needed expendable female. "The Dragon And The Dark Knight" by Mary Jo Putney.
William of Penruth promises Sir Kenrick of Rathbourne land

Toshiro rescues her. What will he want for her life? "Dragon Feathers" by Barbara Samuel. Following the death
of her husband Penny Freeman moves to New Mexico where she
becomes a student of renowned weaver, Senora Maria
Lib'elula. Penny buys a fixer upper house at an
incredibly low cost. Inside her new home she feels peace
as the place smells of fresh sweetness and a white noise
hum in the background enables her to relax even when pink
feathers mysteriously appear. When she meets Maria's son
Joaquin, Penny begins to think of love, but he has secrets
that prevent them from exploring their feelings. These four romantic fantasies are lighthearted fun tales
that take readers and the female lead characters soaring
