Get thee a Scotsman like Graeme Montgomery!
Forced into a marriage by his king, Graeme thinks that he is marrying a woman who will never be his true wife. He can't, in good conscious, consummate the marriage with Eveline Armstrong who is rumored to be touched in the head and childlike.
What Graeme - and her entire family don't know - is that Eveline isn't daft at all, she just deaf, but played the fool in order to escape a previous arranged marriage to an evil man. When Eveline lays eyes on Graeme and feels the resonance of his voice, she is immediately hopeful that this man could make a good husband. He treats her with respect despite her rumored disability. Will Eveline open up to Graeme and tell him all of her secrets?

Mad Max but with werewolves!
Thank you Juliette for bringing this action/adventure romance to my attention. This is definitely a wild ride in a post-apocalyptic world - Mad Max Style!
Riley is taken captive by a warg, werewolves that are normally mindless, lethal beings with a penchant for using women. But Lucius seems to have his beast under control and he's looking for the man who ruined his life.
Riley struggles as she starts to view Lucius as a man and not the monster that wargs usually are, but will that mean betraying her own?
