Summary: A thousand years. That’s how long Chieftain Lorcan of the Acwellan has waited to have his vengeance. Now that his mate has distanced himself from the sanctity of the magic stealing stones the Cwylld elves are notorious for, Lorcan can finally end his miserable life. It is no more than he deserves after abandoning Lorcan and igniting a war between their people, leaving the demonic elven of the Acwellan tribe decimated. Things are not always as they seem. Lorcan’s other half did not vanish of his own accord. Blinded and left to sit in the dirt while his tribesmen and women heap insults upon his head and occasionally use their fists to show their dislike, he has no memory of his past nor of Lorcan. After centuries of neglect, he is rescued by the kind hearts of D’Vaire and is cautiously learning to live again. When Lorcan’s hunt leads him to a sanctuary, he is shocked but remains undeterred. With a score to settle, he will allow nothing to get in his way—not even his own heart. But Lorcan’s other half is equally stubborn, and his mind is set on reconciliation. Fate has not recklessly paired these two, though she does work in mysterious ways. The question remains: when all is said and done, which of their plans will be left in the dark?

Summary: A man too hard to love, and the men who love him. Gristle is a former Roman soldier who has forsaken any relationship with a man since being abandoned by beautiful young Tristus ten years ago near the Wall of Hadrian. Now in Ireland as one of a group of emigrants at the monastery of St. Patrick in Armagh, he discovers the sensual pony trainer Wynn, half his age, is deeply attracted to him. In spite of Gristle’s resolution to forsake the lure of sex, he seduces Wynn. The result is a burst of passionate encounters between them. Arriving in sacred Tara, where he is one of the mounted guard protecting Bishop Patrick during the Samhain festival, he is stricken to find that Wynn, too, has deserted him—just as he finds Tristus again after ten years, now a changed man. Ironically, neither of these men has willingly abandoned Gristle. Tristus’ disappearance from his watch one night a decade ago has instilled an immutable sorrow in Gristle's deep subconscious. And now Wynn, unknown to Gristle, is taken by nasty-minded druids, leaving him devastated by a loss he cannot rationally deal with. Told from three different POVs, the story revolves around the complex relationship among these three men. The novel deals with Gristle’s finding, rejecting, and finally trying to accept a kind of love into his parched heart.

Summary: “You are only a prisoner when you surrender.” The second novel in The Iron Warrior series continues the edgy pairing of Gristle and Wynn. The former soldier's young lover has been too shamed to admit he’d been raped when he’d been ambushed and almost killed by two villainous druids. Throughout a series of adventures, the men are kept from a healthy partnership by Wynn’s harboring his secret and by Gristle’s own jealousies and superstitions. The two lovers find adventures both perilous and humorous in their trip from Derry to the seacoast of Ireland, then on to Wales and finally to Tara, the scene of Wynn’s recent capture. Into the uneasy relationship steps another warrior…Dub, the Wise Man (Ollamh) of the high king of Ireland, who had befriended and healed Wynn in the earlier book. Weakened by jealousy, the unconquerable Gristle lowers his guard, and he is savagely attacked. Now Wynn must join with his old mentor Dub in trying to save his life. And even if Gristle can be saved, how can the lovers ever be happy under the shroud of suffocating jealousy and buried shame?
