Base on a A True Legend of a maiden in Scotland named Jean Douglas,  Jean fell in love with the son of the Laird of Tushielaw, and although the family had property, the laird's son was not considered to be of high enough birth to be a suitable match for Jean.  Sir William refused to sanction the marriage, and sent the young man away, hoping that Jean would forget all about him.  But poor Jean was devastated.  She spent months watching from the castle ramparts, praying for the return of her lover.  She became ill and her health deteriorated. Eventually one day he did return, but so weak and emaciated was Jean that he did not recognise her and rode past the castle without acknowledging her.

Sir Lancelot, his faithful First Knight. Guinevere, Arthur's promised bride. Garreth, her best friend and cousin, the son of Merlin (Myrddin), the great wizard. It sounds just like the Arthurian Legend, doesn't it? But... What if everything happened differently? What if the young Princess Guinevere was not so keen on marrying Prince Arthur, whom she met... when he came for a week-long sightseeing tour to her father's kingdom accompanied by dashing Sir Lancelot? What if she was... dressed as a knight, pretending to be a bodyguard hired for the visitors? And... What if it was 'a she', who was destined to pull the sword from the stone and thus unite the kingdoms? This is my version, a humorous retelling of the famous legend, a medieval fantasy- coming of age- romantic comedy. *This story is purposely historically innacurate, set in some parallel, fantastical Britain that is different from what it had really been in the past, even though I'm using real locations, historically confirmed battles, and the Saxons as enemies of my legendary King Arthur.

She was never one to be swayed... Trained to have a hard exterior from when she was just a fledgling, she had a hard time confronting these conflicting sentiments that'd raided her. She was never one to be religious... But after the incident, she prayed to whatever god there was. She was never one to believe in love... But the outcome of that history brought along a foreign feeling, one that she always pleaded to be freed from. She was one to be strong, to completely dispose of problems that may arise to be an issue. She believed in her power and knew that only she took whatever means to get to where she was. She was one to fight like never before, not caring if they had families. But... Now she'd gone soft, and she knew it. So it was either she disposed of the root of her problems, or be disposed. ~×~ Betrayed by her friend and ditched on her supposed lover, she is being imprisoned for what she thought was right after her last hope of family abandons her. Now banished from the Kingdom to an unknown land, the young female must find a way to survive and have her revenge. But alas, the damned gods were never on her side this time to begin with. It's a tug of war, and time's running out. Who will win? Will it be the tigress? Or shall the Vikings conquer? Find out in... THE VIKING AND THE TIGRESS.

[SAMPLE] FULL VERSION AVAILABLE ON AMAZON "I shall always love you, my dear bairn. Remember that, no matter what happens. And you must promise me something before I go," Bethany whispered with all the strength she could muster. "Anything, Mum," the young woman answered. "You must stay away from the water." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Briony Fairborn, a midwife in eighteenth-century Scotland, comes from a family shrouded in scandal. Left with only one friend after her mother's death, she has little hope of gaining any others, let alone finding a husband. Instead, Briony tries to live a quiet life and avoid her neighbors' ridicule as much as possible. But things in Everton take a drastic turn when a storm brings foreigners to the village docks. On the night Santiago Mendes arrives, he comes with a broken ship, a broken leg, and a broken spirit that Briony finds herself profoundly drawn to. Her scarred heart slowly starts to open, and although Briony suspects he may be hiding something, she cannot help but dream of the possibility of love. That is, until another stranger appears in town, intent on repaying a childhood debt. A dangerously handsome stranger who shows Briony that she's even more different than she could have imagined. And that her past is far darker than she realized. Magic, romance, and political intrigue collide as the secrets surrounding one Scottish woman begin to unravel. Secrets that she may not be ready to face. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cover Art by MoorBooks Design

A Marriage Most Inconvenient

60 parts Complete Mature

Forced into marriage by duty and obligation, The Duke and Duchess of Rothbury parted ways a week after saying their vows under the explicit understanding that theirs was a marriage in name only. There would be no expectations of love, fidelity, or romance. The Duke hates the American Heiress who married him only for his title, completely unaffected by the senseless tragedy that had made their marriage necessary in the first place. When an illness forces him to retire to the country, he makes sure to choose the property where his wife wouldn't be. Except that she is, and she is still as insufferable as ever. The Duchess resents the man who killed her youthful dreams of love and abandoned her to live his bachelor life unencumbered. When she is jilted by her lover, and faced with inevitable ridicule, she decides to retire to her beloved estate in Cornwall, where she runs an orphanage. Never once does she expect to run into her cold, selfish, insufferable arse of a husband! Forced into each other's company by circumstance, the couple begin to unravel their individual prejudices. Resentment turns into respect and friendship. Respect and friendship soon turn into attraction and affection. Was love closer than either one of them could ever have imagined? And that begged the question; can the Duke win his wife's favor, or is it far too late to make their marriage a love match? Cover by MuniWilliams.
