I spotted one of these covers on the author’s Facebook page (you can see her website here) and well, never let it be said that a good cover can’t draw me in. When I’d read the blurbs, I thought the stories themselves sounded promising as well. Not exactly sure about genre – paranormal adventure romance, perhaps? The covers give off a sort of Indiana Jones vibe.
Releases September 7, 2010.
To most people, the realm of magic is the stuff of nursery rhymes and dusty libraries. But for Capt. Gabriel Huntley, it’s become quite real and quite dangerous…
IN HOT PURSUIT…
The vicious attack Capt. Gabriel Huntley witnesses in a dark alley sparks a chain of events that will take him to the ends of the Earth and beyond—where what is real and what is imagined become terribly confused. And frankly, Huntley couldn’t be more pleased. Intrigue, danger, and a beautiful woman in distress—just what he needs.
IN HOTTER WATER…
Raised thousands of miles from England, Thalia Burgess is no typical Victorian lady. A good thing, because a proper lady would have no hope of recovering the priceless magical artifact Thalia is after. Huntley’s assistance might come in handy, though she has to keep him in the dark. But this distractingly handsome soldier isn’t easy to deceive…
Releases October 5, 2010.
The Blades of the Rose are sworn to protect the sources of magic in the world. But the work is dangerous—and they can’t always protect their own…
READY FOR ACTION…
London Harcourt’s father is bent on subjugating the world’s magic to British rule. But since London is a mere female, he hasn’t bothered to tell her so. He’s said only that he’s leading a voyage to the Greek isles. No matter, after a smothering marriage and three years of straitlaced widowhood, London jumps at the opportunity—unfortunately, right into the arms of Bennett Day.
RISKING IT ALL…
Bennett is a ladies’ man, when he’s not dodging lethal attacks to protect the powers of the ancients from men like London’s father. Sometimes, he’s a ladies’ man even when he is dodging them. But the minute he sees London he knows she will require his full attention. The woman is lovely, brilliant, and the only known speaker of a dialect of ancient Greek that holds the key to calling down the wrath of the gods. Bennett will be risking his life again—but around London, what really worries him is the danger to his heart…
Releases November 2, 2010.
On the Canadian frontier in 1875, nature is a harsh mistress. But the supernatural can really do you in…
A LONE WOLF
Nathan Lesperance is used to being different. He’s the first Native attorney in Vancouver, and welcome neither with white society nor his sometime tribe. Not to mention the powerful wildness he’s always felt inside him, too dangerous to set free. Then he met Astrid Bramfield and saw his like within her piercing eyes. Now, unless she helps him through the harsh terrain and the harsher unknowns of his true abilities, it could very well get him killed…
AND THE WOMAN WHO LEFT THE PACK
Astrid has traveled this path before. Once she was a Blade of the Rose, protecting the world’s magic from unscrupulous men, with her husband by her side. But she’s loved and lost, and as a world-class frontierswoman, she knows all about survival. Nathan’s searing gaze and long, lean muscles mean nothing but trouble. Yet something has ignited a forgotten flame inside her: a burning need for adventure, for life—and perhaps even for love…
There’s a fourth title, Stranger, which will release December 7, 2010, but we don’t have a cover for that one yet. So what do you think? Does the series sound interesting? I think it’s safe to say, you can count me in.

These are definately on my to read list!
I’ve got to add the first one to my 2010 Must Haves!
Oh yeah, baby!
Don’t these look great? I love the clothing. Not a chest in sight lol! Well, actually a smidge on Scoundrel, but not in the usual romance cover way. ;)
I am absolutely in–I saw the cover for Rebel at the Unusual Historicals blog, and had to follow the breadcrumbs to Ms Archer’s site. Can I say how happy I am to know the books will all release so closely together?
I’m liking the close release days as well. Rebel is probably my favorite cover so far, but I was glad to see the other covers were pretty much just as eye-catching. Nice duds for a new series!
NICE covers.
So agree! :D
Love love love these covers!!!! Series looks really good too:)
Don’t the covers just scream different? I’ve not been attracted to a lot of romances lately, but these are doin’ it for me. :D
Hmmmm….me like. Thanks for the heads up!
Me wants them now. :D
PRETTY!!! I love them! The only problem is that paranormal romance isn’t always a hit with me, so I think I’ll keep an eye out and see what the reviews say first. But I really like those covers.
Interesting covers with interesting premise? I’m in!
