“Bite me again, my lady, and I will show you how to do it properly.” Theirs was not the friendliest of first meetings. Sent to rescue Lady Freya from the king’s men, Sir Rory Waryn is unprepared for the baron’s daughter to fight him. To treat him as if he is the enemy. To be uncharacteristically immune to his charms. But rescuing her is his mission, and by God’s teeth, he never fails a mission. Until now. The carefully laid plans of the Brotherhood—rescue Lady Freya, return her to her men, and avoid the wrath of a vengeful king—unravel rapidly. She fights Rory at every turn. She refuses to retreat to Bristol Manor. She asks for aid he cannot give. The Waryns are already in King Edward’s crosshairs. Another wrong move and Rory’s father could end up as Freya’s did, with a noose around his neck courtesy of the very king of England himself. Why, then, is Rory entertaining the lady’s demands instead of following the Brotherhood’s plan? The answer, he fears, is something he’s spent a lifetime avoiding.
Author

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.
