Rebellion's Fire
2016
“The MacHeths are coming!” By 1156, Malcolm MacHeth, one time Earl of Ross, languishes a prisoner in Roxburgh Castle while his rampaging sons raise rebellion in his name. Optimistically, the King of Scots promises the earldom of Ross to landless Norman knight, Sir William de Lanson, if he can somehow defeat the infamous MacHeths. It wasn’t quite how William’s disgraced wife Christian dreamed of coming home. Capture by the strange and ferocious Adam MacHeth was hardly part of her plan either, although she and William quickly become pawns in his. Adam, warrior and seer, fights for his father’s freedom and for his family’s right to claim the kingdom of the Scots. Plagued by waking dreams which threaten his sanity and his life, he’s learned to use his prophecies to further his family’s goals. But when he abducts his enemy’s lady, his dreams and his desires are suddenly more personal. Surrounded by intrigue, ambition and betrayal, Christian must choose between loyalty and love in order to keep a fragile peace for her people and for the man she loves beyond life. Note: Rebellion's Fire was previously published as Rebel of Ross. This second edition contains new material for readers to enjoy.

A Constant Blaze
2017
Great destiny or enduring love? Malcolm MacHeth, one time Earl of Ross and pretender to the throne of Scotland, once believed he could have it all. Yet he has already languished in prison for half his life when his eldest son is betrayed and joins him in captivity. Malcolm’s wife, Halla, who has ruled his old earldom alone all this time, turns the disaster into a daring plan to free both men. But then Malcolm spoils everything; he doesn’t come home. Hurt and insulted, with only the companionship of her faithful harpist, Muiredach, Halla leaves the safety of Ross to rescue Mairead, the brave young woman who has risked her life for the MacHeths and is now in trouble. Malcolm, who taught himself to endure captivity, finds his new freedom even more of a challenge. But when fresh dangers threaten Halla, his family, and his people, he can only ride to their aid. But can he embrace a lesser destiny for that greater love? \*Note: A Constant Blaze was previously published as Lady of Ross. This second edition contains new material for readers to enjoy.

Burning Embers
2023
From the fires of war, a new hero rises. Fifty years after Earl Malcolm MacHeth made peace with the King of Scots, the embers of rebellion remain half-hidden in Ross, ready to be ignited by ambition and resentment. From childhood, Affrica MacHeth has adored Ferchar, the son of a local priest. Complicated and clever, fun-loving and ambitious, Ferchar secretly becomes the center of her world, and a rare bond forms between them. But a path to happiness seems impossible. Family, war and rebellion get in the way. And when the last MacHeth rising against the King of Scots is led by her cousin, it is Ferchar, relentlessly loyal to the king, who leads the army against him. Ferchar would die to protect Affrica, but is love or ambition behind his offer of marriage? And when it matters most, can Affrica really choose Ferchar over her family?
