800 years ago in a medieval Scotland not too different from ours...

Lady Alina Kerr, an orphaned soothsayer,  must marry to protect her clan but she'd rather return to her abbey. When she foresees a horde of northern invaders descend on her glen, she worries she's tarried too long in settling on a husband. 

Magnus Sinclair sailed to the lowlands pursuing his sister's abductor. He intended to return to the highlands to resume his role as his clan's best warrior. But something about the lady behind the walls of her clifftop castle beckoned him.

They discover an otherworldly passion with each other but the future holds secrets that threaten their new love and, perhaps, Alina's very life. Will their bond be strong enough to see them through?

***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
WitchHunter ✔️ by EmilyAnnGoodwin
49 parts Complete
A WitchHunter with a glorious destiny. An assassin desperate for freedom. A stable boy with a dangerous secret. A friend with a hidden family. A brother who craves vengeance. ~~~ The deceit is this: The Hunter has a Lochri daughter. The stable boy has a secret curse. The WitchMaster isn't what he appears. No one knows how or why the Lochri came into being. Some believe it was the work of gods. Others, many, many others, believe they are spawned from something much darker. WitchHunters, employed at Hunter's guilds, live their lives in search of these monsters, these unnatural beings who dare to question the order we have kept in place for centuries. I do not hold the title of WitchHunter, however, for I am something far more sinister. I am Alice, the Demon Raven of Kindleridge, and I'm their Ace. ~~~ They call her the Ace, the assassin owned by Velius Dag, highest ranking WitchMaster in the Kingdom. For six years, the Ace has lived mostly unbothered, but all that will change when Hale Arsen, Velius's adopted son, returns to the Ridge, and the Ace is assigned to protect him, as he will one day become the future WitchMaster. Tensions rise as the two clashing personalities come together time after time in feud, but with the Lochri problem growing ever stronger, and secrets begin to unravel themselves, these two opposing forces will have to realize that working together may be the only way to keep the world from figuring out the truth that could spell disaster for them all. What happens when you realize you might be the bad guy?

Mathan and Helen💕 "Help me make Alastair and Gretchen fall in love." She pleaded sinking into his arms. "That's a dangerous game you're playing lassie." He murmured kissing her hair and making his way down to her neck. "One I know you'll be very good at playing." She smiled up at him. "The things you make me do woman." He groaned blinking his surprise as her fingers found and cupped him. "You can't say I don't make up for it." She smiled as his lips came down on hers. "Are all you English women this cunning?" "No." She shrugged, "I'm an exception." "Indeed you are." When Mathan had been asked suddenly by Alastair to take over his duties for the day as he hastily rode off to Edinburgh on the King's command, he had expected nothing out of the ordinary to happen in the usually peaceful town of Ayrshire but when a red haired Vixen blows into their sleepy town anger directed at his cousin over an arranged marriage they all knew nothing about, he knew he would have his hands full keeping the town together. At least her demure handmaid had brought a little bit of calmness where her mistress raged on like a thunderstorm. What happens when the little woman he deemed calm starts to exhibit a fire that attracted him more than he thought possible? ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ When Helen is told that she and her Lady are to move to the barbaric North, she hoped for the best even though a part of her worried for hers and her Lady's well being. But when they drive at the cozy town of Ayrshire and the only fire she has to deal are that of her mistress and the growing desire she was feeling for the giant Scotsman, she seems Scotland not so bad after all. What happens when a Northern playboy meets a seemingly homely Southern woman? Will love conquer all or will they never be able to meet at the middle?

Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.
