HONOR – Adam Stanford, Earl of Ashworth, has always done the right thing.
DESIRE – Lady Catherine Bourgeault, lonely and rejected, longs to experience passion, to love just once in her life.
TREACHERY – The Baron Bourgeault, to what extremes will an obsessive, unstable man go to achieve his own dark ends?
SEDUCTION – In the face of a love that will not be denied, Adam and Catherine risk everything to be together.
BETRAYAL – What price must Catherine and Adam pay for a forbidden love in a time when honor meant everything?

EXCERPT:
Catherine didn’t know if she wanted to tell Lord Ashworth about her retreat. She had come upon it not long after her marriage to Edgar, and it had offered her the only peace she was to know for a long time.
It was dangerous to share the only thing that belonged to one. Yet the thought of spending an afternoon with the earl in her most treasured place, sharing a leisurely meal, beckoned her. She glanced shyly over her shoulder to see if he still followed.
Lord Ashworth rode only a few yards behind her horse, and he grinned when their eyes met. He had a lazy, sensual smile and, when he looked at her like that, she felt an odd breathless catch in her throat. She wondered how it would feel if he were to place those warm lips to hers instead of the back of her hand.
Oh dear! There went that catch again.
Within moments they entered a clearing. Catherine dismounted without waiting for the earl’s assistance and swung her arms wide as she turned in a circle about the shaded copse.
“What do you think?” she asked.
The earl, still astride, cast his gaze slowly around the tiny glen as he studied the scenery. He then turned his attention to Catherine but did not speak. A suggestive grin broke the calm of his expression as he continued to watch her.
“More beautiful than I could have imagined,” he murmured.
Simple statement that, but it held a wealth of meaning. Catherine dropped her arms while staring back in fascination. Her mouth fell open and her breathing quickened. The air vibrated with unspoken words as they shared a moment of absolute understanding. The specter of desire had been brought into the open and was acknowledged.

Just Released: THIEF OF SOULS
Dark and sensual, Thief of Souls is one man's battle with evil for the fate of his humanity. It is a modern vampire-esque romance, gothic in tone, with a twist on the "Beauty and the Beast" theme, for the beast's ugliness resides on the inside rather than the outside, and his hope for redemption comes not from being loved by another but from discovering his own ability to love.

This is the series three landie of my chum Jerome. It has an incapacitating malady at the moment in that the clutch won't actuate. The master cylinder has been changed and the system, bled which took a lot longer than we thought what with corroded on bolts and a lack of access for ordinary sized spanners.

More investigations due this weekend, as it's been standing for six months I'm sort of wondering if the clutch has seized up. There are a number of possible remedies if this is so short of dropping the gear box but they all sound potentially worrisome.

When the kitten is worried or disconcerted by something it jumps up inside the engine bay for security since through out it's short life the vehicle has never moved.At the rate we are making progress it may grow into an old and sedantry cat before it learns any better.

The Series-2 BurroWeavil is the infiltrator of the nano-bug forces. Swarms of these robots are released onto an enemy ship, unbeknownst to the pilots, and can hack almost any computer in under a second. Using special electricity-sensing-radar, the BurroWeavil drills into the ship and attempts to find wires located in the walls. After finding said wires, the small spin at the tip of a BurroWeavil's drill is inserted into the wire and forms a direct link to the ship's computer. The robot then broadcasts every scrap of information it finds back to the ship which released it, sending vast amounts of valuable information without a single person knowing.

I may or may not make more of these, depending on whether I can find more Bionicle masks :P

Hess finally went back the old green color trucks that were a big hit for them in the early years. This big green monster truck has some striking features on it such as large tires all around, roll bar, big flames accenting the sides of the truck as well as a ton of chrome all over! If that isn't all, it also has real head and tail lights and comes with multiple sounds. The sounds are operated by buttons mounted along the top of the roll bar. Some of the sounds available are the revving of the engine, a honking sound, the starting of an engine and a flashing light feature that the kids are sure to love! The 2 motorcycles have the friction motor feature and also have real operating lights on them as well! Another quality toy by the Hess Corporation.
