Is it alliterative enough, though?

And this sounds like something that might break fandom:

583) Sins of the Soul by Eve Silver
Rose Tyler’s world shattered when she learned that her father the Twelfth Doctor was the Underworld god of chaos and evil.
All that saved her from self-destruction were her newfound sisters and the bond they shared as soul reapers. So when one of her sisters is murdered, vengeance becomes Rose’s obsession. And the enigmatic Dave Lister, a witness – or is he the killer? – has the answers she seeks.
A reluctant Underworld enforcer, Dave trusts no one, especially not a seductive soul reaper who makes him burn with lust. Torn between duty and desire, he fights to keep his secrets safe from Rose, even as he longs to surrender…


584) Goddess of Fate by Alexandra Sokoloff
Fated to Fall in Love…
the Tenth Doctor doesn’t believe in fate. Especially when ‘Fate’ is supposedly a gorgeous god named Arnold Rimmer who claims to be his guardian, assigned from birth to watch over him.
Arnold is meant to protect his mortal charges… not fall in love with them. But when Ten is shot dead, his protective instincts are matched by a deeper need. To save his life, Arnold must convince Ten to believe who he is and trust him to help him.
But with just one day to do so, time is running out for Arnold to prove that love really can alter fate…

(Bad luck, Ten...)


585) The Witch and the Werewolf by Michele Hauf
The werewolf's fate rested in the witch's hands . . .
Jo Grant is a quirky witch who’s on a quest to complete a dark spell that will grant her immortality – at the expense of using a live vampire's heart in the spell. She's ready to conjure that dangerous and life-changing spell, until she meets a lone werewolf and beekeeper.
Lydia Bennet has secrets of her own. Her alpha allure is obvious, but Jo senses that there’s something more to her than her raw sexiness. When Lydia entrusts her with a devastating revelation, Jo has to make a choice. Will she now sacrifice the most potent magic she’s ever worked on to be with the woman she loves?

586) Royal Enchantment by Sharon Ashwood
He married the king. He wanted the man.
Marvin the Paranoid Android's marriage to Del Tarrant was a political partnership, never a romance. Kerr Avon knows that the king's court, newly restored at a medieval theme park, will only be complete if he has his lord. Little did anyone suspect that once Marvin gets a taste of twenty-first-century freedoms that this ancient king would lose interest in belonging to any man – even a royal one.
It takes a dragon and passionate nights spent in each other's arms to lure him back to his husband's side. Del is willing to accept Marvin's help in protecting the new Camelot from a fae menace, but the bigger challenge will be wooing back Marvin for a second chance at love…

(Okay, it was worth it. Also that prompt makes weird sense of everything...)


588) Lingering Shadows by Penny Jordan
Out of the shadows of the past. Linked by ambition and passion and held apart by the sins of the fathers…
Money, power, influence – Bobbie Parkhurst had inherited it all from her manipulative, empire-building father. But just how much of her business had been built at the expense of others' shattered hopes and dreams? Only a visit to English company, Carey Chemicals, could answer Bob's questions.
Ambitious, relentless, driven – the Master, corporate raider, knew just when to close in on ailing companies. Respected and feared in the business world, the Master had pursued his career single-mindedly, to the detriment of love and family. his life at a crossroads, he was now set to carry out one last transaction: moving in on Carey's – a company ripe for takeover.
Sensitive, intense, determined– Kathryn Janeway had been forced to suppress her warmth and sensuality, first by her domineering father and then by her unfaithful wife. Now, a beautiful widow, she had stopped yearning for love, turning her energies instead into confronting the business giants who sought to take her inheritance – Carey's – away from her. A confrontation which was to have unexpected and far-reaching consequences….

I somehow don't think that's going to wind up in a threesome either.


591) Seducing the Dark Prince by Jane Kindred
Gwen Cooper happens to be the crown princess of Hell, a legacy she despises. River Song tries to convince herself that she’s only interested in Gwen because of her family’s role in the persecution of her ancestors. Their mutual attraction might be her downfall – or her salvation.

I suppose these things just happen at Torchwood, really.

Lord Del Tarrant flees his unwanted betrothal to an elderly warlord, only to be hunted down and returned to King the Fifth Doctor’s court by fearsome Lydia Bennet, Lady of Roul, a legendary warrior with a heart of ice — and a kiss of fire. Now Del is bound to Lydia — and to her bed — when Lydia is commanded to wed him instead!

NOt something Lydia'd have a problem with, I feel. Unless Dayna came after them...


604) Forbidden Jewel of India by Louise Allen

Nyssa of Traken is in danger. The daughter of an Indian princess and an English peer, she's the perfect pawn in the opulent courts of Rajasthan.
Even so, she will not return to the father who rejected her. Arrogant angrezi Major Tegan Jovanka is charged with bringing the alluring Princess safely to her new life in Calcutta. Tegan's mission is to protect, to serve - but under the searing Indian sun an initial attraction unfurls into a forbidden temptation. This beautiful, impossible Princess tests the very limits of her honour - especially when Tegan is left with only one option to keep Nyssa safe: marriage. But the fast-flowing waters of the Ganges determine a different fate, and duty may separate them for ever…

Though Jamie McCrimmon captured Six in the name of revenge, he can’t ignore his instinct to protect him. Although to love him might bring the wrath of his enemies down upon them…

(I think the generator is sharing the M&B authors' general Celtic confusion there.)


607) The Saint by Tiffany Reisz
Gutsy, green-eyed B'Elanna Torres never met a rule she didn't want to break. She’s sick of her father's zealotry and the confines of Catholic school, and declares she'll never go to church again. But her first glimpse of beautiful, magnetic Reverend Bill Potts and her lust-worthy Italian motorcycle is an epiphany.
Suddenly, daily Mass seems like a reward, and her punishment is the ache she feels when they’re apart.
She is intelligent and insightful and she seems to know her intimately at her very core. B'Elanna is consumed — and even she knows that can't be right. But when one desperate mistake nearly costs B'Elanna everything, it is Bill who steps in to save her. She vows to repay her with complete obedience… and a whole world opens before her as she reveals to her her deepest secrets.
Danger can be managed—pain, welcomed.
Everything is about to begin.

Pre-law student Romanadvoratrelundar is fresh off a failed engagement and happy with her new independence. Even if she weren’t warned away from the Master at every turn, she’d know he was bad news. The last thing she needs is an older man who could destroy her job prospects, not to mention her innocence. But before she knows it, the incorrigible charmer has her under his spell. His deviant tastes plunge her deep into a forbidden world of sexual exploration… but her heart may not survive the fall.


609) The King by Tiffany Reisz
A woman who can’t be tamed…
Bouncing from bed to bed on the Upper East Side, Donna Noble is brilliant, beautiful and utterly debauched. No one can relieve her self-destructive appetite for carnal acts – except Jamie McCrimmon, a man she can never have but whom she has always loved.
A dream that becomes an obsession…
When Donna opens the ultimate BDSM club in Jamie’s honour – a dungeon playground for New York’s A-list – it becomes her life. With the help of a secretive new assistant, she is soon ruler of a debauched new world.
A fight to the end…
But their expertise in domination can’t stop the enigmatic Reverend Sam Tyler – he won’t rest until the club is destroyed. Now it’s one sacred mission against another…

(Who is really the Master in this case, right? 0_o)


610) Lord Atwood’s Lovers by Eva Clancy
To the rest of the ton, Lady Barbara Wright and Lord Ian Chesterton seem to have the perfect marriage.

Would you like some more summaries? I recently picked up an old Romance novel and have some new older ones, including:

A Lady's Champion - Janice Bennett

Miss Daphne, art mistress of the Selwood Academy for Young Ladies, greeted the notion of ghosts haunting the academy with skepticism. However, to avoid rumors frightening off students, she found herself turning to Mr. Adrian Carstairs, sent by her uncle to be her "protector" against the "ghosts." Although, Daphne would accept no interference in her life, she would accept aid in exposing any spectral spirits. What she never expected was for Adrian to expose the secret wishes of her hidden heart...

The Highway Man - Nadine Crenshaw
When a trumped up murder charge forced beautiful Jane Fitzpatrick to flee her home, she was found and sheltered by the highwayman - a man as dark and dangerous as the secrets that haunted him. As their hiding place became a place of shared dreams - and soaring desires - Jane knew she'd found the love she'd been yearning for!

Silken Spurs - Jane Archer
beautiful Harmony Harper, leader of a notorious outlaw gang, rode the desert plains of New Mexico in search of justice and vengeance. Now she has captured powerful and privileged Thor Clarke-Jargon, who is everything Harmony has ever hated - and all she will ever want. And after Harmony has taken the handsome adventurer hostage, she herself has become a captive - of her own desires!


An Inconvenient Engagement - Joy reed
Rebecca Wentworth was furious when she saw her betrothed waltzing with another. So she decides to make him jealous by flirting with the handsomest man at the ball, John Collinwood, Earl of Stanford.

If people spot errors in the Unconventional Courtship summaries, do you want to know? No. 403 has got a promised bride who should turn into a promised groom and doesn't. (Mind you, I'm sure someone somewhere *has* done the Fifth Doctor as a bride...)
