Sinopse

 Winner of Holt Medallion! 
 WANTED…for crimes against the king. 
 In retaliation for the brutality of the English troops, the Irish rebel Egan is fighting back, leading a secret group of revolutionaries—and building a legend across the country.  
 REJECTED…by her own family. 
 Jane Purefoy is a woman with a past. The daughter of an English magistrate, she watched her Irish lover die on the gallows. Now Jane's reputation is ruined—and she has all but ceased to exist is the eyes of her family.  
 DESIRED…with a forbidden passion.  
 Sir Nicholas Spencer is on his way to Woodfield House to court the youngest Purefoy sister when he crosses paths with the notorious Egan. Not a man to be cowed, Nicholas wrestles the rebel to the ground and unmasks him—only to uncover Jane's lovely countenance. Bewitched by the spirited lass, Nicholas decides to keep her secret while embarking on a risky plan of seduction—one that will throw her family into chaos, the country into rebellion, and his heart into the throes of a love that can never be… 
   
 "The classic rebel-in-disguise story has never been more fun, exciting, or romantic."

    Ehli-nikkalu, eldest daughter of the Hittite emperor, is married to a mere vassal of her father's. But despite her status, her foreignness and inability to produce an heir drive a wedge between her and the court that surrounds her. When her secretary is mysteriously murdered while carrying the emperor a message that would indict the loyalty of his vassal, Ehli-nikkalu adopts the dead man's orphaned children out of a guilty sense of responsibility. 
     
     
     
    A young cousin she has never met becomes a pretender to the throne and mobilizes roving armies of the poor and dispossessed, which causes the priority of her loyalties to become even more suspect. However, Ehli-nikkalu discovers a terrible secret that could destabilize the present regime if the pretender ever learns of it. 
     
     
     
    With the help of a kindly scribe, her brave young ward, and an embittered former soldier trapped in debt and self-doubt, Ehli-nikkalu sets out to save the kingdom and prove herself to her father. And along the way, she learns something about love.
