A Brand New story. A Brand New Tale Begins:
Coming June 28, 2010
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.

This book is up now at

Hello Fellow Romance Lovers:

~The new year is here. Woohoo!! I love new beginnings. I've been working hard on my next (yet-to-be-named) book for
Avon, which will be a stand alone Scottish historical that intertwines the lives of a colonial rebel and the British naval
hero she loves, both returning to the land of their roots.

~Next Release: I finished revisions and copy edits for my June 2010 book, 'Claimed By a Scottish Lord'.
And Scotland has never been so hot!  (Except maybe when Gerard Butler is on the screen. :-)

If you would like to know more about this exciting new adventure romance, continue reading!!
