June Calvin

Penniless and without prospects, Lord Edmund Debham has returned from war longing for a peaceful life in the English countryside. Then he happens into a rustic tavern and plays a few games of cards for some sorely needed funds, never dreaming that a losing hand will lead him to all he desires. Fiercely independent, Olivia Ormhill hasn't trusted any man since her former fiance betrayed her hopes for happiness. Though at first she believes Edmund to be nothing more than a rakish opportunist, she finds herself overwhelmed by his disarming honesty and his charming demeanor. But when her former fiance returns to take the hot-tempered bluestocking for himself, both Qlivia and Edmund will have to decide how much their unspoken passion is worth--and if they are willing to wager their hearts for true love....

Christine Marion Fraser

Anna McIntyre, now eighteen, has enjoyed her time of respite while her brutal father Roderick has been sent away to work by Sir Malaroy of Noble House. But little does she know that her life is about to be changed radically — all because of the chance discovery of the Luckenbooth locket given to her years ago by her estranged mother. Few people know the real story behind the necklace - the untold anguish, remorse, bloodshed and blackmail that have been kept secret for a generation. As events of the past — acts of murder, abuse and outrage — are revealed, the truth finally begins to emerge, but can it really liberate the McIntyre and Noble families, or will the prick be too high? Set in the beautiful Scottish countryside, Fraser delicately weaves an intricate plot of fascinating characters. This is the third book in the Noble Saga following Noble Beginnings and Noble Deeds.
