A Most Unusual Princess
Dalton felt badly. He dallied on his way to a meeting with King Maxwell to watch an impudent wench bathe in a sparkling pool. But she was also pleasuring herself, and Dalton couldn't help but watch. When she called him out, he restrained himself, giving her a lecture on bathing without proper protection, and sending her on her way with the admonition to go straight home. Little did he expect the beauty in the pool would become very close to him. Never in a million years did he expect to come across the king's daughter in such a state of dishabille, yet when he meets his erstwhile charge, that is exactly what he finds. No wonder King Maxwell wants a guard with the feisty wench, and not just a lady-in-waiting either. In spite of their rocky beginning, Dalton sees Elara for what she is, and that woman beneath is someone Dalton wishes he could get to know a whole lot better.
Elara is pissed. ROYALLY PISSED! Not only has her father insisted she hage a guard around her at all times, but he has assigned the uncouth briggand who watched her bathe to escort her and protect her everywhere she goes. This action is totally unforgivable, yet she can't say anything to her father for he would be angered beyond belief at her carelessness. It is bad enough she is being "auctioned off" in the marriage mart, but to be humiliated by having to have a gurad at all times sis going too far. Her father won't bend, however, and Elara is saddled with Dalton as her constant shadow. The longer Elara is with him, the more he intrigues her. True to his word, he has not told her father of the woodland encounter, he has remaied a gentleman and done nothing untoward, and he has protected her. Elara finds herself enchanted with her bodyguard, and against her will, finds herself wishing to please him...
A Most Unusual Princess finds us in the presence of two people who are thrown together by circumstances, and yet are attracted to each other in spite of a troubled start. Trust, tentatively given, develops into a deeper relationship, and even though there is a huge gulf between them, Dalton and Elara find that if they tke the chance, maybe the true friendship they are now beginning to share can blossom into a whole lot more. The real hitch will come when Elara finds out Dalton's real mission, his true identity. Can their fledgling love survive the perceived betrayal? A Most Unusual Princess is also the first story in a royal trilogy of shorts that continues with Dalton's Temptation and finishes with The Pauper Prince. This trio of tales are just more examles of Kelli's talent.
The Dark Lord
The life Katarina now has is not much. Alone, with no family to speak of, she works on Gurkas' goat farm where she is treated no better than the lowest of servants. Even the animals are given more respect and care than she by the Gurkas. When the chance to live in the castle high in the mountains comes, Katarina decides to take it no matter how dangerous it may be. She presented herself to his lordship's envoy, and found herself ensconced in a carriage to meet her destiny. She had heard the rumours, but was not prepared for the reality. Life at the castle was nothing ig not luxurious. She had a rea bed, plenty of food, and most of all, she had the companionship of Sebestyen. She was becoming convinced he was a Dark Lord, but not as most of the populace thought. Magda was wrong, and her sniping at Sebestyen angered Katarina to no end. Housekeeper or not, how dare she judge Sebestyen when she never dared to stay the night? How could she know the temperment of the man for whose home she was to care when she never bothered to get to know him? But then, there were things that disturbed her, but being a logical girl, she waited to see what would happen next...
Rumours abounded around Lord Sebestyen Adrik, and he was at a loss to stop them. Truth had been blown all out of proportion, lives ruined and lost, and all because he wanted to have companionship, to have a friend, and if he could lift the curse somehow, a lover. He began to question his own motives when Katarina came, but for some reason she is different. She is bold, she is a virgin, and she is apparently not afraid of him at all, which is unusual. She is, in a way, coldly logical, but she also posesses great compassion, and in spite of all his tempers, seems to care for him on a deeper level. For Sebestyn, this is a new experience, and all the trial that came before seem to be relieved in her tender care. But now there is only one question. Can his newly found happiness last, and last with Katarina? As the darkness grows and danger approaches, he is assured of an answer. This time, Sebestyen is not giving up without a fight. If there is one thing he believes in now, it is the power of love...
The Dark Lord is a tale of prejudice, hatred, rumour, and betrayal surrounding Lord Sebestyen Adrik. Tales spred by malicious gossip and a case of amnesia have even Sebestyen questioning hiss own character. When Katarina comes on the scene, Sebestyen learns many things, and among those is the meaning of true love, and the joys it can bring. Even if he is never able to really make love to a woman again, he knows that his faithful and loyal Katarina has toaught him a valuable lesson. But is that all for the pair? Will fate condemn him to a life without sexual release? Only time and circumstances will be able to tell...
