They disliked each other from the beginning. Sir Hugh immediately suspects the mysterious woman who lurks in the shadows at his cousin’s wedding. He'd allow no one put his family’s safety at risk, not even a beautiful Italian-born Frenchwoman whose obstinance Hugh finds strangely intriguing. When he finally learns Lady Cressida’s true purpose, his attraction for her only intensifies. Now they are working together, his desire for her proving nearly as dangerous as their mission as he escorts her north into the Scotland borderlands. By the time Hugh and Cressida reach the outlaw William Wallace’s camp, Hugh is nearly willing to follow his brother’s foolish path toward love. Until disaster strikes. Hugh must rely not only on his training as the son of an earl but also on the lessons he learned from his father's old friends—the infamous border reivers—if he is to save Cressida. In truth, if he is to save himself.
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.
