Lavender Vows by Colleen Gleason
Lord Bernard of Derkland needs to find a wife, if for no other reason than to satisfy his father and his incessant badgering. He has no interest in marrying, but when he meets the beautiful and gentle Joanna of Swerthmore, he knows immediately that she is the one.
The only problem is: she’s already wed.
Sanctuary of Roses by Colleen Gleason
Passionate romance and court intrigue, lords and ladies, knights and castles…
Madelyne de Belgrume has lived in secrecy in a hidden abbey for years. Her mad, abusive father, Fantin, believes she is dead.
Lord Gavin Mal Verne wants nothing more than to seek revenge on Fantin de Belgrume … and he has the king’s blessing to bring the man to heel.
After a battle with Fantin that leaves Gavin nearly dead, he accidentally comes upon a hidden abbey … and the beautiful, serene nun who helps to heal him…and touches his heart in more ways than one.
When Gavin discovers Madelyne’s true identity, she is forced to leave the sanctuary of the abbey and appeal to King Henry for succor.
To her horror, Madelyne learns she must either marry … or be returned to her father’s custody.
A Whisper of Rosemary by Colleen Gleason
Love, intrigue and passion in the grandeur of Medieval England.
Dirick of Derkland, man of the king, sets off on a mission of revenge after his father’s brutal murder. His mind is bent solely on vengeance until he meets the beautiful, spirited Maris of Langumont.
Maris of Langumont has vowed never to wed…but her father must do his duty to protect her, and he promises her to Victor d’Arcy – a man who makes her blood run cold.
Bon de Savrille rests his eyes on Maris only once and decides she must be his. He whisks her away just before her betrothal, determined to force her into marriage.
When Dirick appears at the castle where Maris is held captive, she believes he is part of the plot … and it’s nearly his death she causes during her plan to escape.
These sound wonderful — and what gorgeous covers! Thanks for the heads-up. The first one’s only .99 for the Kindle edition, so I just bought myself a little treat. Same price as a candy bar, only I don’t have to store it on my hips or my shelf :)
Thanks for posting these! I grabbed the kindle edition of the 1st one too. :-)
Despite spending time recently reading Gleason I hadn’t heard of these! Off to see if I can get them.
