I want her. She intrigues me, this fiery Scottish wench. I mean to have her. I shall survive. I will not weaken. This English lord can do as he will with me, but I shall never surrender. It is the year 1490. Stephen Parnell, Marquis of Otterburn, has been sent by Henry VII, the new Tudor monarch, to guard his northern shires against the ferocious Scots. Battle-hardened by years spent in the service of his king, Stephen is more than equal to the task and has no hesitation in hunting down the rievers who have laid waste to his people’s crops. However, his skills as a warlord are no use to him when faced with the fiery little Scottish wench he captures in battle and decides to keep as his own, for a while at least. Flora MacKinnon is used to taking charge. Her ailing father needs her, and she is determined to do what must be done to serve her clan. She does not expect to be taken captive by a mighty English warlord and certainly does not intend to anger him so much that she finds herself lashed to a post awaiting a whipping. But events take an unexpected turn. Will the mighty Marquis of Otterburn follow his heart or his head? And, when tragedy threatens, can Stephen protect those dearest to him?

Author
Until 2010, Ashe was a director of a regeneration company before deciding there had to be more to life and leaving to pursue a lifetime goal of self-employment. Ashe has been an avid reader of women’s fiction for many years—erotic, historical, contemporary, fantasy, romance—you name it. Now, at last in control of her own time and working from her home in rural West Yorkshire, she has been able to realise her dream of writing erotic romance herself. She draws on settings and anecdotes from her previous and current experience to lend colour, detail and realism to her plots and characters, but her stories of love, challenge, resilience and compassion are the conjurings of her own imagination. She loves to craft strong, enigmatic men and bright, sassy women to give them a hard time—in every sense of the word. When she’s not writing, Ashe’s time is divided between her role as resident taxi driver for her teenage daughter, and caring for a menagerie of dogs, rabbits, tortoises and a grumpy cockatiel. * From http://www.total-e-bound.com/authorde...
