Unfinished Business

2013

"I don’t understand why people don’t talk things out?" Reagan O’Riley, M.D. Too bad she did not take her own medicine. Book Two of The McKinnon Legends is aptly named Unfinished Business and finds Connor Holden, Earl of Featherstone squarely in a place he never felt he would be – in love with a woman he does not know how to win. Losing is something Connor has never experienced and does not plan on his quest for Reagan's heart to be his one failing. Book Two of this eight part series focuses on the characters of the rough-around-the edges, Connor Holden and the fiery, Irish physician, Reagan O’Riley. Both characters introduced in Book One – The McKinnon, The Beginning have come back together in a dynamic love story full of misunderstanding, deception, and ultimately forgiveness. The growth they experience through the journey comes at a great cost as is usually the case when lessons are learned the hard way. Nic and Morgan McKinnon, Duke and Duchess of Seabridge are prominent players in Unfinished Business as it would not be completed without their rock-solid presence. Several more characters are introduced further layering the story more deeply and fully and propelling it forward through time. Join them on their quest to become The McKinnon Legends.

Shades of Grace

2012

“Can I take it from your reaction that I have convinced you to forgive me,” Cullen asked seductively pulling away from Grace’s lips, sending a shock wave of pleasure jolting through her. He was so sure and confident in his ability to melt the object of his attention. “Forgive you? No, Marshal McKinnon, I just wanted you to have a taste of what you can never have.” In this third installment of The McKinnon Legends, we see Cullen McKinnon, Brother to the Seventh Duke of Seabridge deeply entrenched in a tale of murder, assassination attempts, and the mystery of who is Gray Martin. Cullen is used to having his way with women. He treats them well and respectfully, not that it matters. Most of these ultra-easy conquests mean nothing to him. The personification of sin itself in a pair of Wranglers, Cullen is well connected socially, politically, and physically. He is all about control when it comes to his professional life. As a U.S. Marshal based out of San Antonio, Texas, he has to be in control. That goes double for his love life and control in that arena is easy. There is zero risk of him loosing his head over a woman, because his heart already belongs to his brother’s wife. And he has certainly come to terms with the fact that Morgan is certainly a woman he can never have, ever. Immortalizing her, he remains comfortable in unrequited love. It is just easier then letting it go. As a lawman, Cullen is naturally suspicious. When he contracts with Amazing Grace Genealogy Services to locate any record of his long lost nephew, Decklyn McKinnon suspicion raises the longer he works with the company’s representative. Something about Gray Martin peaks his interest. Unable to leave well enough alone, Cullen inadvertently blows Grace’s cover exposing her to the assassin she has been on the run from for the past three years. Cullen has a decision to make, but is he prepared to let the ghost of Morgan go?

Of Purest Blood

2013

Gage McKinnon, Duke of Seabridge, stands in the middle of his richly appointed study looking at the woman who raises such conflicting emotions in him. He loves her and deeply desires her, yet he fears what she represents. He is human. She is not. “You are not like me, Sara, no matter how much you want to be.” “You know, Gage, you are absolutely correct. I am nothing like you. You are a breed unto yourself. Feel free to look it up. You will find it under cold-blooded bastard,” Sara said just before closing the door. The Maji, an ancient race of shape shifters falling into the abyss of extinction, finds the last of their purebred females dead in spite of their best efforts to hide her from The Hunter Society, a group bent on their total eradication. Dr. Sara Reed, a half-human, half-Maji, is the Maji’s last and only hope of survival. Having lived her life on her terms on the far outer fringes of Maji society, Sara must make a decision: turn her back and walk away or help the very people who have shunned and ridiculed her all of her life. Gage is making that decision just a little easier. Gage also finds himself torn between his duty to the family name and the desires of his heart. His children will be the future dukes and duchesses in a line spanning centuries. In his mind, those children must be worthy of the name McKinnon. No matter how much he loved her, Sara is not human and his fear of the Maji’s power is a greater deterrent to following his heart. Gage also is faced with a dilemma when asked to assist in pulling the Maji back from the brink of extinction. Will he turn his back or do what is right?

Armed And Dangerous

2013

“I cannot believe he walked away from that crash without so much as a scratch. There is some destiny yet to be fulfilled for Mason McKinnon. That is the only logical explanation as to why the man is still alive,” said a sports commentator during an interview on an amateur extreme sports show. Mason ignores the show playing on the television in the background and instead chooses to focus on the mission file in front of him as he sits across from his brother Robert, CEO of McKinnon-Bride Personal Security. Mason has always lived life on the edge, pushing the envelope. That is nothing new, and he likes it that way. He knows he is dangerously reckless in his private life and gives new meaning to the term daredevil, openly calling himself a widow maker. He certainly does not need the press or Robert’s personal assistant, Barbara Allen, to point that out to him every chance they get. However, when it comes to business Mason does not fool around, and when it comes to executing the plans of a mission there are few to match his skill set in the industry of personal security and hostage re-acquisition. The current mission requires the same level of precision as all the other past missions and then some. This time the life of ten-year-old Jesse McKinnon hangs in the balance, and his strike team is all that stands between her and certain death. Barbara Allen goes about her life giving the casual observer the impression that she is mousy, introverted, and unsophisticated. Using this to her advantage, her preference is to melt into the background. Life in the fast lane is certainly not for her, and she has for years feared that the fast lane is where Mason will meet his demise. Choosing to keep her personal life very private, most people, including Mason, know very little about her background. Little do they know that appearances are deceiving, and they are in for the shock of their lives. They’ll never see it coming.
