Her two St Ives books are Black Angel and Night Of Fire. Sadly, those are the only for the series and Night Of Fire was her last historical (2000). I went looking for more after I read Black Angel years ago since it's obvious she was plotting for a longer series with all the interesting siblings and it's a shame it didn't happen especially with the brothers.
She describes a bit about her conception of the books in her intro to Night Of Fire http://www.barbarasamuel.com/
But she does have two more historicals she seems to be readying for e-book - A Winter Ballad and Dancing Moon. I wonder if she also has rights to her Ruth Wind Harlequins for further e-book releases.

| I just finished Night of Fire and it was one of the most heartbreaking and lovely books I have recently read. It is a shame not to have Julian or Gabriel's stories. Thanks again for the recommendations. |

Eloisa James: A Fool Again: a novella previously published in a 2004 Avon anthology is a free pre-order @ B&N, for an April 26th release.
A Fool Again is the story of Genevieve, who once made a dash to Gretna Greene to marry, but was caught by her father. Now, a few years later, the story opens at the funeral of her elderly husband (not the man she ran away to marry)...and that's all I'm going to say, besides to tell those of you who enjoyed Fool for Love that the hero of this story is Darby's brother, Tobias.

Re: Barbara Samuel
Barbara Samuel is going to be writing more historicals due to the response from readers of her books in e-format. She left a series unfinished and looks like she will be completing it.
Wonderful news!

Today's offering from All Romance's free book a day for a month that Mark pointed out earlier is one of my favorite M/M books
http://www.allromanceebooks.com/product-cutrun-11543-145.html
Cut & Run
Series: Cut & Run , Book 1
By: Abigail Roux | Madeleine Urban
Published By: Dreamspinner Press
Published: Sep 29, 2008
Word Count: 142,500
Categories: Gay Suspense/Mystery Action/Adventure
Description
A series of murders in New York City has stymied the police and FBI alike, and they suspect the culprit is a single killer sending an indecipherable message. But when the two federal agents assigned to the investigation are taken out, the FBI takes a more personal interest in the case.
Special Agent Ty Grady is pulled out of undercover work after his case blows up in his face. He's cocky, abrasive, and indisputably the best at what he does. But when he's paired with Special Agent Zane Garrett, it's hate at first sight. Garrett is the perfect image of an agent: serious, sober, and focused, which makes their partnership a classic cliché: total opposites, good cop-bad cop, the odd couple. They both know immediately that their partnership will pose more of an obstacle than the lack of evidence left by the murderer.
Practically before their special assignment starts, the murderer strikes again – this time at them. Now on the run, trying to track down a man who has focused on killing his pursuers, Grady and Garrett will have to figure out how to work together before they become two more notches in the murderer's knife.

Oy. Thank you for the tips on the e-books. I finally broke down and registered my Kindle (received two years ago) and bought a book. I’ve become addicted and intrigued by the somewhat fragmented and romanticized version of The Borgias on Showtime and wanted to reread a factual account. The Kindle version was $1.99 while all other formats started at $17.00.
I have been reading AAR e-reader and Kindle topics all morning and I am impressed at how technically adept and savvy everyone is.
PWNN, I purchased your two Medievals and plan to look over a few of the other books listed. Thanks once again.

I've never read any Miriam Minger. Is she worth a try? Her only review here by LLB earned a D. (I had to laugh when she compared the heroine to Eeyore, with a perpetual black cloud hanging over her head  ) |

It has been so long since I read her that it's hard to say. My tastes were very different back then.  At the same time, I remember that the hero in Twin Passions was much more heroic than many of the other "heroes" of romances during that time. Yes, he was a Viking, and the heroine and her sister were his captives, but as far as I remember, he didn't chain either of them naked to the dining room table, have them flogged for breaking a nail, etc. Maybe that's why I still rememmber it.
