"Quand on trouve l'âme sœur, on croit que le bonheur durera toujours." C'est ce que pensait Holly jusqu'à ce que son Gerry ne meure d'une terrible maladie. À trente ans, Holly se retrouve seule, démunie, sans espoir. Mais Gerry lui réserve une ultime surprise. Il lui a laissé dix lettres qui forment une "liste" de choses à accomplir pour réapprendre à vivre. Par-delà la mort, Gerry lui adresse un message d'amour et de courage : elle doit apprendre à être heureuse sans lui, malgré le lien fort qui les unissait.

King. Country. Love. He can choose only one. The Knight Neill Waryn is known throughout England as the champion knight who cannot lose. His victory at the tournament of peace is the only one that matters to him, however, for it earns him a boon from the English king. Rather than ask for wealth or riches, he requests that the king remove the corrupt official who is destroying the fragile peace along the border between England and Scotland. His brothers and sister are borderers, and nothing matters more to him than their safety.

The Warrior - After two rejected proposals, Graeme de Sowlis has no interest in marriage. The Scottish clan chief would much rather preserve his heart and focus on promoting peace along the increasingly contentious border. His best-laid plans change when he accepts an invitation to a May Day celebration at Kenshire Castle in England. When he's caught in a stolen kiss with the May Day Queen, his integrity requires that he marry her.

Following his heart may cause a war. Is a second chance at love worth the risk? Aidan de Sowlis finds purpose in guarding his family and his clan. He tells himself such a life is enough for him but cannot dismiss the memory of the woman he wished to wed. Lady Clarissa now belongs to another man - or so he thinks. When the Scottish warden sends Aidan to England to negotiate with the lady’s father, a final effort to secure the peace along the border, he’s shocked to see her.
