The Immortal Who Loved Me

Agent: Jenny Bent

Avon, February 2015. World English.

Germany: Lyx. Holland: Audax.

Manuscript available.

A few hours ago, Sherry Carne would have sworn that vampires didn’t exist. That’s before rogue immortals rampage through her store, leaving bloody chaos (literally) in their wake. The kicker comes when Sherry learns that one of the vamps on the bad guys’ trail may be her life mate. Her head says it’s impossible. The rest of her takes one look at Basileios Argeneau and has much more interesting ideas.

Whatever Basil expected in a life mate, funny, outspoken Sherry isn’t it. But mind-blowing chemistry and instinct don’t lie. They tell him something else, too—that Sherry’s connection to the immortal world goes deeper than she knows. And that she’s in the kind of danger only Basil can save her from—if she’ll just trust him, now and forever . . .

“Sands continues her Argeneau series with Basil's story and maintains the levels of suspense, heat and humor she's known for. Basil and Sherry's relationship moves beyond the sexual, and the physical and emotional dangers they have to confront create a strong, endearing bond. Intense sensuality, captivating romance.” —Kirkus Reviews

“With her trademark attention to detail, Sands immerses readers in the love lives of the Immortals…Humor and delightful character interactions between both familiar and new faces more than balance a slightly formulaic plot, resulting in a rich, satisfying read for both series veterans and newcomers.” —Publishers Weekly

Avelyn is the pride of her parents—lovely, intelligent, sweet tempered, skilled in all pursuits expected of a great lady in eleventh-century England. Unfortunately, her nasty cousins have taunted her so unceasingly for so many years that she feels ugly, fat, and undesirable. A series of humiliating incidents have also convinced her new husband Paen de Gerville that she is not only frail but accident-prone, and the comical misunderstandings that result lead to more unhappiness for Avelyn. But soon her natural optimism overcomes her feelings of inadequacy, allowing her to take control and succeed as chatelaine of Rumsfeld in spite of the mishaps that continue to plague her.

“Sands has cleverly woven a suspenseful subplot into this medieval coming-of-age romance, and her characters—including two sets of overanxious but loving parents, a clumsy squire-in-training, and a pet piglet—delight, while her trademark humor and vivid settings enthrall the reader.”—Booklist

Clarissa Crambray wanted a husband, but maybe not as much as her mother wanted one for her.  Doffing her spectacles might make her prettier, but blind as a bat, she causes enough mayhem to earn a rather horrible nickname and scare away her suitors.  But Clumsby Clarissa just might stumble onto true love with a dark, handsome blur of a man: Adrian Montfort, the Earl of Mowbray, who has shunned society since his return from the Napoleonic Wars disfigured by scars.

“How this perfectly matched pair manage to get around her ruthless stepmother, another suitor and a killer is what takes this Regency-set historical to another level of love and laughter, madness and mayhem and into the realm of a sexy, irrepressible and utterly memorable story to cherish. Sands writes with humor and poignancy to our delight.”—RT Book Reviews

They call him the Devil.  He is the most notorious laird of Scotland: fierce, cold, deadly, and maybe even worse. Yet Evelinde has just agreed to wed him. Anything, she thinks, is better than her cruel stepmother. Though Evelinde should be wary of the rumors, she can't help but be drawn to this warrior.  They may call him whatever they wish, but Cullen, Laird of Donnachaidh, cares only for the future of his clan. He must find a wife, a woman to bear him sons and heed his commands. He has no need for beauty or grace, but one taste of his lovely bride's sweet lips and the sultry feel of her skin arouse an untamed passion. Perhaps there's more to marriage than he thought.

This fairy tale courtship did not turn into a happily ever after...Not until her husband dropped dead, that is.  He had been horrible enough to Christiana during their short marriage, and she was not going to allow the traditional period of mourning to ruin her sisters' debuts as well.  So Christiana decides to put him on ice and go on as if nothing's happened.

Until the real earl appears.  Richard Fairgrave had every intention of confronting his villainous twin who robbed him of his name and title...only to discover that he'd died.  Quietly assuming his identity, Richard must now deal with a maddening desire for his ravishing inherited "wife"-certainly a gold digger and possibly a murderess.  And Christiana must deal with an unwanted new "husband"...and they both must figure out what to do before the ice melts!

When her beauty lands her in danger, it's Robert who comes to the rescue, only to announce his affections are not of the romantic kind!

Robert saw enough sorrow in his parents' union to know he wants nothing to do with marriage, which is exactly what he'll be trapped into if he acts on his desire for the irksome siren. And then Lisa does what Robert least expects: gives up on him! As feigned indifference gives way, blistering passion burns at last. But just before the pair can succumb to hard-won bliss, an enemy with unfinished business lurks, threatening to destroy them both.

She never expected to marry…

Annabel was about to take the veil to become a nun when her mother suddenly arrives at the Abbey to take her home…so that she can marry the Scottish laird who is betrothed to her runaway sister! She knows nothing about being a wife, nothing about how to run a household, and definitely nothing about the marriage bed.

He never expected to fall in love . . .

From the moment Ross MacKay sets eyes on Annabel, he is taken with his shy sweet bride…and the fact that she's blessed with lush curves only makes him utter his own prayers of thanks. But when an enemy endangers her life, he'll move the Highlands themselves to save her. For though Annabel's not the bride he planned for, she's the only woman he desires.

"With humor, wit and compassion, Sands spins the touching tale of a lonely outsider who is rescued from the jaws of a bleak future… Watching Ross and his clan fall in love with Annabel is touching, and Ross' prowess at maneuvering the church's "bedding laws" and Annabel's entrenched religious obedience are highly amusing. A sweet, sexy, fun romance, with clever accents of suspense and entertaining dollops of humor."—Kirkus Reviews

“Sands takes a break from her paranormal Argeneau series to charm readers with a classic marriage-of-convenience plot. Maintaining the tenor of the era while building a love story with sensuality and humor is one of Sands’ talents, and one she displays with relish...”—RT Magazine

“Another delightfully charming historical romance from the talented Lynsay Sands… The writing was flawless. The characters were wonderful and the plot engaging… An English Bride in Scotland was a wonderful book. Sure to appeal to readers who enjoy Highland romance. Sure to appeal to lovers of intrigue.”—Night Owl Reviews

Sword fighting, swearing, and riding astride come naturally to Saidh Buchanan. Simpering and holding her tongue—definitely not. Raised alongside seven boisterous brothers, Saidh has little interest in saddling herself with a husband…until she glimpses the new Laird MacDonnell bathing naked in the loch. Though she’s far from a proper lady, the brawny Highlander makes Saidh feel every inch a woman.

She has an angel’s looks, a warrior’s temper, and seeks out his kisses with wanton eagerness. Little wonder that Greer is intrigued by his comely guest. When reckless desire overtakes them, he’s more than willing to make an honest woman of her. But Saidh is the target of a hidden enemy, and Greer faces the battle of his life…to safeguard the woman he wants above all others.
