Can you sit and say that you don’t want
a man that is passionate, has charisma, loyal and the strength
to shake the foundation built around your heart? I think not. I have that
intense desire to climb right in to one of Knights book and allow myself to be
totally seduced by the hero.
Emilia was feisty, fierce, stubborn,
determined and a survivalist. She was strong when needed and devoted. She never
expected to be betrayed. Let alone by her own family. Life takes her in a new
direction once she escaped the clutches of her dying/dead husband and his clan.
She just never expected her safe-haven to be a place to find love again.
Ian was, of course, sexy, hot, fierce,
loyal, protective, and carried a bit of self-doubt. He was now the new clan
chief and had the responsibility of his half siblings. This meant he needed
help. The help comes in the form of Emilia from the king. He certainly was not
expecting to want more from her.
I so loved this one. It was my first
read in this series and now I must certainly go back and get them all. I love a
man that knows himself and know that he cannot fix the world but works to do
what he can. Ian was more than just a dream for Emilia. He was the answer to
her heart.

A
lady in need of protection…
Suffering through a short marriage to
an enemy of Scotland, Lady Emilia MacCulloch manages to escape just before her
husband dies. But the Ross Clan will stop at nothing to get her back, for she
plays a big part in their plans to thwart Robert the Bruce. She fears not only
for her life, but for her family who will be labeled traitors. Placed by her
king as a governess in the household of a devastatingly handsome warrior,
Emilia finds herself drawn to the man when she had previously sworn off love
altogether. His passion, charisma, loyalty, and strength shake the very
foundation she’s built around her heart.
A
warrior in need of saving…
Ian Matheson has spent his entire life
trying to prove himself. To belong. When his father passes away and his mother
takes her vows at a nearby abbey, he is suddenly left in a position he was
wholly unprepared for. And then his father’s dozen illegitimate children arrive
on his doorstep in need of a father figure of their own. They are adorable and
reckless, and he’s certain they’ll drive him mad. Just when he thinks he might
actually need to find a wife to help him, Lady Emilia is presented to him by
the king. She needs his protection and he needs her help with the bairns. Ian
is tempted by her angelic face, her fiery tongue, and the secrets that surround
her. He must resist the growing desire that’s laying claim within him. He must
prove to his clan that he is a worthy leader. But maybe, just maybe, he can
have the respect of his people and Emilia, too.

Info
Once upon a time, in a land far away,
there lived a princess…
Growing up, I was a proficient story
teller, with most of my plots encompassing princesses and princes and dreams
coming true. Now as an author, some of my stories are still about royalty,
knights, duels, ladies, intrigue, betrayal. History fascinates me and I try to
bring history back to life in each of my stories.
My favorite time periods are medieval,
renaissance and Regency eras of Europe. Growing up, I was lucky to have
grandparents who lived in Paris, so many a summer was spent exploring medieval
ruins and historical sites.
One of my all time favorite books
is Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Bronte, and I am of course Jane
Austen fan, my two favorites being Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility. I love the in-depth, emotionally
riveting and intriguing works of historical author, Ken Follett. I am also a
fan of Shakespeare, and you will find in a lot of my writing reference to the
literary God and his work. Not only Shakespeare, but other period poets and
literary notables of history are on my keeper shelf. My love affair with the
romance genre started young. I picked up my first romance novel, The Bride, by Julie Garwood when I was in high
school, and I haven’t been able to stop reading or writing romance since.
When I’m not reading or writing I am
usually doing research for fun. If you love history, come visit me at History
Undressed,
where we discuss all the wildly fascinating and titillating facts of history!
Recently I’ve started to post reviews of historical fiction and romance novels
as well.
