The plot of the novel deals with the lives of the main characters, Earl Ranaulf de Wardbrooke or Black Lyon, as he was called, and Lady Lyonene.
The novel is set in England, United Kingdom and introduces Black Lyon as a highly rich and darkly handsome English conqueror. Having the real name Earl Wardrooke, he was often called as the Black Lyon because of his fierceness similar to that of a lion. Lyon was very rich and bold enough. There was no one like him to match his characteristics and fierceness. Lyon was considered to be one of his kind and was treated as superior to everyone else. He was so bold that there was no woman in his entire kingdom who could become his right match. However, when he meets Lyonene, he begins to fall for her and starts thinking of her as his future life partner. Lyonene is introduced in the novel as a beautiful woman with green eyes and a fiery spirit. She had all the qualities that make her the right match of the Black Lyon. Soon, the two enter into a whirlwind romance and endure each other into a stormy marriage. However, destiny had decided something else for the love birds as jealousy and vicious lies start showing their effects in their lives. Soon, Lyonene gets separated from Lyon and is forced to move into the grave danger across the Irish Sea. It was obvious that only one man could save her from her miserable life, and that was none other than the Black Lyon himself. Only he had the courage to destroy the shackles of the ruthless plot that had made them move apart from each other. The Black Lyon is determined to save Lyonene in order to protect their bond of love and keep it intact as they had vowed that it would ever be broken in any situation. After several interesting twists and turns in their lives, the Black Lyon becomes successful in winning his love back and spending the rest of his romantic life with Lyonene peacefully.
The second novel of the series was published in the year 1991 by the Pocket Books publishing house. The novel was titled ‘The Duchess’. The plot of the novel is set in London, England, United Kingdom and deals with the lives of the main characters, Claire Willoughby, Trevelyan MacArran and Harry Montgomery. The novel is set during the time of the year 1883. In the opening sequence of the novel, Claire Willoughby is introduced as an heir to a fortune worth millions of her grandfather. But, she is in a dilemma as her grandfather has asked her to marry an acceptable man if she wants to inherit his fortune. She is at the risk of losing everything if she does not follow the words of her grandfather. The next character introduced in the novel is Harry Montgomery, who is depicted as the eleventh Duke of MacArran. He seemed to be the perfect match for Claire as he was the owner of a historic castle and looked manly enough in his kilt with the title of Scotsman, similar to that of the Bonnie Prince Charlie. Soon, the engagement of Claire and Harry is announced. Claire seems to be assured of her future as a duchess as she prepares herself to set off to meet the Montgomery clan in Scotland along with her family. When they arrive at Bramley Castle, it appeared to be a chill and damp place, full of eccentric relatives of the Montgomery family.
A secretive and brooding man named Trevelyan also lived in the ancient walls of the Bramley Castle. Claire seemed to interested in Trevelyan as she found him to be fascinating. He was not like Harry and had an arrogant and exasperating attitude. But still Claire began to fall for his fascinating charm. It appeared as if her life was going to be turned upside down as her marriage to Harry Montgomery was coming nearer day by day and she was falling in love with Trevelyan MacArran.
