Part 2
Hearts of the Highlands series featuring the MacPhersons
It’s the year of our Lord 1318, almost four years after Robert the Bruce’s forces took the battle at Bannockburn, re-establishing an independent Scottish kingdom. But the war isn’t over for three Highland brothers.
Hearts of the Highlands will feature heroes whose hearts are consumed with the darkness of pain, regret, guilt, and hatred, and the strong heroines who will do whatever it takes to lead them back to the light of living.

Highland Heirs Series (part 2) featuring The MacGregors
This continuation of the Highland Heirs series will feature four more of Camlochlin’s descendants. The stand-alone plotlines are set in the early eighteenth century. The MacGregor name is still proscribed, but that doesn’t stop heroes from leaving the safety of home to find what will make them happy. Upon their paths they discover that what they’re searching for lies within themselves. They had only needed someone to lead the way.
In A HIGHLANDER'S CHRISTMAS KISS, Cailean Grant needs someone to bring light to a dark path paved in anger, hate, and unforgiveness— dragons this Highland heir must face in the light in order to save his heart so that he could give it away.
In THE SCOT'S BRIDE Patrick MacGregor needs someone to lead a gallant knight’s rogue son on a path that will chip away parts of himself he is afraid to lose and lead him toward his true destiny.
In LAIRD OF THE BLACK ISLE Mailie MacGregor needs someone who will teach this saucy Highland heroine who is searching for a perfect hero, that the true wonder and beauty of a man are found in his imperfections.
And lastly, in HIGHLANDER EVER AFTER Adam MacGregor needs someone to show this Highland rogue with little regard for his heritage, the full power of love when he loses his heart to his reluctant bride, and then loses his bride because of his name.
Highland Honor is a four book series that spans the mountain ranges of Scotland to the deepest glens and highest peaks of four hearts about to discover the most powerful force running through their veins.
Honor.
Highland Heirs Series
featuring the MacGregors
As the eighteenth century heralds in with a new queen and a treaty that will unite the three kingdoms into Great Britain, the MacGregors of Skye live hidden from their enemies, nestled within the mountains surrounding Camlochlin. They are still proud, still fierce, emerging from the mists to strike when honor and duty to Scotland call. With the blood of the legendary laird of the mist flowing through their veins, Callum MacGregor’s grandchildren are no less troublesome and terrifying than the warriors who came before them. Most of the time they prefer to battle neighboring clansmen and an occasional fleet of privateers rather than ride all the way to England to kick the arses of men who wear wigs. There are, however, those more audacious sons who have been known to ride hard through the glens and straight into London’s private balls or tawdry brothels to strike at their enemieswhile their noble heads are absent of wig, and their arses of hose. Defiant plaids swinging about their brawny knees, they declare their names and make their points at the end of a Claymore.
Still, some would argue that the daughters are worse.
But whether they battle on the field, on the sea, or in the bedchamber, they live and love with the unbridled, untamable passion that belongs only to heirs to the Highlands.
Children of the Mist Series
featuring The MacGregors
It is 1685. King Charles II is dead and his brother James, Duke of York is about to be crowned the new King of England, Scotland, and Ireland. Knowing the importance of a Highland showing of support at the new king’s coronation, Callum takes his kin on a journey to England and into her courts, aged with intrigue, danger, and the
beginnings of civil unrest. He has no idea that he is leading his four bairns toward destinies that will forever change their lives—and onethat will ultimately bring the law down upon the MacGregors again.
The series covers the four unique paths taken by Callum MacGregor’s children. One that will cast his oldest son on a road to hellfire to rescue a lass crafted of stardust and secrets. Secrets that will sow the seeds of a new opposition called Jacobitism in the Highlands. Another of forbidden love that will spark an old feud between the MacGregors and the Fergusons, and force the laird’s second, rogue son to choose between love and loyalty. The path set for the Callum’s only daughter is paved with danger and childhood love gone sour. A path that will put to the test everything her heart truly desires, and lead a king to battle. The final path of that fateful journey to England will lure Callum’s youngest son into a life of duplicity as a Jacobite spy who infiltrates the noble courts of his enemy, and falls in love
with his enemy’s wife.
MacGregor Series
When ye're called the Devil, there isna much to prove to the world anymore save that the title is a deservin' one. I am an outlaw, a murderer, and a legend to be feared. I dinna seek fergiveness fer my many sins. My road to perdition has been long and my iniquities, too numerous and too savage fer redemption. There is naught in my soul but darkness, and I am driven by one purpose, to kill those who have created this beast no one dares call a man.
I wasna born from my mother's womb as such a detestable creature. I was formed in the dank dungeons of Kildun castle, home of my kin's lifelong enemies, the Campbells. Taken as a young lad by the Earl of Argyll after his men slaughtered everyone in my village, I was shackled to a wall and tortured fer my faither's crimes against the realm. My faither was an outlaw, as I am. His crime was refusin' to surrender his name durin' the MacGregor proscription. Mayhap, some would find my faither guilty. But I was sinless, as was my sister, who bore his punishment with me and grew to adulthood in the caverns of hell. It took many years, but we did escape. When all that made me human was finally stripped bare, I massacred Kildun's mighty garrison and fled north with my sister to the misty Isle of Skye. But I canna escape what I have become, and my hunger fer revenge against the Campbells is all I have left.
Fer six years now I have ridden forth from the obscure mists to exact payment fer that which was robbed from me, and from my clan. I have killed withoot sympathy, fer what does a devil know of mercy? Aye, I am a cold-hearted beast whose name alone strikes terror in the hearts of his enemies. Save fer one.
Kate Campbell is the granddaughter of the man who imprisoned me. A woman I should despise. I took her from her home with the intention to lure her uncle, the current Earl of Argyll, to me. I didna expect her to slice me with her blade, or to awaken a part of me I thought long dead with her saucy mouth and tantalizin' curves. But most of all, I wasna prepared to find atonement fer my sins in the bonny eyes of a Campbell lass. And now, instead of killin' my enemy, I must do all I can to keep her alive.
Callum MacGregor, clan chieftain of the MacGregors and laird of the mist.
Knights
Hearts of the Conquest series
Medieval series
Update with new content, new titles, and new covers!
Norman Lord Brand Risande, known as “The Passionate” is temptation incarnate with the power to pull and lure, and cause kingdoms to fall. But he hides a bitter secret; the betrayal that has sealed his heart. Now as this most feared warrior rides out to possess the lands he has won in war, he engages his most formidable enemy ever.
Saxon Lady Brynnafar Dumont is prepared to do anything to protect her people—even seduce the savage knight who defeated her father. But instead of a cold-blooded beast, she confronts a purely sensual scoundrel who wants nothing to do with her.
Innocent as she is, she must use all her wiles to defeat Lord Brand in the only battle worth fighting—the one for his passionate heart.
Norman lord Dante Risande never met a woman he couldn't seduce... until a lovely servant named Gianelle refuses his attention and his help when she’s accused of murder. As the King's right hand, he can't sit idly by. It's his duty to investigate. But in order to save Gianelle, he must buy her, which makes him an enemy in her eyes. She’s no easy woman to win over, which makes her even more alluring. The more time he spends with her, fighting, laughing, breathing the same wonderfully charged air –like being on the ocean when lightning strikes nearby, the more he begins to long for her to be his. He’ll give her anything she asks, but he can’t give her what she truly wants while her accusers are alive.
A slave all her life, Gianelle Dejiat wants nothing to do with men. Especially the abusive kind. That’s why she’s caught trying to escape her lord’s castle, and why she’s accused of killing him when he’s found dead in his bed. But the true danger is just beginning. The only thing worse than a mean-tempered master taking interest in her is a silver-eyed, velvet-tongued warrior like Lord Dante Risande. What Gia wants is her freedom, to disappear and live her own life, not to become another of Dante's conquests. But when he buys her and brings her home to Dover, will his castle high on the cliffs become a new prison or the place where she finally learns how to fly?
And when her accuser shows up in her life again, this time to kill her, will she use her wings to fly away to live her own life? Or will she leap into the arms of the man who unchained her heart and set her free to keep her close?
Like the sun, Tanon's fire cannot be extinguished.
By the king’s order, Lady Tanon Risande has been promised to wed a fierce Welsh prince as a gesture of Norman goodwill. But the Prince Gareth ap Owain seems more like a pulsing beast ready to devour, and Tanon doubts she can obey her king and wed the untamed dragon prince. When he claims her hand in a tournament, beating dozens of men to win her, she knows he won’t leave without his promised prize, and she can’t help but fear bedding a barbarian. But like the sun, Tanon’s fire cannot be extinguished. In it, she possesses the power to subdue a king, tame a dragon, and bring peace to the wild lands of Cymru.
Gareth may be a prince, but his primal sensuality proves he’s no courtly gentleman. But he’s determined to show the woman he’s loved since he was a boy that he saves his savagery for the battlefield, not the bedchamber. He’ll use far more persuasive methods to draw his lady into his arms. But though Gareth is a prince, he can’t offer Tanon the finery she’s used to, nor can he be sure she will be safe in his untamed land of Cymru, where princes plot against princes and Marcher lords take more of their land each day.
What he can guarantee her is a love unlike any she has ever known, and a life of intrigue, trust, and passion.
