After brooding Keeran MacKay saves Emily Wentworth Collins from a storm-tossed ship: he offers her shelter in his secluded castle. But when a savage kiss reveals Keeran's true nature, Emily realizes that yielding to Keeran's untamed desire may change her own life... forever. ***Stranger In The Night*** - Sara Blayne. Georgiana Thornberry hopes to unearth ancient treasure while exploring the moldering ruins of her ancestral home. Instead she encounters Julius Lathrop. Does the enigmatic - and disturbingly attractive - stranger hold the key to a family legend? Or something far more sinister? ***The Awakening*** - Kate Huntington. Orphaned Thalia Layton is stricken to hear that her beloved, eccentric Aunt Cordelia has taken ill. But upon her arrival at Cordelia's remote estate, Thalia discovers that her aunt has harboured dangerous secrets - and that Thalia's own attraction to Adrian Lucerne, Cordelia's mysterious - and oddly nocturnal - companion, may prove to be a sensual temptation that will cost her life...
