About this ebook

A Welsh Methodist minister's daughter changes her life when she appeals for help to Nicholas Davies, a half-Gypsy earl... They called him the Demon Earl. They said he could do anything. Son of a rogue and a Gypsy, Nicholas Davies was a notorious rake until a shattering betrayal left him alone and embittered in the Welsh countryside. Desperation drives quiet schoolteacher Clare Morgan to ask the Demon Earl to help save her village. Unwilling to involve himself in the problems of others, Nicholas sets an impossible price on his aid—only if Clare agrees to live with him for three months, letting the world think the worst, will he intervene. Furiously Clare accepts his outrageous challenge, and the two are swept into an intoxicating Regency world of danger and desire. As allies, Clare and Nicholas fight to save her community. As adversaries, they explore the hazardous terrain of power and sensuality. And as lovers, they surrender to a passion that threatens the very foundations of their lives. * RITA Award and Golden Choice finalist. “Both sublimely romantic and scorchingly sensual, Thunder and Roses is and extraordinary romance from an extraordinary author.” * Melinda Helfer, Romantic Times “Ms. Putney has powerfully conveyed the healing power of love and deftly woven in humorous elements for a wonderful read.” * Gigi Rounds, Affaire de Coeur

About the author

A New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author, Mary Jo Putney was born in Upstate New York with a reading addiction, a condition for which there is no known cure. Her entire romance writing career is an accidental byproduct of buying a computer for other purposes. Her novels are known for psychological depth and intensity and include historical and contemporary romance, fantasy, and young adult fantasy. Winner of numerous writing awards, including two RITAs and two Romantic Times Career Achievement awards, she had many books listed among the top romances of the year by Library Journal and Booklist, the magazine of the American Library Association. She also writes young adult historical fantasy as M. J. Putney. Her favorite reading is great stories, but in a pinch she’ll settle for the backs of cereal boxes. She’s delighted that e-publishing can now make available books that have been out of print. Visit her website at www.maryjoputney.com
