Be swept away by passion… with intense drama and compelling plots, these emotionally powerful reads will keep you captivated from beginning to end.Conquering King’s Heart Maureen ChildFor three years she’d haunted his dreams. And the memory of that heated anonymous night sent tycoon Jesse King back to Morgan Beach, California, determined to find her. He would have his mystery woman once more – a King never lost.Montana Mistress Sara OrwigLaurel Tolson had had enough of wealthy, arrogant men who thought their money could buy anything and anyone. But then tycoon Chase Bennett swept into her little Montana town and made her an offer as enticing as it was indecent. He’d more than match the price of her entire hotel – if she’d be his mistress for just one month. The idea was shocking, scandalous, yet strangely seductive!

“It’s you.”

She staggered a little. “What?”

“You. On the beach. Three years ago.”

She blinked up at him, rubbed her fingertips across her mouth and then drew in a long, shaky breath.

“Congratulations,” she said at last. “Finally you remembered.”

“You knew?” he demanded, bracing his legs wide apart as he folded his arms over his chest. “You remembered and didn’t say anything to me?”

“Why would I?” she asked, gathering up the fabric she’d dropped when he was kissing her. “You think I’m proud of that night?”

“You ought to be,” he told her sharply, “we were great together.”

“We were strangers. It was a huge mistake.”

“I want to make you an offer,” Chase said.

Laurel stepped out of his embrace. Trying to gather her wits, she picked up her champagne flute to take a sip, thinking he was taking unfair advantage by kissing her senseless before talking business. “Go ahead,” she said.

“You want to sell your hotel,” he stated.

“Yes, you know that. That’s what this is all about.”

“That’s part of what this is about,” he replied. “It’s what you want.”

“All right, Chase,” she said warily. “What do you want?”

He took her glass from her hand, setting it on the mantel beside his and holding her hand in his. “I want you, Laurel. I want you so much that I’ll buy your hotel for your full asking price, plus half a million dollars – if you’ll be my mistress for a month.”

King’s Heart

Dear Reader,

Thanks to all of the letters I received asking for more KINGS OF CALIFORNIA books, I’m happy to offer you the first book in a new Kings mini-series – with more to come, I promise!

Conquering King’s Heart is about Jesse King, a former world champion surfer. Jesse is the youngest of four brothers, and in the next few months you’ll be seeing more of them as well.

But for now, let’s talk about Jesse. He’s travelled all over the world, living life his way. Now he’s retired from competition and has settled down in Morgan Beach – a place that haunts his memory thanks to the “mystery woman” he met one night three years ago.

Bella Cruz is that mystery woman and she’s not happy that Jesse has moved into her home town, changing everything she loves about the place.

When these two meet again, the fireworks are well worth watching!

The KINGS OF CALIFORNIA will continue in August and October with stories about Jesse’s brothers Justice and Jefferson. Then, of course, there’s still Jericho to be heard from.

I hope you have as much fun reading this story as I did writing it. I love hearing from my readers! E-mail me at maureenc@maureenchild.com or send via post to PO Box 1883, Westminster, CA 92684-1883, USA.

Until then, happy reading!
