DARING TO FALL FOR THE PRINCE
Part of Princes of Egypt
By Heba Helmy
(1880s Egypt)
When Elise agrees to pose as her friend Lady Olive in a few letters with a faraway prince, she never dreams she’ll actually meet the man. Yet when they travel from England to Egypt, and Olive runs away, Elise finds herself alone with Prince Saleem and fighting a forbidden attraction!
It might be a tactical match, but Saleem’s all but betrothed to her best friend, and fiercely independent Elise is wary of his royal world. As they team up to solve a dangerous mystery, dare Elise reveal she’s the one who wrote the letters and surrender to this impossible desire?

THE VIKING’S ROYAL TEMPTATION
By Roxy Harper
(Viking)
Princess and healer Theadora doesn’t flinch at the sight of armed soldiers. Yet when another uprising threatens to disturb Constantinople’s peace, and Varangian guard Erik bursts into her sanitorium, she’s stunned by her body’s immediate reaction to the rugged Viking…
After the tragic loss of his family, Erik vowed to never love again. So he refuses to let his inconvenient attraction to Thea distract him from his duty: escorting her to marry the king of Macedonia.
If Thea doesn’t wed, her people will suffer, so can the star-crossed lovers fight their feelings, as well as their enemies?

Roxy Harper has always been a voracious reader and from a young age especially loved the romance genre—stories that told of strong, fearless heroines and the champions who captured their hearts. She entered the world of writing with a submission to the Warriors Wanted! blitz and was thrilled when her story was selected. Spending time writing allows her to escape to the ancient worlds of her protagonists, journeying with them as they battle the external forces that strive to keep them apart, and their own personal barriers to falling in love, until they find their happy-ever-after. Becoming a published author has been a dream come true—Roxy can’t wait to write more stories for Harlequin Historical and very much hopes her readers will enjoy them!
