Nora Roberts nás v příběhu Ledová růže zavede na ostrov zakletý do věčné zimy. Jeho odvážná mladá královna jednoho dne nalezne zraněného rytíře, který na pokraji smrti beznadějně zabloudil v mrazivé pustině.
Růže a meč od Jill Gregory vypráví o statečné dědičce trůnu, jejíž říši ovládl zlý čaroděj.
Růže z Glenrossu nechtějí kvést, přestože o ně - alespoň v pohádce Ruth Ryan Langan - pečuje půvabná dívka a neohrožený skotský válečník.
Na turnaj, jehož cenou má být ruka královské dcery, přijíždí tajemný cizinec. Jak se ale zdá, princezna není jen jedna, a tak rozzlobený rytíř odjíždí do smrtelného nebezpečí. Jakže to všechno dopadne? To už si přečtěte v příběhu Nejkrásnější růže autorky Marianne Willman.
