Dear Reader,

These are two of my classic historical romances, and I love both of them. When I heard that they were going to be re-published together, I was thrilled. Connor d'Arcy, Lord Earl of Iveagh, the hero of Dark of the Moon, is one of my favorite heroes ever. (I'm still a sucker for tall, dark, brooding, masterful men with a secret!) Together, he and Caitlyn O'Malley steam up the eighteenth-century Irish countryside in an epic romantic adventure that made my heart pound while I was writing it and, I hope, has the same effect on yours as you read it.

Joss, from Desire in the Sun, is another great hero—still masterful, still sinfully handsome—but unlike Connor, afflicted with a lady who is determined to rule him. The fireworks generated by those two will leave you breathless.

I've re-read them several times myself, just for fun (it's great to be able to go back and read and enjoy your own books, by the way) and, for me, they're still magical. I think you'll find them magical, too.

Enjoy!

With warmest wishes,
Karen Robards

Summary

Dark of the Moon (originally published by Avon, 05/88)

Caitlyn was an orphaned beauty with no future—until the rugged outlaw nobleman rescued her from the streets. And now they ride together in the shadows of the night—on the run from corrupt minions of the law—emboldened by the exhilarating heat of the chase...and by a love as wild and free as the wind on the moors. Caitlyn has vowed she will never forsake Connor, her brave champion, her sensuous lover. But to save Connor, she must now betray him. Yet the proud lady can never betray the passion that joins their hearts...and draws Connor into harm's way to rescue his cherished love once more.

Desire in the Sun (originally published by Avon, 11/88)

Joss San Pietro was raised a gentleman but was cruelly betrayed. Held captive and enslaved, the proud man's fate now rests in the gentle hands of an extraordinary lady—Lilah Remy, a beautiful pampered daughter of privilege. For a strange destiny has cast them together on tempestuous seas, and shipwrecked and alone they must courageously face desperate trials and dangerous truths—and a bold, forbidden love that can only blossom in paradise.
