Highest Rank #2. (Published on Amazon. Six chapters available for review.) First impressions can often be wrong. Lori Forester's five older brothers raised her to ride like an Indian, shoot the head off a match with blinding speed, and hunt with skill and cunning, like a brother. Though, she also has the skills of a lady. In 1888, men challenge her will and create situations that test her fortitude. Her keen wit and beauty flock men to her, but only one gives her what the others don't - admiration for all her capabilities.

***This is my original work, and if anyone decides to steal it and post it anywhere else without specific permission, I will not hesitate to take legal action against you!!!!*** A girl to take home to one's mother with no fear of sharp disapproval. Sure, she was plain and dull, but she was the sort one could settle down with in a few years after the sowing of the wild oats was completed. . .if one could get past how plain and ordinary she was that is. In truth, Lady Lavinia Antrucha was nothing compared to her sister, Cassandra. She had neither beauty nor social notoriety. . .but at least she didn't leave a trail of broken hearts behind her. She's the one people go to when they're in trouble and don't know what to do, the one who is supposed to be the stronger of the two Antrucha girls, the one her parents expect will stay with them for the rest of their lives, because what man would want to marry plain, little Lavinia? The most sought after bachelor in all of Scotland, the life of any given party, that's what they named Laird Ethan Brodi. He was the toast of high society and the man every mother yearned to see on their doorstep, asking to see their fine daughter. He knew there was something more to life than petty women who couldn't see past his fine physique, and he intended to find it; that is, until his father decided he had spent enough time unmarried and forged an alliance with the rich Antruchas by promising him in marriage to the eldest daughter who would certainly match Ethan in good looks and fine tastes. As far as Ethan was concerned, Lady Cassandra Antrucha could take a long walk off a short pier, but his father's word was law, and so to England he must go to meet his future bride. Can he go through with a marriage when his heart yearns for another? #Wattys2016

Not only is Colonel Witherspoon known for his womanizing and depravity, but all of England knows he murdered her brother fifteen years prior. James is not the man England has labeled him. Although he enjoys his whiskey a little too often-and his women just as much-deep down inside, there is the real James Witherspoon lurking, struggling to break free of his past mistakes. It's not until he meets his Siren by the edge of the ocean that he feels the need to become the man Phoebe Landon deserves...as long as she gives him a chance.

HIGHEST RANKING #6 in HISTORICAL FICTION --- Amhuinn Kincaid, exiled from the Kincaid Clan, has spent the last three years as an outcast among the Highlands. She lived alone with her brother Tamhas, and the two siblings rely on each other. However, when her brother ended up in trouble and captured by their former clan, Amhuinn had no other choice but to turn to the clan closest to where she and Tamhas had made their home - no other than Hammond MacKenzie, the unsmiling Laird of the MacKenzie Clan. Hammond remembered meeting the blonde with a limp, just a year ago when he was on his way back from England. He had extended a helping hand back then, offering assistance should they ever need it. He hadn't given it much thought then, but he never expected her to turn up on his doorstep one fateful evening, firmly asking for his assistance and refusing to leave until he agreed to do so. Complying with her requests would mean putting his clan in danger... but it appears that the MacKenzie had found one minx, he would do anything for.
