LOVE AT YOUR OWN RISK

Available from Wings ePress, Inc,

All Vicki Kent wants is a few days of off-season isolation at her parents’ windswept Cape Cod home. But instead of blissful solitude, she’s greeted by a gun-toting stranger—and a sudden, fierce attraction she can definitely do without. Thanks to a mixup, she’ll be sharing her hideaway with Detective Lieutenant John Paolillo, a man whose haunted eyes tell her he needs refuge as much as she does.

John’s job was his life. Now on mandatory leave, he’s alone and adrift—until Vicki shows up. After what he’s been through, he should dislike everything about the cool blond defense attorney with the Ivy League degree. Little does he know that a few days of beach-walking and kite-flying can do wonders for a pair of surprisingly similar souls—and for two healing hearts that might just belong together . . .

 

“This story truly does demonstrate that love must be worked at and compromises must be made if a relationship is to succeed. . . . This is an excellent romance, perfect for contemporary romance fans."

ROSES IN THE MIST

Available from Wings ePress, Inc,

Note from Blair: Roses in the Mist is a Young Adult novel that can be enjoyed by anyone with an interest in life in the harsh, yet sometimes surprisingly familiar, 12th century.

Alecyn, an orphaned heiress, knows she will never be allowed to marry Ranulf, a penniless Saxon squire. But a ray of hope appears when she becomes one of the caregivers for the many children of King Henry II and his wife, Eleanor of Aquitaine. As added interest to this tale of young lovers, two of the royal children will grow up to become the King Richard and Prince John of Robin Hood fame. Alecyn and Ranulf are also aided by an equally young William Marshal, who later earned the title of “the greatest knight of all time.”

 

“Roses in the Mist is an aching love story told against the colorful background of court life in the 1100s. It’s filled with the pageantry of royal life as well as those tiny details that make a world as real as our own. Looming over it all is the tempestuous marriage of King Henry and his queen, Eleanor of Aquitaine. Alecyn’s life is caught up in the maelstrom of political intrigue and the royal couple’s love-hate relationship. Ms. Bancroft has created a finely crafted historical novel with excellent attention to detail.”
