Summary
“Remy LeBeau…” she mused quietly. “The horse whisperer.”
Her lips were tugged into a smile. Gorgeous. Contagious. All the girls back at the ranch were pretty, but there was something about this Rogue femme. He could feel it, deep in his bones. Tantalizing curves and sun-kissed skin had his mind spinning with forbidden thoughts; there was nothing he wouldn’t do to feel her warmth under his thieving hands.
The woman was simply stunning.
And she was making fun of him.
Again.
“Jus’ doing my job, chére.” He shook his head, pulling the reins to steer the horse from leaving the trail. “S’ body language. Dat’s all.”
Tightening the reins, Rogue took the lead. The ground was rocky, but her stride was steady and confident.
“Ah don’t know, Rems” she said, throwing him a look. “All Ah hear is… Horse whisperer.”

Rogue is engaged to a man twenty-two years her senior. To her friends’ despair, she doesn’t seem to have a problem with that. That is, until she meets a certain cajun at her riding lessons. What's that swamp rat doing so far up north? What’s with the sunglasses? And, more importantly, what's his deal against personal space?

Summary
This had to be the chance he'd been waiting for.
Dr. Milbury had taken a keen interest in the uncharted island 500 miles south of the Arctic Circle. Muir Island. Gambit's mission was simple enough: assemble a team of mercenaries and lead them out to sea on an expedition. If they survived the voyage on the Marauder, Sabretooth would guide them through the second step of the plan: collecting Milbury's next weapon. Ancient urn, cursed sword, magic stones. It didn't matter. Whatever it was, Gambit was ready to steal it. He was ready to use it against his employer and finally free himself from his debts.
The one thing he hadn't anticipated was the blood. There was so much of it. And then there were those beautiful, haunting green eyes staring back at him. He'd be damned if he didn't save her.
She'd have her freedom. Even if it came at the cost of his.
