Princess of the Highlands Trilogy Book 2
~~~
A CRY FOR VALOUR
Five years since the last blood heir to the Scottish throne was imprisoned by Danish invaders, death her only prospect.
Two since the Lowlanders rescued their princess while failing to free their country, waging a winter's war.
One since the princess went into hiding and the Scots sent envoys to Cymru, hoping to secure aid against their common enemies.
Her country in ruins, her fighting men few, Fiona McCurragh nonetheless finds courage as the Lowlanders return from Cymru.
As winter thaws into spring, the Danes renew their hunt for the Scottish princess, nearly discovering her and the Scots' newfound Cymreig allies. The Scots, forced to play their hand, retaliate by launching their third war against their invaders. Yet the elder son of Chieftain McCladden and Fiona McCurragh soon realise that not all battles are won with men and spears; some are of the heart.
In an unforeseen act of treachery, Fiona is captured and held prisoner at Caerloch Castle, awaiting torture and execution. Meanwhile, the Lowlanders and the Cymry find themselves faced by Lady Nuith's innumerable hosts and beyond the reach of the silent Highlanders. Torn between surrender or death, honouring their oaths may be the Scots' final defence.

Outlander: The Standing Stones
Irina is an American archaeologist on vacation in Scotland. She discovers there is a ring of stones (called a menhir, if you care to learn about such things) outside of town, so she decides to go and explore. What she finds delights her, not only a henge (a stone ring) but remains of tomb mounds and she spends a happy afternoon exploring it. Just before she decides to head back to town, she lays down, unwittingly, in the shadow of a tall stone. She wakes, realizing not only had she fallen asleep, but now she discovers that something is amiss--she may not even be in her own time. Even worse, she can hear the sound of men and horses...and realizes she is trapped and has nowhere to run. Fortunately, she stumbles across a young Highlander named Jamie Fraser who helps her hide. Together they spend the night in a tomb, but when she finds out that Jamie is on the run, she insists that he leave, and she will act as bait to enable him to make his getaway. This is not your usual "Outlander" story. A good portion is OC orientated, with Jamie making appearances and then vanishing from the story until he re-appears. When my OC finally gets to Castle Leoch, Gabaldon's characters make their appearances. I had fun writing this, it was the story I wanted to write, and it's Outlander themed. So far, people seem to like it so maybe I did something right! Thank you for all of those continuing to read this story and liking it!! I appreciate your votes and your comments and appreciate that you've helped make this story one of the most popular in the "Outlander" category!!! When I posted this on FanFiction.net, I'd pretty much given up hope due to the lack of response. If you are enjoying this story, please vote.

The Dream of Aisling (BOOK 1)
For seventeen years, Caerelia Ibormeith's mother gave her a nightly tincture of valerian, meant to keep her from dreaming of the dangerous and enchanting Mac Ind Óc. On her eighteenth birthday, the day of her engagement to the handsome but uninspiring Count Merrick, Caer stops taking the potion and begins dreaming of a mysterious man she calls Aisling. A year later, on her wedding day, Aisling arrives in a storm of ice and destiny, leading Caer to Loch Bel Dracon. When she drowns and awakens in Tir na nÓg, the realm of gods and legends, she finds herself in the hands of Aisling who she soon discovers to be Aengus Óg, the god of love and son of the Dagda. But this is no simple romance. Caer becomes entangled with Lugh, the brooding God of Sun, who is determined to return her to Earth as his outward hatred for Earthlings complicates her stay at Court Nuada. As the gods' world tightens around her, Caer must navigate love, jealousy, and dangerous divine politics, all while coping with her new form: half woman, half swan. With only three months until her wedding to Aisling, Caer begins the rigorous and mysterious lessons of godly matrimony under Macha, the fierce goddess of war, who becomes her unexpected ally. But everything shifts when Caer uncovers Aisling's far darker intentions, realizing that survival, not love, may be her only path to freedom. This steamy retelling of the Irish legend of Aengus Og and Caer Ibormeith is based on the dialect and 19th century vibe of Pride and Prejudice wih description heavy action in the first chapters.Terminé
Escape from the Obstinate Prince ✓
Sequel to "Escape from the Witch Hunters" Jack kept walking towards her and Ami kept backing up until finally she hit the wall. "Why are you doing this?" "Doing what?" he had an arrogant smile on his face and he got closer to her. "That." she nodded towards his closing in on her. Her breathing and her heart beating picked up speed. "Is it wrong for me to want my own wife?" his own body was nearly pressed against hers and he rested his head between her head and shoulder. "It is when you, just days before, resented the very fact that I was alive." she closed her eyes, trying to steady her breathing. "Maybe I've had a change of heart." he looked at her. She looked at him with her blue eyes. "I don't think so." "What if I said I loved you?" he whispered hoarsely. "I wouldn't believe you." she rested her head against the wall as her heart pounded in her ears. His eyes flashed, then he viciously grabbed her by the waist, pulled her close to him, and his lips crashed onto hers. ~~~ Andromeda Aurora Amélia the Third had dreaded the day she turned sixteen, as she would have to be married to the very snobbish boy, Prince Jacques.

The Passion of London [Highlander's Love #1]
HIGHEST RANKING #6 in HISTORICAL FICTION! --- For all her life, Lady Evie Verrick had been regaled of tales of the Highlands from her Highland born and bred mother. She had grown up dreaming of chivalrous knights, sword-fighting, horse back riding. Tales of kin and family, loyalty and the warmth of a home. But being brought up in a traditional English household with a traditional father, her mother was the closest thing to the Highlands she could get. And when her mother died of pneumonia before her coming out, left to her father's care, Evie wants now, more then ever, to see the promised lands that she grew up with. --- Connor Gilroy had served as the first in command to the MacKenzie clan for as long as he could remember. He owed his loyalty to his best friend and brother in arms, Hammond MacKenzie, who had saved him from being skinned alive by English soldiers years ago, before the truce was signed between the two lands. Having no love lost for the country, Hammond would be the only person who could ever convince Connor to step foot back into English lands. His chief had recently received news on the death of the aunt he has never met, but Hammond was a man of his word, and he had promised his father he would care for all kin, regardless of who they were. But Connor never would've imagined that the cousin of his best friend would be a spirit of the flames. The way Evie took on life and all of its problems with a passion that ignited a hearth, would perhaps be the first time someone ever ignited more then just passion and desire within him.Terminé
