They're back! Read #FREE in KindleUnlimited!

 

All he wanted was to end his fate.
All she wanted was a new beginning.
They both got just what they asked…
Just not like they planned.
The old adage is true: Be careful what you wish for.

As guardian of the realm portals hidden among the Outer Hebrides, Chieftain Torin Grey discovers the consequences of challenging the gods. Betrayed by a wife he adored beyond reason; Torin ignores the gods' edict and dares to change his fate. The punishment for such disobedience? Stasis in a cursed sleep while all he cherishes turns to dust. Torin can’t imagine a worse sentence but that’s before the gods awaken him to a world he no longer knows.

Science + Data = Fact. Pediatrician Emma Maxwell only believes in what she can prove. Career-driven and raising her sister since her parents’ death, Emma doesn’t waste time or energy on anything as unexplainable as emotion. While starting a children’s clinic on the Isle of Lewis, Emma ignores the eerie pull of the Callanish Stones, chalking the sensation up to some scientific anomaly. But when she finds herself nose to nose with an ancient Scot babbling that Emma possesses magic, her scientific explanations become much harder to find. It boils down to one of two things: either Torin has escaped from a mental institution or the stress of leaving college-age sister alone while starting a clinic halfway around the world has finally pushed Emma over the edge.

Emma and Torin are the world's last hope when the gods realize the beast they unleashed to cleanse mankind should never have been unshackled. Their combined powers are the only weapon strong enough to overcome the demon and save humanity. But for their joined magic to work, Torin must accept the truths of his past and Emma must embrace an unexplainable future that includes neither science nor her sister.

Will magic and love win out…or is the world doomed?

Now she and Ramsay must find a way back before accidentally altering the past and unknowingly changing the future. That is, if Trish can survive the first trip across the web of time without losing her life…or her heart.

An immortal Fury nearing burnout from vanquishing evil. A raging Highlander determined to remain miserably alone. The goddesses’ plan to save them both with the greatest magic of all.

An average day in the life of an immortal Fury: flex powers, locate evil, administer justice. Until Ciara’s goddess mothers convince her to seduce a brooding mortal. All she must do is swap places with his betrothed. Her assignment is simple: become the seductive wife, bear the man a child, and train the young one in the Ways. Once the boy reaches seven years of age, they’ll swap her back with the wife he thinks he selected and Ciara can resume her job of rousting wickedness from the realities.

Chieftain Faolan MacKay’s advisors plague him daily about his matrimonial duties, dragging prospects from across the Highlands: plump dowries attached to each one. Faolan has lost everyone he has ever loved. He’d rather go straight to the fiery pits of Hell than down the wedding aisle. Out of desperation, his plan takes seed. He’ll select a wife he can ignore. There’s just one problem with this foolproof theory. Nobody ignores Ciara. Against his better judgment, he’s enthralled with the woman, and to Ciara’s surprise, this strange thing called love burns hotter than her hunger for vengeance.

At the end of the seven years, the ruse is up, and all will return to as it was before. Can Faolan and Ciara’s bond overcome the mandate of the ultimate powers?

The last time Latharn MacKay walked among his kinsman was in Scotland of 1410. Sensuous and charismatic, all the women wanted him, but none could capture his heart. Latharn's charm became his curse when a dark sorceress didn't take rejection well. She snared his soul into a crystal globe until the one woman destined to be his love whispered his release. Now all Latharn has to do is find her and guide her to him without speaking a word.

One of the youngest archeologists in 21st. century St Louis, Nessa credits one thing for this achievement: the recurring dream of a heart-stopping Highlander since the summer she turned eighteen years old.

Delighting Her Highland Devil is releasing early!

 


She tumbles back three centuries into the arms of a gruff Highlander and wins his heart—until she endangers everyone he’s ever protected.

Jovianna Jacobs, a history professor specializing in Scottish culture, is brilliant and students flock to sign up for her classes. Not because of her brilliance—but because of her foibles during her lectures. No matter how hard she tries not to be so clumsy, when she gets excited about a topic, her fumbling nearly destroys the room. Literally. After wrecking her third laptop in six months and completely embarrassing herself, a relaxing trek through Finnich Glen with her high-spirited mother is just the ticket to put things in perspective. There’s nothing like descending into the mystical gorge and visiting the infamous Devil’s Pulpit. But a rainstorm triggers a flash flood and while trying to retreat and manage the hazardous waters, dizzying nausea overpowers her and the raging current washes her away.

Tobias Risk, the ruthlessly fierce highwayman known as the Devil of the Highlands, has been fighting to keep his greedy brother, the Earl of Grampian, from replacing their people with sheep to make more money off their lands. Farming is all the crofters know, but they’re being evicted and burned out in the name of profit and progress. All that stands between them and homelessness is the money that Tobias and his men steal from wealthy travelers to cover the ever-increasing rents. After one such robbery, while washing his face in the waters beside the Devil’s Pulpit, a beautiful and helpless Englishwoman washes up at his feet. Not only that, but her irritating mother is with her. And after saving the young beauty from drowning, he becomes hopelessly entranced with her. So much so that he claims her for his wife.

But treachery abounds and enemies both old and new threaten their newfound love. The two remain steadfast until Jovianna makes a grave error in judgment and endangers everyone Tobias has ever protected.

Tobias never learned the art of forgiveness. But Jovianna loves him with a fury and refuses to walk away. Somehow she will reverse her mistake and win back her Devil of the Highlands.

The Highland Protectors are back!



Long ago, in ancient Scotland, there was a time when druids held power. These druids were nothing more than ordinary mortals—dedicated ordinary mortals, contrary to the godlike perceptions their closely guarded teachings and warlike prowess created. They honored the old ways of the land. Served the mighty goddesses. Carefully selected clans more willing than the average Scot to die for all they considered holy.
Their lore was sacred, so guarded that it was never committed to text, never recorded in history’s annals. Instead, their traditions were taught and passed down orally. Father to son. Mother to daughter. Druid chief to chosen successor.
Of all the druid clans, the strongest and most cherished by the goddesses was the MacDara bloodline. More devoted than any other and trained by the warrior goddess Scota herself, the MacDara men and their sons mastered the goddesses’ four sacred weapons: sword, hammer, shield, and spear. No better archers could be found than the MacDara women.
The MacDara clan became the goddesses’ mightiest champions. And with this honor came the task of guarding the most hallowed gift to all of humanity: the blessed Heartstone—the ancient relic filled with the unexplainable energy that made every mortal life worth living.
The sacred Heartstone was fabled to fuel humankind with the most important instincts: the need to love, hope, and evolve. Without the Heartstone’s subtle nurturing of humanity’s desire to achieve a brighter future, civilizations would cease to better themselves. Progress would stagnate. Life would be nothing more than dreary mediocrity until snuffed out by death. Humans can survive without many things, but love and hope—the urgent expectancy that circumstances will get better—are essential to survival.
The blessed stone and its lore was known and revered by the druids and the followers of the old ways. It was a precious gift from the goddesses. But as centuries passed and beliefs changed, the knowledge of the Heartstone and the legend of the druid clans faded into barely remembered myth, finally forgotten and abandoned by mankind.
Except by those who knew the cost: the druid clans.
Scattered to the winds by history and walking among society as though the tales were never more than fanciful stories of a long-ago time, the descendants of the clans now live double lives, upholding their families’ ancient oath: protect those who protect the Heartstone. Their ancestors failed the chosen MacDara clan once. They will not fail again. Not only for the MacDara clan's sake but for all humankind's sake, even though the world is oblivious to the reality of the stone and its powers.
The Heartstone—and humanity’s evolution—must be protected at all cost, and the MacDara druid clan and their descendants are the ones deemed worthy enough to do it. Selected by the goddesses and the sacred stone itself, the MacDaras are the only bloodline courageous enough for the task.
And the MacDaras must do more than survive. They must thrive. Their bloodline must never die out . . . no matter what century the goddesses place them in to save them.



Duty brought him to the future. Honor forces him to tolerate it. Nothing could ever make him love it—until her.

Highland warrior Alec MacDara and his brothers traveled forward in time to protect the sacred Heartstone. Their cover? Owners and operators of a theme park called Highland Life and Legends. As the chairman, Alec has been fending off requests to film at the breathtaking property. It’s only because of the charming correspondence from an enterprising production assistant that he agrees to a meeting at all. That’s when Alec meets a woman whose lush curves make him forget, for the first time, all about tenth-century Scotland and those he left behind.
 
A lowly assistant for her sister’s motion picture company, wannabe screenwriter Sadie Williams is shocked when Alec agrees to let them film at the park upon one condition: that she report to him daily. Sadie’s sister always told her that their parents only adopted her because they felt sorry for the ugly little stray. But Alec looks at Sadie like she is the most tempting creature in the world. And with his gleaming, musclebound body stripped down to nothing but a hip-hugging kilt and boots, Alec clearly knows a little something about temptation.

Previously published in 2017, this revised edition with its fresh new cover and updated content is now available in paperback for the first time!



This tenth-century Highland warrior has a lot to learn about twenty-first century women.
 
Haunted by lost love, Grant MacDara still dreams of tenth-century Scotland. Nothing can soothe his aching heart—until a sharp-tongued, redheaded beauty leads a tour of senior citizens through his family’s North Carolina theme park, Highland Life and Legends. Though she’s the polar opposite of the lass he left behind, Joanna Martin is the most irresistible woman Grant has ever met. But when he decides that she’s worth the risk of loving again, he tries so hard to hold her close that she nearly slips through his fingers.
 
Forced out of her job as a pharmaceutical sales rep by a conniving ex, Joanna is trying to make the best of her quiet new life. But one glimpse of Grant—who wields an ancient hammer like it’s just another appendage of his chiseled body—convinces Joanna not to give up on love. But the one thing she can’t do is outrun her past as a loser magnet. And although Grant seems to be the last honorable man left on earth, this mouthwatering temptation needs a crash course in twenty-first-century women before Joanna will trust him with her heart.

A brooding Highland warrior straight out of ancient Scotland can’t stay broody long when a modern woman with a zest for life crashes into his life.

Ramsay MacDara wishes the goddesses had left his arse back in the tenth century. That way he never would have met the gold digger who made a fool out of him. A loner at heart, Ramsay is riding his beloved horse through the woods near his family’s North Carolina theme park, Highland Life and Legends, when he hears tires squealing—followed by a thud—and rushes to the scene to help. That’s when he lays eyes on a pair of long legs sticking out of the moon roof of a car. His interest piqued, the rest of her will soon arouse his greatest desires . . . and deepest fears.

Archaeologist Katie Jenson is on a six-month sabbatical from her job at Princeton University. Following the death of her beloved father—whose dying request was for Katie to live life to the fullest—she’s headed to a friend’s beach house in North Carolina. But a momentary distraction takes her off the road and on the journey of her life . . . with a warrior god in a kilt at her side. Ramsay’s passion is the stuff of legend—and it just may be Katie’s greatest discovery.

They form a pact to stop the wedding and save the chieftain from the disastrous match.

But what Lorna doesn’t know is that Arabella isn’t planning on halting the ceremony, the wily nine-year-old merely wants to switch brides.

The Highland Hearts series is back!

Time Runners. Hot Highlanders. Curses. OH MY!

All four books in the Highland Hearts series are available again, this time in paperback and Kindle Unlimited too!

Join the time-traveling Sinclair sisters as their matchmaking granny coaxes them back to medieval Scotland to meet (and win) their soulmates.

The books can be read as standalones but are best enjoyed in the following order:


She jumps back through time to prove a point—not to lose her heart.

As the proprietor of a homeopathic store in rural Kentucky, modern day Trulie Sinclair knows her neighbors think she is strange—but they have no idea how different she really is. Trulie was born in thirteenth-century Scotland to a gifted bloodline of time travelers. When she finally relents to her grandmother’s nagging and returns to the past, Trulie literally lands on Gray MacKenna’s broad chest. And just as his alpha male looks send ripples through her body, a fierce attraction tempts their hearts.

After his parents' murder, Gray is consumed with thoughts of revenge. As the new chieftain of the MacKenna clan, he has reason to believe there’s a traitor in his midst, and nothing—not even the bonny lass who suddenly drops from the sky—can distract him from his single-minded pursuit of the culprit. But when Gray learns that this sassy beauty possesses gifts beyond the sparkle in her eyes, he allows his gaze, and his heart, to linger. While he hunts for the murderer, Gray finds in Trulie a precious partner—and a timeless love.

If you love steamy, can't put the book down romances about ancient Highland warriors and the modern day women who tame them, then this is the story for you! Meet the time-traveling Sinclair sisters and their stubborn matchmaking granny as they take thirteenth century Scotland by storm!

Previously published in 2015, this revised edition with its fresh new cover and updated content is now available in paperback for the first time!



Twenty-first century southern sass versus ancient Highland heat. The winner?

With soulful eyes and curves that refuse to be ignored, Kenna Sinclair might seem like just another pretty Kentucky girl. But she can also read minds, erase memories, and jump through time—a skill set that comes in handy when her matchmaking granny sends her back to thirteenth-century Scotland on the pretext of visiting her older sister. When she encounters the clan’s womanizing man-at-arms, Kenna instantly knows the gorgeous Highlander has only one thing on his mind. She vows to steer clear of him, but after a single electrifying touch, she finds that playing hard to get won’t be quite so easy. . . .

Bewitched by the first lass who could ever resist him, Colum Garrison will do anything to prove his devotion, even ask for Kenna’s hand in marriage—and accept a dare to go celibate until their wedding night. It’s a burden for a man of his thunderous appetite, but the temptation is not his alone: Colum’s fetching bride-to-be is practically trembling with anticipation for a moment that can’t come soon enough. When she’s willing, Colum will be ready and waiting—with a love that lasts a lifetime.

If you love steamy, page-turner love stories about alpha Highlanders, fated mates, and lovers from different centuries, then this is the story for you! This is the second Sinclair sister's story about how a well laid plan to bring her warrior to his knees blows up in her face.

Previously published in 2015, this revised edition with its fresh new cover and updated content is now available in paperback for the first time!



A wolf-shifting chieftain travels centuries to modern-day Scotland to tame his one and only.


Cursed to live forever with neither wife nor child, Ronan Sutherland has watched all he cherishes turn to dust—more than once. For hundreds of years, he’s been trapped behind the mists of Loch Ness, hoping to identify the one woman who is prophesied to break the spell. Now, at last, the fates have aligned, and he’s being sent into the future to fetch her. After a single glimpse, Ronan knows he’s been waiting all his life for this passionate woman.

Unlike her time-traveling sisters, Mairi Sinclair is perfectly content to remain in the present. As a hospital nurse in Edinburgh, she cherishes the opportunity to put her gift of healing powers to good use. But everything changes the morning a mysterious wolf darts out in front of her car. Touching the wounded creature’s tawny coat, a tingle surges through her. Yet when she returns with aid, Mairi is shocked to find instead a man with broad shoulders and fire in his eyes—a man who tempts her to unleash the animal within.

If you love steamy, wolf-shifter happily-ever-afters with a Scottish historical romance twist, then this is the book for you! Mairi Sinclair is the third Sinclair sister and she's determined to stay in the twenty-first century. Matchmaking Granny, the Fates, and destiny say otherwise. See which one wins!

Previously published in 2016, this revised edition with its fresh new cover and updated content is now available in paperback for the first time!



The ladies’ man of Loch Ness meets a hot-tempered lass who sets his heart aflame and also resists his charms.

Though she is part of a legacy of time-traveling sisters, Lilia Sinclair is planted firmly in twenty-first-century Edinburgh. Her granny’s matchmaking with thirteenth-century Highlanders isn’t about to lure her into the past, especially as ancient Scotland enters troubled times. After all, Lilia is blessed—or cursed—with dire prophetic visions and empathy. To protect herself, she’s put up an icy emotional wall no man can shatter—at least, up until now.

Graham MacTavish is pure trouble. Once the dragon bound to Loch Ness, he has transformed into a philanderer of the first order. In fact, because of his dalliances with other men’s wives, a rival clan wants his head on a pike. Before he provokes an all-out war, Graham is banished to the twenty-first century, where he must win Lilia’s hand—or return to die. But after meeting a lass as fierce as any Highland warrior, Graham knows one thing: life with Lilia, in any century, is a fate to embrace.

If you love steamy, romantic page-turners about sigh-worthy, ancient warriors and the feisty, modern day women who bring them to their knees, then this is the story for you!

Only 2 more weeks 'til RELEASE DAY!

 


She wanted a new beginning. Just not with a man executed three hundred years in the past.

Twenty-first century tour guide Mila Carthson and her godson Robbie are excited to launch their first tour of the season in their brand new minibus. They made it through a horrific year of him being bullied and three deaths in the family. Now it’s spring and time for new beginnings. Things can only get better.

But after hours on the road with tourists who act worse than spoiled toddlers, Mila begins to wonder. Surely, a sack lunch surrounded by Glencoe’s beauty will improve the day. She gets the group settled, then she and Robbie climb to higher ground for some badly needed peace.

While they’re eating, the strangest storm blows in and makes her and Robbie so ill, all they can do is hug it out while the wind and rain batters them. When the weather lifts, everything is different. Not just different, but changed beyond belief. And someone is coming. On horseback. At a thundering, breakneck speed.

The last thing eighteenth century Chieftain Teague MacDonald needs is an unforeseen interruption in his interception of the Campbell clan’s favorite whisky. But his greatest weakness is taking in strays. Especially comely wenches. And this one is that. Fiery as a freshly lit torch, too. So, even though persecuting the bloody Campbells, smuggling, and quietly strengthening the Jacobite cause keeps him busy, this lovely lass is too tempting to ignore. And the longer he is around her, the more he wants her and wishes she would let him save her from whatever terrible secret set her and the lad on the run in the first place. One way or another, he will win her trust. And with any luck, he will win even more.

Mila has been many things. Tour guide. Substitute mother. Grieving friend. But the eighteenth century transforms her into something she never expected: a woman in love like never before. Except she knows Teague is going to be executed soon. She read about it while researching his castle’s remains back in the twenty-first century.

Somehow, she has to keep him alive. But can the history books and destiny be rewritten?


Excerpt:

As they stepped outside, she glanced back, noting he had closed the hallway door leading into the library. “How will they know where to find ye when yer food is ready? I dinna wish either yerself or yer people to have their meal delayed while I enjoy the fresh air.”
He kept his gaze aimed straight ahead, revealing a strong, handsome profile worthy of immortalization on a coin of pure gold. “Have ye forgotten Master Robbie knows where to find us?”
There was that. “I have not forgotten. Well—not now, anyway.” She blew out a despondent huff. 
“What is it, m’lady?”
A deep breath of the cool, rain-washed air helped fight back her nervousness. “I have never done well at small talk or idle chitchat. And it has been a very eventful day.” The slow stroll across the garden helped calm her, too. The winding patches of cobblestone led them toward an ivy enclosure. With the sun setting, she expected its interior to be dark, but instead, a light flickered out from the arched opening and the walls of thick green leaves. “Are there torches inside?”
“Aye.” He halted them a yard or so from it. A somber, faraway looked filled his face. “Torches are kept lit there. Tended by my cousin, Willie MacDonald, and his family. In memory of those lost at Glencoe. A spring feeds the pool at its center, symbolizing our determination to thrive and seek justice.”
She bit her lip, remembering the overgrown rubble of the place in the twenty-first century. The shelter of ivy carefully trained here on trellises would someday become invasive vines overtaking everything. “It is verra lovely. A wonderful tribute.” Such a bloody shame that wars, the clearances, and politics had prevented the descendants from preserving it. 
“Would ye like to step inside and see it closer?” The quiet reverence in his tone touched her heart.
“I would be honored,” she said, finding herself speaking just as reverently. The need to cry burned her eyes as she entered the lovingly tended area that time would eventually erase. A tear escaped before she could stop it. 
Teague caught it on his finger and pressed it to his lips. “’Tis a precious thing for a woman to weep for tortured souls she never met.”
She couldn’t speak. To do so would betray the overwhelming emotions that would crack her voice. So, she managed a shy smile, tucked her chin, and turned away. There was no way to explain all she felt. To read about history was one thing. For it to come alive and embrace you was quite another.
“Ye are beguiling me, Lady Mila,” he said in a voice soft as a breath.
This man tempted her. Not just physically, but in a much more dangerous manner. He tempted her to invite him into the sanctity of her inner circle, become one of the few she allowed to know her best. “Ye just met me,” she argued rather than confess the beguiling went both ways. 
“Nay, m’lady.” He moved closer, stepping around to peer deeply into her eyes. “This may be our first meeting in this life, but I feel certain we knew each other well in another.” He gently tipped up her chin and stroked her cheek with his thumb. “Do ye not feel the draw? Like the pull of the tides? Or the river’s current?”
“Everything happens for a reason,” she whispered. That had been her mother’s, grandmother’s, and great-grandmother’s mantra.
“And everything is connected.” His coaxing smile made her heart sigh. He eased closer, his gaze focused on her mouth, and hers on his.
She wet her lips, hungry for the taste of him even though she knew it would be a mistake.
“Teague MacDonald!”
His nostrils flared like he was a bull about to charge. Turning his head with a jerk, he let his hand drop away from her and stepped back. “What is it, Lizzie?” he said through clenched teeth.
“Supper awaits ye. All are hungry and ready to eat.” 
Mila offered the curvy blonde a smile. “Thank ye for fetching us. Lizzie, is it?”
“Aye,” the young woman said without a hint of friendliness. “Lizzie Jamison. I know well enough who ye are.” She spun about and flounced away.
“It appears I have made an enemy.” Mila increased the space between them, both thankful and mildly disappointed about snarly Lizzie’s interruption. It was for the best. As she had always been taught, everything happened for a reason.
