BOUND BY DUTYWith invaders at the gates, Siobhan O'Rourke, Princess of Donegal Keep, is determined to see that her people not suffer - even if she must sacrifice herself. When the legendary warrior, Gaelan PenDragon demands her surrender and her oath, Siobhan refuses. In a clash of wills and customs, her enemy's vengeance comes gently and passionately - crumbling her barriers and weakening her resolve. But vanquishing her body does not give Gaelan her heart, for the price of loving the enemy could destroy Donegal forever.

SWORN TO CONQUERHis sword for hire and undefeated in combat, love is a luxury Gaelan has never known. Yet the flame-haired Princess of Donegal inspires dreams he never dared have. Siobhan's proud defiance baits him, her smoldering desire lures him, and before the ghosts of his past can butcher the passion neither can deny, he vows to possess the Celtic beauty - at any cost. But when suspicion, lies and a web of betrayal tear Siobhan from his arms, Gaelan vows to wage the battle of his lifetime... and capture the woman who has laid seige to his immortal soul.

"An elderly, unmarried lady with a considerable estate has decided that it is time to name her heir. Instead of leaving her fortune to her nearest male relative, she will research her family tree and find a deserving young lady to inherit. She finds three young cousins, all in need of financial aid, and invites them to a houseparty at her estate so that she can get to know them better and decide who would benefit the most from her generosity. Let the games begin...

The heroine of our story is Elizabeth Fields, a widowed vicar's eldest daughter. Since the death of her mother, she has taken over the responsiblity of the parsonage and raising her younger siblings. Her father fears that she will never marry, holed up in the country and refusing to go to London for a season. So, when Elizabeth's childhood friend, Julia, must travel to a distant cousin's to be considered for an inheritance, the vicar eagerly accepts Julia's mother's invitation for Elizabeth to act as chaperone in her absence. He hopes that the holiday will be good for his daughter and convince her that she can marry and leave her family in good conscience. Elizabeth is reluctant to go at first, but becomes excited at the prospect of helping her shy friend escape her overbearing mother.

Julia's rivals are a Miss Myra Bradford, accompanied by her mother, and Miss Imogene Shelton, who traveled with her half-brother, Major Roderick Shelton. Myra is a would be social climber who drops well known names into every conversation and who wants the fortune to ensure herself a good marriage. Imogene is an outgoing girl, just out of the school room. She would like to inherit so that she would no longer be her brother's responsibility. Sir Gordon, the above mentioned nearest male relative, drops in on the houseparty as well, in a final attempt to gain the inheritance that should have been his...and he will go to any length...

As Sir Gordon slanders the young ladies to his cousin and attempts to court all three on the side, Elizabeth and Roderick become reluctant allies in seeing to it that Gordon does not unfairly ruin anyone's chances. But as a series of pranks begin to get out of hand, both Roderick and Elizabeth suspect each other of trying to put the others in a bad light. As instant attraction grows into something deeper, the couple must risk it all for love...or money."

Oh dear god!

Those things never fail to amuse yet horrify me.

No romance novels, but I do appear as a bit-part in a Harold Robbins.
Otherwise, Google always throws out links to someone who writes 'forensic geology thrillers'. Is it just me, or does that sound less than thrilling?

Axel said the same thing, but I managed to find two.
