Introduction NY Times & USA Today & Bestselling Authors present - Dangerous Heroes ... Rouges, Warriors, Princes & Pirates You're about to enter a collection of over 1,756 pages of heart-pounding, passionate romance. Of course, what you'll really be doing is slipping away to another world. A long-ago time and place where you'll find bold, larger-than-life heroes who live to sweep their proud and fearless heroines into their arms and ride off with them across the high moors, or speed away with them over tossing, white-capped seas, or perhaps they'll toss them over their shoulders and race up a castle's winding turret stair. Either way, the five authors who joined together to bring you this collection guarantee our heroes and heroines will treat you to everything you love in a historical romance.
