Claimed by the Scottish Lord
~~
Scotland has never been so hot!

The Dragon’s Captive


Raised as an orphan behind the walls of Hope Abbey, Rose Lancaster’s sheltered upbringing never
prepared her for a man like Lord Roxburghe. The fabled “Black Dragon,” Ruark Kerr hasn’t been
seen in his Scottish homeland for more than a decade—and now he has burst into Rose’s
protected world to take her hostage, intending to trade her life for the life of his young brother. But
Rose does not fear this savage, powerful lord…and she guards a dangerous secret.


Villainy called Ruark back to the borderlands, but now that he’s claimed his “prize” his path is less
certain. If he does not turn her over to his enemy, a boy may die. Yet gentle, lovely Rose soothes
his vengeful spirit, and the longer she remains by him, the hotter his passion for her burns.

Hello Fellow Romance Lovers:

This has been a long busy year for me. I completed my next book with Avon in December.
This Perfect Kiss is a June 2011 release and will feature two new characters, a former disgraced
British Naval Captain and a young American rebel, both divided by country and loyalties and a
brief past that now brings them back together ten years later in Scotland.

This Perfect Kiss has been picked up as a summer alternate in Rhapsody Book Club. Great
news for me since it's been some five years since Rhapsody has featured one of my books. I'm
quite excited. I love the hard cover and larger print Rhapsody uses with all their books.
Rose and Ruark are larger than life characters and even I was a little in love with Ruark by the story’s end...
the action scenes and love story make this an exceptionally good read. Maura~~

The attraction between Rose and Ruark simmers with sensuality like magic in the air
around them. Their desire for each other is tangible and their emotions easy to read.
Claimed by a Scottish Lord is an enchanting and timeless tale where a perfect love is
found in the depths insurmountable odds.

Melody Thomas is fast becoming my go-to author for sober, emotional
historical romances. Ms. Thomas tells a good story and tells it well. ~~--

Melody Thomas’s command of the Scottish Highlands, its people and traditions
shines through in this novel packed with passion, clashing clans and a touch of
Arthurian magic. Readers will thoroughly enjoy the complex characters and rich
plot that makes Claimed by a Scottish Lord a compelling read that is as fulfilling
as it is satisfying.
