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.

Intrigued by the symbol on his blade, Myrna chooses Ragnar for her husband. But how is she to love a man who lives in the past? Determined to remain faithful to his deceased wife, Ragnar both fights and craves Myrna, hungry for her healing touch. Will he give in and find sanctuary in her arms? Or will the shocking truth about his dagger end love before it begins?

Ragnar is one of nine provocatively sensual tales within the Viking Surrender series. 

Stories of suspense, seduction and adventure, told against the forbidding backdrop of medieval Scotland.

Journey together with indomitable heroes and intrepid heroines, as they discover that the raging storms of fear and passion can transform into enduring devotion.

A horde of battle-hardened, ferocious Nordic warriors.

A Pictish village at the mercy of its enemies.

A harrowing bargain struck for nine fearful and reluctant brides.

Delivered into Viking hands, claimed and conquered, each bride must accept that she belongs to her new master. But, as wedding nights bring surrender to duty, will fierce lovers also surrender their hearts?

The Highland wilderness is savage, life is perilous, and the future uncertain, but each Viking has sworn protection, and there are no lengths to which a man will not go to safeguard the woman he loves.

For those who've already read the nine Viking romances (via the boxed set of 'Vikings')... each author has now added an epilogue, so you can find out what happens next for each hero and heroine.

Breaking the Rules for Love. A Scot's Pledge. #mustread

Ready for more delicious MacLomain Highlanders and their strong, independent modern-day Broun lasses? Tiernan and Julie’s story is now available for pre-order!!

I’m lovin’ these two, but then I’m a total sucker for a ‘friends to lovers’ tale. Not to mention Tiernan’s son to the infamous Adlin MacLomain and I adore Julie, who’s been in several books over the years (Viking Heart, A Viking Holiday and Destiny’s Dragon). She’s one of those ‘left behind’ characters I felt deserved her own Happily Ever After.

Grab your copy here→ https://amzn.to/2k3O8B7

About the Book

From friends to lovers, forbidden passion sparks between a modern day woman and a medieval Highland warrior.

Accustomed to watching over things for Clan MacLomain and their Viking ancestors, Julie has given up hope of traveling back in time for love like those before her. Until the day an old friend turned crush shows up on her doorstep in New Hampshire claiming he needs help in fourteenth century Scotland.

Having pledged to help his clan, Laird Tiernan MacLomain searches for his destined Broun in the twenty-first century. Yet he only wants the woman he’s secretly loved for years. So he breaks the rules and brings Julie back to the medieval period with him. She might lack the bloodline needed to harness the power of the Claddagh, but he won’t leave her behind.

Together, they embark on a whirlwind quest to protect King David II against Edward Balliol and his disenfranchised nobles, the ‘disinherited.’ They also face a dark threat nobody foresaw. Will Tiernan and Julie defeat it without the power of predestined love? Or will breaking the rules be their ultimate downfall and Scotland’s ruin? Find out in A Scot’s Pledge, an emotional and passionate journey into the turbulent onset of the Second War of Scottish Independence.

Brandr - by Ashe Barker

Forced to wed a fierce Viking warlord to save her people, Eithne must surrender to her husband’s stern discipline, yet his tenderness takes her breath away. A man of his word, Brandr vows to protect her village from its enemies. But what of Eithne? Who will protect her as she learns to care for this ferocious man who now leads her people and holds her heart in his mighty hands?

Steinn - by Lily Harlem

Married to a barbaric beast, Gladys cannot believe her bad fortune. A rough and raw Norseman has taken to her home and her bed as if it’s his right. But never fear, she has plans to do away with him, to rid him from her life…for good.

Steinn is thankful to the gods for his good luck. His new bride Gladys is a sexy little wild cat with curves and an ass to die for. Admittedly she needs a little training, and a fair bit of discipline, but he’ll take her in hand if it’s the last thing he does. Won’t he?

Magnus - by Emmanuelle de Maupassant

Magnus is tortured by memories of his wife’s murder at the hands of savage berserkers, yet commanded to wed.  The valiant warrior finds unexpected passion in his new bride’s arms, but can Modwen’s love heal the wounds of his battle-scarred heart—or will another’s jealousy destroy them both?

Graeme - by Gianna Simone

Maimed and bitter, Graeme is forced to take a wife from the barbarians invading his shores. Resentful of her invading his solitary life, he vows to bend her to his will.  Rinda grudgingly weds a man she barely knows—who hates her nearly as much as she despises him. Yet, despite their shared animosity, the wounded warrior and shield-maiden share an unexpected passion that soon consumes them both.

Thorolf - by Vanessa Brooks

Ailsa, a woman scarred by the brutality of men, knowing peace only in the depths of the forest. Thorolf, a cunning warrior, as fierce as the wolves Ailsa adores. Enemies bound by marriage, their attraction is undeniable. But can her Viking husband tame Ailsa’s wounded heart?
