It’s William de Wolfe’s (The Wolfe) eldest grandchild and namesake, William “Will” de Wolfe in an unconventional romance that is going to break your heart... and then put the pieces back together again.

Welcome to the greatest de Wolfe Pack generation!


William “Will” de Wolfe has the weight of the entire de Wolfe empire weighing on him. Perfection is key. Living up to the grandfather he was named for has been something he’s had to deal with his entire life. But Will is strong, noble, true, and powerful… everything a man named William de Wolfe should be.

Except he’s living through a personal tragedy no man should have to live through.

Will was very young when he married his wife, Lily de Lohr. As the great-granddaughter of Christopher de Lohr, the marriage forever linked the Houses of de Wolfe and de Lohr. The children born of the marriage are considered to have some of the finest bloodlines in England. But tragedy strikes when pregnant Lily is diagnosed with a terminal illness.

And she wants to pick her husband’s next wife.

More than that, she wants him to fall in love with her.

When his dying wife plays matchmaker, how successful can the relationship be between Will and Adria de Geld, the daughter of a de Lohr ally? Lily is determined that Adria should replace her in Will’s heart and in his bed, something Adria is reluctant to do but she cannot help but feel the attraction to the handsome, tortured knight. She soon finds out that his torment is not only because of his dying wife, but because of a terrible secret that Lily hides. Will only found out by accident and it is that, more than anything, tearing him to pieces.

A terrible secret that could tear apart two of England’s greatest families.

Can Adria and Will’s love take flight in spite of the dire circumstances? Or will Will’s torment overshadow a truly gifted, intelligent, and beautiful woman who has managed to fall in love with him?

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐



Will de Wolfe has the weight of a dynasty on his shoulders. As the eldest grandson and namesake of a very powerful warrior he must protect his family honour at all costs. His wife is going to die and there are several things she wants settled before she does.  One of them is to make her husband marry her friend. 
Adria de Geld has been with Lady Lily since before her marriage.  She thought she knew everything about her.  What will happen in the next few weeks will prove that wasn't true.  
Both our hero and heroine are loyal and loving people that will sacrifice themselves for others.  
You will definitely need a box of tissues handy with this story.  Our talented author knows just how to wring every emotion from us.  Giggles as we imagine the pranks of the old guard and tears at the unfolding tragedy.  If you need a refresher on the family history, it's in the author's notes at the front of the book.  
I'm very sure you will enjoy this wonderful addition to the "de Wolfe Pack Generation" 
I loved every page.

Andreas de Wolfe is the second-eldest de Wolfe grandchild. Son of Troy, he has inherited his father’s comely looks, his aggression, and his talent with a sword. The man is born for battle. But he is picky when it comes to women, the reason he’s not yet married. Unfortunately, when he does fall for a woman, Andreas sets himself up for a hell of a situation... and it could cost him everything.

It’s an all-out battle on the Scottish Marches as the de Wolfe Pack is called to war, the prize being Andreas’ very life.


Having been sent to London on business, Andreas de Wolfe finds himself in a unique position when his task is finished – leisure time. Seeking a diversion, he ends up in a mysterious underground gambling establishment that is full of scandalous, and dangerous, behavior. Those who enter must wear masks and names are never to be revealed. Anonymity prevails.

Enter Gavriella de Leia.

A beautiful young woman with a tortured past, Gavriella is brought to the gambling establishment by her ribald cousins. In her haste to find an exit from the terrible place, she runs into Andreas, who can see through the mask to the frightened young lady beyond. He calms her and an easy flirtation develops. Not even the masks can conceal the powerful attraction building between them. They make a date to discover the truth about one another, but Gavriella never shows up.

Andreas returns home, despondent.

Three months later, Andreas is called with the de Wolfe army to defend a lesser ally from a vicious enemy and Andreas realizes the daughter of the ally is, in fact, his beloved mystery woman. Her father is a long-time ally riddled with madness, and Gavriella is out of her element trying to handle his affairs. Andreas wants to know why she never showed up that day in London, but the truth is more than he bargained for.

In fact, there is something much more sinister afoot.

The truth behind Gavriella is far darker than Andreas could have imagined and he soon finds himself swept up in the horror she is linked to. In the lowlands of Scotland a devil lives, one that wants Gavriella for his very own and will stop and nothing to get her.

It’s all swords on deck to help Andreas save the only woman he has ever loved… or die trying.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


Andreas de Wolfe is every inch the warrior he was born to be.  Coming from the greatest family of warriors England has ever seen.  He has been sent to London on business and a little free time sees him and his compatriots discovering some of the more diverse entertainment the city has to offer. 
Cavriella de Leia has been sent to London in disgrace.  Through no fault of her own she had a child out of wedlock and her father can't bear to look at her.  Her aunt and cousins are not the most welcoming family to stay with.  One late night adventure that she never wanted will take her to her worst emotional place yet,  but maybe it will bring about a turn in her luck.  
As usual with this author's books, the depth of the characters we meet draw us in from the first page to the last.  
There is a lot of emotion and giggles galore.  The men of all ages sometimes behave like little boys. When the fighting starts though you can almost see each blow.  
Even if this is the first book you have read from this author you will fall in love with the characters and want to read many more.  Each book has it's own story but you will visit with friends from other books. 
I loved every page.

He's a veritable god of beauty, position, and talent. She's a lady of sweetness, wealth, and compassion. When gorgeous Cassius de Wolfe falls for a plain but sweet lady, the woman who hoped to have his affection doesn't take kindly to it.

Cassius has set himself up for retribution of the female kind. As the old saying goes, there's nothing like a woman scorned…

Or a de Wolfe protecting his mate.


Welcome to a de Wolfe Pack Generations tale!

Cassius de Wolfe, second son of Patrick “Atty” de Wolfe (Nighthawk), has made a name for himself as the Great Protector of Edward I. Cassius is the beauty of the family—handsome, skilled, built like the statue of a Greek god. He has no problem getting women into his bed, and in London, they follow him around in droves.

Cassius is a Medieval celebrity.

But all of that is secondary to the fact that Cassius is a truly skilled knight. He's a de Wolfe, and that means the knighthood lives in him as surely as the sun lives in the sky. After two years away, he's finally earned the chance to return home to see his father and mother and family, so on the eve of returning home, Fate has something else in mind for him.

Dacia of Doncaster is the heiress to a massive fortune. With both parents deceased, she is an only child, living with her elderly grandfather, the Duke of Doncaster. The old duke descends from an ancient royal line, and Dacia is the very last of her kind… and a hugely sought-after bride. There's only one problem—she's not what men would consider traditionally beautiful.

When Cassius the Handsome comes face to face with Dacia of Doncaster, a chance meeting turns into something more. Cassius wasn't looking for a bride, and Dacia wasn't looking for a husband, but when Dacia saves Cassius' life, it's more than a debt of honor he feels towards her.

Sometimes the most beautiful woman in the world isn't the obvious one, and Cassius must find that out the hard way.

Join Cassius and Dacia for an unusual—and truly beautiful—love story.
 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


Dacia de Ryes is an intelligent, kind hearted heiress. Because she's always been told her freckles are ugly marks from the devil,  she hides her face behind veils whenever she leaves her home. An orphan who has lived with her loving but distant grandfather, she has lots of people around but no real friends.  
Cassius de Wolfe is King Edward's Lord Protector but he's managed to claim a holiday long enough to visit his grandmother. He just has one errand to run for the King on his way home.  Cassius might be a huge battle tested warrior,  but he has a very soft heart and loves his family fiercely. 
This story will definitely tug on your heart strings.  Our poor heroine has suffered from nasty, small minded people all her life without complaint. Unfortunately that is about to come to a head. 
Our hero has more than one life threatening battle ahead. We also have a canine character that will have you giggling as much as his owner.  
An absolutely fabulous stand alone story where we meet up with several family members you will know from other books.

It’s a new generation of de Wolfe Pack cubs, carrying on the tradition of their illustrious grandfather. Thomas “Tor” de Wolfe has his hands full with battling women and battling enemies as he tries to secure a border castle for Edward I. Chaos is the name of the game!

Tor married, and lost, his wife at a young age. Because his wife was an orphan, he inherited her two sisters when they wed and when she died, they became his responsibility.

Unfortunately, the two spinster sisters view Tor as their property.

When Tor meets the worldly Isalyn de Tuberville, he is smitten. Isalyn, however, is not. Tor is big and handsome, but lives too much of a provincial life. She wants big cities, excitement, money, and no baggage of a dead wife. Isalyn’s father, however, feels differently – and Isalyn finds herself betrothed to the gentle de Wolfe giant. The spinsters have a new target.

Let the battles begin!

Enter a world of medieval mayhem, adventure, but most of all, of an overwhelming passion that soon consumes both Tor and Isalyn. Add Lady Isalyn’s former ambitious and jilted suitor into the mix, and it could mean the end for everything they have worked so hard to build.

But a strong love is worth fighting for, and no love is stronger than that of a de Wolfe.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐



After his devastating loss Thomas "Tor" De Wolfe threw himself into his work and ignored his two young sisters in-law.  Years later they are grown up and decided that he belongs to them and nobody else. Now he and other members of the Wolfe pack are hunting a worthless man who abandoned their cousin.  
Isalyn De Featherstone had to come north to visit her father,  but she has no intention of staying.  She loves her life in London where she writes plays anonymously.  She dislikes the restrictions placed on her and often escapes on her own.  
Our heroine is far too independent for her own good.  We just know it will bring her big trouble.  
Our hero is a true De Wolfe, big brave and honourable. He like to believe everyone is just as trust worthy.  
You can't help but get fully involved in our characters lives,  especially as there are so many family members that you will have met before in other stories.  We get fun, romance and danger all the way through. A fabulous visit with old friends and new.

Welcome to de Wolfe Pack Generations… grandsons of the great William de Wolfe. Meet Markus de Wolfe, Patrick “Atty” de Wolfe’s son… and he is every inch his father’s boy.

The grandsons of William de Wolfe all bear the Mark of de Wolfe - a tattoo of the de Wolfe crest somewhere upon their body. It's a badge of honor, of courage, and most of all - of family. The Pack sticks together.

Markus de Wolfe has the blood of the Normans and the Vikings flowing through him. Big, muscular, handsome, and proud, he is a fine tribute to his father and grandfather.

As an elite knight for the de Wolfe domain, Markus is called upon to help defend an allied castle. The Scots have overrun the place, killing the lord, and the de Wolfe army moves in to protect it. Markus takes command, appointing himself the personal protector of the lady of the castle and her two small children.

The problem begins.

Lady Amabella Hemada de Sauque has known the de Wolfe family for most of her adult life, ever since she married her much-older husband. She has known Markus, too, but not well. Not until he takes command of Trastamara Castle.

Then, a fiery passion is born of a passionate young knight and a repressed older woman, one that threatens to tear apart the House of de Wolfe. Will Atty be at odds with his beloved firstborn?

The House of de Wolfe has a history of marrying forbidden women… and Markus is no exception, but this time, will it cost the House of de Wolfe everything?

WolfeHeart is the beginning of the new generation of de Wolfe cubs!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


Lady Amabella de Sauque has been suddenly widowed,  and is worried that the Captain of her husband's guard is up to no good.  She sends to her allies for help to protect her family and home.
Markus de Wolfe is descended from a line of powerful men and is about to be appointed as the Protector to King Edward.  When his father gets a call for help from one of his allies they rush to help.  The son of the murdered man is serving in one of the family castles as a Squire.  
This is a great story with several twists and turns.  The characters are absolutely fabulous especially  the two little ones.  ( I can't wait to read their stories someday).  Our hero makes a choice that others will not understand, but if you have read any of this author's books before you will know her heroes always choose the right path.  You can't help but be caught up in the story from the beginning to the end.  
A really great story as usual.
