warriors and feisty leading ladies.
When a red-haired woman tries to steal Sir Gybbon Murrays horse on his journey back to the Murray stronghold, he thanks
his lucky stars that his horse is a rude loutand that the pretty thief is not so injured that she cant tell her tale. Hes no
nursemaid to delicate lasses, but Mora Ogilvy is fleeing her ruthless cousins, fearing for her life. And when she tells him of
the home theyve taken from her and the man they say she murdered, Gybbon cannot let such injustice stand
Moras pride demands she take back her lands, but not by risking the lives of this handsome, wicked knight and his family.
Still, she needs to recover from her wounds, and staying close to Gybbon in his brothers keep is a seductive solution. A few
weeks at his side will be a sweet memory for her when she returns to fight her own battles. Except the depth of her cousins

DEFINITION OF A BAD GIRL
MChaune
Leshaun is the true definition of a bad girl, who goes from corporate to hood and back
again with ease. While she lets others think that shes just one of a team, those who truly
know her understand that she runs the streets all by herself.
Let Leshaun tell it, a big girl can be the whore, the pimp, and the broad that owns the sleazy hotel all at the same time. The
issue is that others need to respect her gangster. When someone has the balls to burn her hotel to the ground and pick off
her whores one by one, Leshaun will have to fight this battle with every ounce of strength she has. She is the definition of a
bad girl, and the next time you see her, it will be in the dictionary next to get rich or die trying. Sometimes, the king of the
streets isnt a king at all.
MChaune hails from North Carolina. She has always had an ongoing love affair with the written word and is proud to
finally make her mark in the literary world. This big, beautiful queen writes with the fuller figured woman in mind and in a
positive light.
