Yet more unconventionality
I (for reasons*) made a B7 minor characters version of the Unconventional Courtship generator.
I think the results came out as a special brand of crack (and I didn't even have to put Bayban in it). Usually, I click through a bunch of suggestions and pick out the best, but these were all priceless. Worst of all, why are half of them so scarily plausible?
Basically, Anna Grant is dangerous, but we all knew that - and also a Highlander! Jarvik falls victim to mpreg because the universe has some justice in it after all, and Deeta can't tell the difference between an actual fire and a metaphor. Plus, Carnal Conte Carnell!
250) His Counterfeit Condesa by Joanna Fulford
The Major and the wild English rose
Major Deeta Tarrant does not approve of Wellington sending a woman on a perilous mission across French-occupied Spain, but he can see that Miss Anna Grant is no ordinary miss! The marriage-shy major and the English rose must pose as the Conde and Condesa de Ordoñez, travelling to a high society ball, and soon Deeta doesn't know what is more dangerous - the menacing shadow of French patrols, or the sensual torment of sharing a room with this tantalising beauty…
52)GETTING IT GOOD! by RHONDA NELSON
Carnell is exactly where he wants to be in life. He is known as the Carnal Conte, the resident sexpert for CHIC magazine, and his outrageous suggestions for flavouring sex have propelled him to semi-stardom. But when the magazine pairs him up with sexy Deva, aka The Duke of Desire, he knows where he’ll end up - in his bed. And he plans to enjoy it…
Deva isn’t happy to learn that he’s been set up to give sex advice to thousands of men. There’s only one man he wants, and he’d like to personally demonstrate just how much he knows. Still, this temporary partnership - in and out of bed - might be exactly what he needs to get Carnell out of his system for good. But it doesn’t look like there’s anything temporary about it…
328) What His Money Can't Hide - Maggie Cox
The man with the golden touch
Deeta Tarrant has defied his under-privileged, unloved upbringing to become a world-famous architect. With a house in Mayfair and a platinum card to buy anything he wants, his past is well and truly behind him. Until he’s called back home to revitalise his family’s ailing fortunes…
Meegat has been duped by the trappings of wealth before - a man with money isn’t enough to impress her! So when Deeta strides into her small town like Midas himself she’s determined not to be branded by his touch. But when she’s faced with the sheer force of Deeta, that’s more easily said than done…
242) Strangers at the Altar by Marguerite Kaye
For penniless widower Del Grant, marriage is the only solution. He's vulnerable yet fiercely independent, so shackling himself to another woman seems horrifying! Until handsome stranger Anna Grant tempts Del to become her temporary husband.
Once married, Del hardly recognizes the rugged Highlander Anna transforms into! She sets his long-dormant pulse racing, and he's soon craving the enticing delights of their marriage bed. He has until Hogmanay to show Anna that their fake marriage could be for real…
318) Waterford Point by Alana Matthews
The perfect getaway was what Meegat expected, not a real-life mystery that could become her next bestseller. Escaping California for Waterford Point, Maine, was supposed to be all rest and relaxation. But instead of breakfast in bed, Meegat experienced night terrors, and woke to the cries of the Weeping Willow….
Carnell didn't like two things: chasing ghosts, and out-of-towners snooping around. Meegat didn't want to tangle with the sheriff, but found it hard to stay away. Despite Carnell's picture-perfect scowl and reprimands, there was more going on beneath the surface, and it needed further investigation. And what she found was a courageous hero who would give her something better than a storybook ending.
418) Seduce and Rescue - Jillian Burns
Lieutenant Colonel Deeta Tarrant is having his very first massage with a rather eccentric, but smokin’-hot redhead, Klyn.
But her touch isn’t so much calming as it is very distracting. When he accidentally sets Klyn’s business and home ablaze, Deeta can’t tell if the smouldering is from the fire...or their attraction to each other!
But now Deeta’s condo is invaded by the free-spirited Klyn, who’s convinced that he’s the one who really needs to be rescued.
And Klyn’s methods? Well, they’re not so traditional. Still, Deeta can’t remember having his chakras aligned so… er, intensely. But will this be rescue - or retreat?
363) Small-Town Fireman - Allie Pleiter
The Catch of a Lifetime
Deva doesn’t belong in Gordon Falls. The aspiring restaurateur has far loftier goals than running his grandfather’s quaint coffee shop. The only person who seems to relate is handsome volunteer firefighter Tyce. Tyce understands dreams - she risked everything to start her fishing charter business. Now, she needs Deva’s help to make it succeed. As they work together, Deva and Tyce quickly discover that while their timing may be bad, their chemistry is undeniable. Deva always thought of Gordon Falls as a layover on his way to a big city career, but could it be where his heart truly belongs?
116) Dealing Her Final Card- Jennie Lucas
‘If my card is higher you’ll belong to me, obeying my every whim for as long as I desire.’ As Anna Grant hears the icy words of Russian Prince Carnell, the man whose ring she once wore and whose life she once ruined, she nervously accepts the biggest wager of her life. Her body for a million dollars. Anna knows better than to doubt the steely ruthlessness of this man. With everything to lose, and the weight of Carnell's gaze upon her, she will have to play the best she’s ever played - or run the risk of losing herself completely…
20)LONETREE RANCHERS: COLT by Kathie DeNosky
All it took was one glance at the toddler in Jarvik’s arms for Kasabi to know the two-year-old was hers. Duty demanded that she do right by father and child so she swept them off to her ranch. Trouble was, spending day and night in such close proximity made the rodeo heartthrob realise that Jarvik still stoked her passion. Although he resisted his attraction to her, she knew she’d do almost anything to claim him as her own, once and for all!
323) Emergency: Wife Lost and Found - Carol Marinelli
Marriage reunited - in A&E!
Every emergency doctor dreaded recognising someone in Casualty - even cool-headed consultant Jarriere. But he was doubly shocked when the unconscious patient he was asked to treat was instantly familiar. It was his ex-husband!
Dr Carnell hated being ill, hated being stuck in a hospital bed, but above all he hated having to rely on Jarriere. Then, as he recovered, all the wonderful things about their marriage came flooding back…
340) The Highlander's Redemption - Marguerite Kaye
RELUCTANT SAVIOUR… WILLING SEDUCER
On her first night in Scotland, Meegat is rescued from danger by brooding Highlander Anna Grant… Why Anna agrees to take Meegat under her protection, she doesn’t know - the unconquerable demons of her warrior past are burden enough without adding the demands of one bewitchingly brave Frenchwoman! Yet her innocence soothes the jagged edges of her soul, and her beauty fires her blood… She might be her reluctant saviour, but she’ll be her willing seducer…
319) Undercover Lovers by Julie Kenner
SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO GET INTO BED WITH THE ENEMY…
That's exactly what FBI agent Anna Grant is afraid of. Especially after she learns that her first undercover assignment will involve going into a sex resort, posing as the wife of her longtime nemesis - and nightly fantasy - gorgeous Klyn. Which wouldn't be so bad, except that, years ago, she'd almost made it into Klyn's bed. And she's afraid that once she gets there, she won't be able to leave…
After years of undercover work, all Klyn wants is a little peace. But when her final assignment pairs her with Anna, she decides to go for one last fling, too! The sexy brunette has had her tied up in knots since they were both cadets. And now, given their new 'marital' status, Klyn can enjoy her 'wifely' rights until Anna's out of her system, once and for all. Little does she guess that this 'marriage' was meant to last.…
269) Sheltered by the Millionaire by Catherine Mann
Texas tycoon Del Grant has always been a thorn in Jarriere's side, especially when he tries to put the kibosh on his animal shelter. But when he saves his daughter during the worst tornado in recent memory, Jarriere sees beneath his prickly exterior to the hero underneath. Soon, the storm's recovery makes bedfellows of these opposites. Until Jarriere's old reflexes kick in-should he brace for betrayal or say yes to Del once and for all?
128) Unmasking Miss Lacey- Isabelle Goddard
STAND AND DELIVER! Incorrigible Jarvik, Earl of Frensham, with a scandal at his heels, is taking an enforced sojourn in the country. He hardly expects to confront a highwayman in this quiet retreat. Or to discover, when he lays hands on the villain, a form that is undeniably female... Should he unmask the daring Kasabi and hand her over to the law? Or follow his rakeish instincts to take the law and that temptingly curvaceous form into his own hands?
255) The Pirate's Willing Captive by Anne Herries
Kept for the pirate's pleasure!
Instinct told her that Captain Klyn was a woman she could trust. But how could this pirate, who had just stormed her ship, be a true woman of honour? Captive on the high seas, with nowhere to run, curiously Kasabi had never felt more free. If she returned to rigid society she'd become an old man's unwilling wife. If she stayed with Klyn she'd made it abundantly clear she would become her more than willing mistress…
... sorry?
(That Carnal Carnell one should clearly be a Kaldor City fic, not B7. Subsitute Iago for Deva... Or Uvanov...)
* boredom.
