by Leanne Shawler

Back from the Peninsular campaign against Napoleon, Callum Craythorne shuns the Lake District folk, and most of all his sweetheart, Sophie Ingram. After trying to forget the war in the shallow frivolities of London, he finally returns to the Lake District, only to be caught in a snowstorm.
In a fevered dream, Callum fantasizes he seduces Sophie, only to wake and discover the dream is real. Sophie just wants him to love her again, even if she has to tie him to the bed to get him to admit he loves her. Their bodies know the truth, but will their hearts discover it?

"4 Stars!...An enticing story that will keep you enthralled from start to finish. This is a well-written, sensual tale. I loved the characters created by Miss Shawler. Lovers of historical erotica will enjoy Restrained Hearts. I hope to see more from this talented author in the near future."—Josephine Piraneo, TellTalePress
"...A heart-warming story of a man who has been ravaged by war...Leanne Shawler has a created a quick but delightful short story, set in Regency England in the wilds of The Lake District...An enjoyable read and a good start to a writing career that I hope to see more of in the future."—Gail Northam, Roundtable Reviews
"...A regency-set historical, an emotional story with passionate sex scenes, and the hero and heroine play 'naughty' tricks on each other, which spice up the story even more. This Amber Kiss was just perfect enough to make me keep a watch out for any erotica this author may write in the future..."—Lizzy Benway, Taste The Erotic
"Ms. Shawler's debut novella is quite amazing. In a short space, she made me care deeply for these characters. I wanted to see them happy, wanted to see their emotional wounds healed and above all, wanted them to have a very happily-ever-after. Sophia and Callum possessed depth, a hard thing to write in a short space; they were also ripe with inner character, you couldn't help but admire their steadfastness to remaining true themselves. As this is an erotic romance, Ms. Shawler did bring a wonderful amount of heat to a genre that rarely sees it. Ms. Shawler's full-length Regency, Dangerous to Know will be out in Spring 2005; it's one Regency I'm really looking forward to reading. I highly recommend you read Restrained Hearts ; it's a very entertaining read."—Sharyn McGinty, In The Library Reviews
Read a short excerpt...
Sophie awakened some time near dawn, curled up and cocooned in a delicious, tingling warmth. She wanted to fall back asleep, but a weight lay across her. Befuddled, she wondered at it. Then, she remembered.
Callum.
In his sleep, he'd rolled over and draped an arm around her, claiming a breast that had slipped free of her protective blanket. His large hand covered much, but not all of it. His breath heated her neck.
Unsure what to do, she lay still. She should take some action. If Callum woke to find his hand holding…she didn't want to think of the embarrassment.
He stirred.
Perhaps he'll roll over.
His fingers contracted then relaxed. She bit back a gasp. His damnably intimate touch felt good. Too good…
