The King's Commander

2020

He cared only for duty—Until he met the one woman who could claim his heart. My mission is clear. I’m to go to Murwood End, the land of the Voyagers, to retrieve the king’s secret son. With the heir dead, it’s our only hope for saving our kingdom from those who would destroy us. But complications arise from the start. No one knows when the king’s son will return from his latest mission, or at least no one will say. And his closest friend—a woman, a Garra—seems to loathe me on sight. A further complication: I’m completely captivated by her. In Meria, Garra practice their healing arts in secret, but there’s nothing covert about this bold, beautiful woman. In the beginning, I tell myself I’m only pursuing Aedre Lorenson for her connection to the king’s son, but I know it for a lie. She has awakened something in me, and I’m torn between doing my duty as the king’s commander and following my heart.

My Highland Bride

2021

Our kingdom sits on the brink of another war with Meria, and as the queen’s commander, it is my duty to pull it back. Unfortunately, Lord Moray, the one man who could help us establish lasting peace, is a notoriously stubborn Highlander . . . and also my father’s nemesis. I expect resistance when I approach Lord Moray at the Tournament of Loigh, but he surprises me by agreeing to help—on one condition. I must marry his daughter, the fiery girl I once knew as a child. An appealing proposition, except there is, of course, a catch: Lady Reyne must accept my proposal of marriage, and she insists on marrying for love. The sparks are immediate when Reyne and I first see each other again. Pursuing her is no mere duty, but new obstacles block our path at every step. Reyne has heard rumors of my supposed affection for the queen, and worse, the men who conspire against the queen are planning something wicked. I am on the brink of everything I’ve ever wanted—stopping this endless war and starting a family—but it could all come crashing down in an instant.

Taken by the Elderman

2021

Kidnapping the queen’s sister was never part of my mission. The Elderman I’ve taken too many vows, including those of an Elderman, pledging myself to God, to be enticed by a woman such as Lady Hilla. I will not deviate from my mission because of a traitor, even one as intriguing as the princess. The Princess Finally separated from the vile man I’d been forced to wed, I yearn to be reunited with my sister, the Queen of Edingham. My only goal is to aid her in bringing the vicious renegades to heel and reunifying our feuding kingdoms. It seems, however, that my mysterious new keeper has other plans for me. From the dangerous Borderlands and the lush southern capital of Meria to the untamed wilds of the northern lands of Murwood End, two unlikely allies band together on a journey to save their kingdoms. From enmity comes forbidden love—while the Elderman’s secret identity, one that threatens to tear this new love apart forever, is revealed. Fans of The Last Kingdom and Vikings who also enjoy a little HEA in their epic medieval sagas will love Taken by the Elderman, a standalone romance and also the third installment in the Kingdoms of Meria series.

Her Voyager King

2022

I am no king. Born a Voyager, the son of a mercenary, I’ve resisted the summons of a man who calls himself my father. I’ve resisted his pleas to accept my rightful place as Meria’s heir. I’ve resisted the norms that define men and women of the capital. One thing I cannot resist? The wine merchant’s daughter. I am no king, but nor will I forsake those who look to me to save them. With Castle d’Almerita under siege, the capital of Meria surrounded by forces vying to overthrow the man who gave me life, I journey south. And meet Lilah along the way. Stowing away aboard her father’s merchant ship, en route to a city under siege, Lilah and I find each other once again. This time, I do not mean to let her go. But when the king suggests a plan to end this bloody battle, I must choose between my Voyager ways—taking what I want, including Lilah—and saving the very kingdom I came here to protect. Fans of The Last Kingdom and Vikings who also enjoy a little HEA in their epic medieval sagas will love Her Voyager King, a standalone romance and final installment in the Kingdoms of Meria series.

Romance that transports... Cecelia Mecca is the bestselling author of steamy historical romance and also writes contemporary small town romance as Bella Michaels. Armed with a Ph.D. and lots of chai, she's known for giving readers "heroines who you want to be your best friend." When these ladies meet alpha-males who try to gain control, sparks fly until the very last page. One reader says, "No one can so completely wisk you away like Cecelia." From the 11-book Border Series, which takes readers to an admittedly romanticized time of knights and castles, and Order of the Broken Blade with its secret knightly order, to Cecelia's co-authored Scottish time travel series, Highlander's Through Time and Enchanted Falls, Cecelia loves transporting readers to another time and place. In Kingdoms of Meria, Cecelia takes readers to a place they've never been before. Her brand new series, Brotherhood of the Border, is a Border Series spin-off which takes place thirty years later. Our Highlander-loving author can be found in Northeast, Pennsylvania thinking up new ways to tame both medieval and contemporary bad boys. She is firmly House Stark and Gryffindor and loves all things fantasy, especially when tinged with a bit of steamy romance.
