Im Aufruhr der Gefühle  

I'm pleased to announce my third German edition, Im Aufruhr der Gefühle (In the Turmoil of Emotions), aka Smuggler's Bride,
is now on sale from fine German booksellers like Amazon.de.

Notice the old school cover: Nothing says "Hot lovin' on the Florida frontier" like a beautiful babe falling out of her bodice, a half-naked hero, and a killer pink flamingo looming in the background. I must admit, I love this cover. Every time I see it, it makes me smile.

And don't forget the German editions: Rache und Rosen (Revenge and Roses), aka Pirate's Price, at Amazon.de (RR) and Samt und Säbel (Saber and Velvet), aka Captain Sinister's Lady, at Amazon.de (SS). Both also available in German bookstores.

  The Estonian Editions Are Out!

RTR Reviewers Award Winner 

"Marshall writes with skill and depth, drawing readers into the lives of her characters, and providing the 'get away' experience that every romance reader craves. CAPTAIN SINISTER'S LADY is a must read for anyone who loves a good pirate tale and longs for a little adventure!" — The Road To Romance

Amanda Stephenson is a widow traveling from Yorkshire to Charleston in the 1820's to set up her soap making business. It's a grand adventure, just as she's always dreamed — until her ship is boarded by the crew of the privateer Zephyr. Amanda's plans for her future do not include large, hairy, uncouth pirates. Morgan Roberts has his work cut out for him, but he's prepared to try his most piratical tricks if it will convince the luscious widow to become Captain Sinister's Lady.

  "Marshall's poignant tale of love is highlighted by humor...A delightful tale of love on the high seas."

Christine Sanders believes the best way to live comfortably in 1820s Florida is to turn pirate and rob a man with money. And the perfect man to rob is the man who took her money — her husband.

"The love scenes sizzle and the angst of the two leads feels very genuine. I will watch for further historical romps from this talented author. Four Cups! " -- Coffee Time Romance

"PIRATE'S PRICE is a terrific yarn!" -- The Best Reviews

"Darlene Marshall has written a wonderful story filled with romance and humor...This book will keep you up late into the night. It is impossible to put down. " -- Coffee Time Romance
