with Jake.

His desire matches hers, as his virile body cannot hide, but is he free? Lady Evangeline Bellington, Jake’s cruel former lover, exerts an irresistibly erotic hold upon him—and she will stop at nothing to win him back.

Publisher’s Note: This book began life as a sweet Regency short story, Neptune’s Quizzing Glass, and has been extensively revised, expanded and the bedroom door opened wide for Ellora’s Cave. 

Temple dancer Neferet encounters Egypt’s magnetic new pharaoh, Nikare, and knows that only he can take her virginity. He awakens such sensual and unstoppable desires that she forgets she serves the Great God Amon-Re, and is also soon to marry Nikare’s menacing, ambitious cousin, Sahure. The Great God is only a golden statue, but living god Nikare tempts and allures her. Her body aches for him, her dreams are filled with erotic images of having him inside her. Her lips and tongue long to adore his divine body, and her heart and soul will always be his, no matter what.

But Nikare has a dangerous secret. He worships a heretic god. He wants to believe Neferet is his Beloved. His body yearns for her every hour of every day, and his intense desire betrays common sense. But can he trust the woman he snatched from Prince Sahure, who schemes for the throne of Egypt?
