Imperia

A cursed warrior crosses paths with a woman unlucky in love in this sizzling, significantly updated classic from bestselling author Gena Showalter, originally published as The Stone Prince in 2004. A statuesque beauty unlucky in love... With five older brothers, Katie James grew up a tomboy. Now, the six-foot-tall home renovator has never made it past a first date. When she begins restoration on an old Victorian, she never dreamed the gorgeous marble statue in the garden would come to life with a kiss. But, suddenly, a very real, very naked warrior is standing before her, demanding she surrender her heart. A cursed alien prince with everything to lose... Jorlan en Sarr hails from the distant planet Imperia. Thanks to his brother's curse, he's been entombed in stone for centuries, awaiting a fair maiden to set him free. Yet the goddess-like female with a will of iron and kisses like flame is nothing like the subservient damsels of his homeland. And though Katie affects him as no other, Jorlan must guard his heart while winning hers - all in two weeks! If he fails, he'll be turned back to stone... forever. Originally published in 2004

When Santa Fe antique dealer Julia Anderson was curiously drawn to purchase a battered jewelry box, she never expected it to contain her own personal love slave.

Yet revealing his true heart would break the centuries-old spell and separate them forever. And Tristan would do anything to go on loving Julia...even remain a slave through all eternity....
