There is no escape for Constantine when she is betrothed to the notorious man she has dubbed Lord Horrible. Never before had she set eyes upon the beast but the stories of his battles reached her ears tenfold. Her fear of their wedding night is so great she and her younger sister Juliette set off on a mission. They seek to waylay a man, any man, so Constantine may have her first bedding on her own terms. Her biggest problem is her innocence. An old crone from the village vaguely told her she was to make ‘it’ pop and the deed would be done once there is blood. Lord Rory Broc, back from the crusades, finds his coffers empty, squandered by his now deceased father. He begs a boon from the King and is betrothed to a wealthy woman he has never set eyes on. His people fear him, his castle is in near ruin, and his first encounter with his betrothed has him knocked out cold and flat on his back tied to a bed.

Born and raised in Ontario, C. L. Scholey developed her passion for writing through her love of reading books as a child. Her first book was contracted in Oct 2009 the very same month her first grand son was born. C. L. Scholey still lives in Ontario, in a rural community with her husband and daughter. From the author: Hello, I'm Connie! Now that we've met how about I tell you a little about me? I love to write, it's like having a super power. I was born and raised in Ontario...yes I'm Canadian, no I don't live in an igloo, no I've never pet a polar bear, but I have run into a few black bears, seen wolves, moose, coyotes and I think there's a hundred pound squirrel in my attic. I spend as much time as I can get away with looking for rocks in Bancroft. When I'm not in Bancroft I live in a small town, so people know me when they see me. Some ask me what I'm working on—some even ask me in a regular voice not a whisper. I get bored easily, it's why one day I'll be working on assassins, the next Sci-fi, then Vikings, then vampires, then planning world domination—wait, what? Moving on. I love animals and we have a dog, 120p mastiff. He's great with the kids and careful around them, but he'd run me over for a piece of bologna. Otherwise he loves us. If you want to get to know me better join me on FB or twitter. Right now I need to change back into a mom, it's my best super power.
