Common sense tells her to just walk away and not get involved, but all it takes is one look at the handsome unconscious northerner and gets involved.

Prophecy – Eternal Press – June 2010

Prudence Lanne would rather die than marry the likes of Blood Clan leader Daniel Pare.

Daniel Pare has always known that he was destined to marry Prudence Lanne even if he didn’t love her. She is the most exasperating woman whom he has ever met. She argumentative, opinionated and has one heck of a fiery temper. Given the choice of keeping her by his side or losing her to his brother or his enemy Michael decides Prudence is the lesser of the three evils. But after having her under his roof for a week could he just forget what they’d shared and let her just walk away?
