Series Overview
In the time
of Tudor rule, when the land grew untamed and the men fought fiercely, the
HIGHLAND HEARTS trilogy follows Scottish warriors of the Macbain and Munro
clans on their quests for justice and survival. This historical, paranormal
romance series sweeps from the raw grandeur of the Highlands to the opulence of
King Henry’s court, where bold strategies,
royal intrigue, and murder twist together with white magic as these warriors
become entangled with three English lasses from very different lives. With
secrets exposed and distrust shadowing their happiness, can they conquer the
darkness to win the purest form of magic that exists – love?
In total,
the HIGHLAND HEARTS series includes three main, full-length novels, CAPTURED
HEART, TANGLED HEARTS, and CRIMSON HEART. A very short novella (13K words),
HIGHLAND HEART (missing the all-important “s” at the end) is a prequel to the series, revealing how the first
dragonfly-magic came to the western Highlands. UNTAMED HEARTS is a long novella
(40K words) which bridges the gap between TANLGED HEARTS and CRIMSON HEART.
Although each title is written to stand alone, reading them in the following,
chronological order will enhance one’s immersion into this 16th-century world of adventure, love,
and magic.

All of the covers are great, but I like Tangled Hearts the best. Of course, I like the sexy man with the sword, but the background scene is interesting, too.
