About the Book

 A widowed Englishwoman with a difficult past and a battle-weary broken Highlander come together in a tale of redemption.

Haunted by a dark past and resolved to a loveless future, Greer Hastings has accepted her lot in life. She will marry a man of her uncle’s choosing to better their family’s station. First, however, she will see her friend and her children freed from her uncle’s clutches. An impossible feat. Or so it seems until her long-lost mother returns alongside a Scotsman who makes an offer she can’t refuse.

Teagan MacLauchlin will do whatever it takes to see through the pact he made with his brothers. Marry to fill the clan’s coffers. What he doesn’t expect is a lass as broken as he on the other side of that bargain. Someone truly in need of saving. Determined to free Greer from her greedy uncle and depraved fiancĂ©, he’ll do anything to get her out of there. Even if it means bringing the wrath of two English barons down on his head.

Embarking on a dangerous rescue mission in hostile territory, Teagan and Greer navigate the treacherous English-Scottish border on an adventure for the ages. One fraught with not just the monsters chasing them but the demons from their past.

Can two damaged hearts come together amidst so much turmoil? Or will what haunts them ultimately drive them apart?

The Grand Finale has Arrived! #MacLomains


Hello, all! Hope you're having a wonderful autumn so far and staying safe. It's hard to believe the holidays are already upon us. In my household, that means getting the Christmas decorations out a little early this year for some much-needed cheer.

Speaking of cheer, I'm thrilled (& a little sad) to announce the grand finale of the entire Maclomain Series has arrived. It's amazing to think I began this series over a decade ago. It's since gone on to total 26 stories (not including all the Viking Ancestor books). I'll miss each and every character. Not to say Maclomains won't still pop into various stories over the years.

Anyway, we're not quite at the end yet. That said, I give you the last amazing MacLomain couple in A Scot's Retribution. Just wait until you read their role in all this! 

Until next time, wishing everyone a wonderful holiday season! 



Will a noble warrior find solace in the arms of the lass he's loved since the beginning? Or is his soul already damned and the fate of Scotland doomed? Find out in A Scot's Retribution, the steamy edge-of-your-seat epic conclusion of the entire MacLomain Series. 

So far, four couples have ignited the power of the Claddagh ring in an ongoing battle against evil. As each tale unravels, the MacLomains and their kin learn more about why they were targeted and what it will take to stop the enemy. Now, despite the odds stacked against them, Laird Marek MacLeod and his Broun lass come together to keep history on track and protect King David II in a passionate tale of intrigue and magic. 

Roll back the clock and join the MacLomains one last time on a whirlwind adventure for the ages. Travel to ancient Ireland and medieval Scotland in an explosive saga rich with wizards, witches, dragon shifters, Fae and so much more!

The next Viking Ancestors series is right around the corner. This time we’re following the children born of the couples from Viking Ancestors: Rise of the Dragon in five action packed romantic adventures.

 Leviathan

 An explosive enemies-to-lovers tale teeming with wicked secrets and fiery passion.

The only thing Destiny knows is her name, but who’s complaining? She lives in a beautiful million dollar seaside chalet in Winter Harbor, Maine without a care in the world. At least until a psychic shows up at her front door claiming Destiny’s true identity is remarkable. She must remember who she is. What she’s meant to do. If that isn’t enough, her house isn’t her own, and her fate tied to a man in the distant past. A fierce, brooding Viking who’s too arrogant for his own good yet sinfully alluring. 

Leviathan doesn’t believe in love or fated mates, so the woman he saved shouldn’t be haunting his thoughts. Especially considering they barely got along. Yet now, thanks to the fire he used to keep Destiny alive, the feisty, stunning redhead is put in his path once more. Worse yet, she might be the foretold Sigdir who sparks the next Great War. That means she must die by his blade once and for all. 

Will Leviathan be able to end Destiny to save everyone? Or is it already too late, and she’s found her way into a heart he didn’t know he had? Find out as they embark on an epic dragon shifter romance adventure across time in Viking Ancestors: Forged in Fire. Expect through-the-roof passion, a host of nasty villains, and an array of happily-ever-afters that won’t come easily.

Scoundrel's Fortune. #HistoricalRomance

 

Hi, there! I’m thrilled to announced Malcolm and Isabella’s tale, Scoundrel’s Fortune (Highlander’s Pact, Book 2), is now available. I never saw their particular storyline coming, but truly loved it. It’s an ironic enemies-to-lovers tale with an unexpected twist that both surprised me and warmed my heart. Hope it will yours too! 

Scoundrel's Fortune
Highlander's Pact, Book 2

When a beautiful yet cunning Frenchwoman tries to trick a Scottish scoundrel, passionate mayhem ensues.

After accusing Malcolm MacLauchlin of taking her virtue, Isabella De la Croix sets sail for Scotland to marry him. Or so everyone assumes. In truth, no such thing will happen. Not to a scoundrel like him. Instead, treasure awaits and a new life beyond the clutches of her cruel father.

Doomed to wed a lass he dislikes, Malcolm must see through his pact with his brothers. Marry to fill the clan’s coffers. Yet when the De la Croix ship sails by without stopping, he suspects foul play. As it happens, deception is indeed at work. Not just at the hands of the pirates who captured Isabella but what he learns upon saving her.

Embarking on a whirlwind adventure with more nefarious suitors than any one lass should have, Malcolm marries Isabella to keep her safe. After Hogmanay, if she wants to leave, he’ll let her go. What neither counts on, however, is mutual attraction. A genuine connection they didn’t foresee.

Will it be enough to keep them together when shocking secrets come to light, though? Or will the cold hard truth about who Malcolm really is ultimately drive them apart?

The Countdown Has Begun! #HighlandRomance



Waving hello! Hope you and yours are doing well and staying safe. It’s hard to believe summer’s winding down, and school’s right around the corner. My son’s starting high school virtually here in Virginia, so that should be interesting. Fingers crossed things return to normal soon!

I won’t keep you long but wanted to share the latest. With the release of A Scot’s Favor, the 'countdown' to the end of the entire MacLomain Series has officially begun. Where did the time go? It seems like I started writing about this clan yesterday rather than over a decade ago. Anyway, I loved penning this latest installment. If you’re a fan of animals and enjoy unraveling a magical curse, this one’s definitely for you. 

About the Book

A passionate enemies-to-lovers tale rife with haunting intrigue and unholy secrets.

Determined to save his wolf from a trap and confront his enemy, Ethyn Maclomain travels from fourteenth-century Scotland to twenty-first-century New Hampshire only to find the unexpected. He was the one lured into a trap. Now his destiny is inexplicably tied to another. His soul not entirely his own.

Will Ethyn and his destined Broun be able to break the spell that both binds them together yet keeps them apart? The price they paid for forbidden love long ago? Or will the curse that’s held them hostage for centuries mark the beginning of a dark end? Find out in A Scot’s Favor, a fast-paced quest to save Berwick-Upon-Tweed and free love long held under siege.

What a Scoundrel! #HistoricalRomance



Hello, all! I hope everyone's enjoying their summer so far and staying super-safe during these trying times. I’m halfway through my busiest writing year to date and loving all the new characters I've met along the way. I won’t keep you long but wanted to share my latest news.

Scoundrel’s Vengeance, book one in my Highlander’s Pact series, is now available. As many of you know from various MacLomain stories, the MacLauchlins haven’t had it easy over the years, and their struggles continue in this latest series. Nevertheless, like their ancestors and descendants (those from my Pirates of Britannia stories), they always supersede and find their ‘Happily Ever After.’ Please keep in mind, like the POB stories, this latest series is strictly historical romance.

About the Book

A scandalous second-chance romance rife with passion, intrigue, and a life-altering secret.

Despondent from years of war, Keenan returns home to find his clan has been reduced not only in numbers from plague, but the family coffers are nearly depleted. Dedicated to restoring his clan pride, Keenan strikes a bargain with his brothers, they will each marry, but not for love, only for the generous dowries their future wives will bring.

Fionna has suffered the consequences of endless wars and plague, leaving her the unlikely laird of Clan Taylor. When her past love summons her to his keep under the threat of killing her clansmen he captured trying to steal horses, she has no choice but to meet him.

There she discovers a man much changed, heartless and bitter. Especially when he demands that Fionna help him get engaged to her best friend!

Unable to deny him, Fionna plays along, waiting for the right moment to strike, save her clansmen, and celebrate teaching Keenan the hardest lesson of his life.

But not everything is what it seems, and Keenan and Fionna discover that distance and time cannot change what their hearts truly want—each other.

Hot Highlanders Anyone? #HistoricalRomance



Waving hello! I hope everyone’s doing okay in these trying times. Virginia’s in Phase II of reopening, so things are slowly but surely getting to the ‘new normal.’ Of course, I’m writing away with more releases this year than ever before. 

While my MacLomain series nears its end, its ally the MacLauchlin clan is just launching. For those who might’ve missed it, I contracted my MacLauchlin series with Dragonblade Publishing over a year ago and am thrilled to announce Scoundrel’s Vengeance (Highlander’s Pact, Book 1) is now available for pre-order.

As many know from various MacLomain stories, the MacLauchlins haven’t had it easy over the years, and their struggles continue in this latest series. Nevertheless, like their ancestors and descendants (those from my Pirates of Britannia stories), they always supersede and find their ‘Happily Ever After.’ Please keep in mind, like the POB stories, this latest series is strictly historical romance.
