Part of Series
Recluse ex-Special Forces Sergeant Major Travis MacKay, fearing the violence unleashed inside him when he brutally kills four men viciously attacking a female aid worker, vows never to raise his hand in anger again. Arriving at Blackstone, he remains reclusive, becoming enamored with the portrait of a young woman who, in his opinion, understood only too well what remaining true to oneself costs. Legend says she fell on her sword. History says she was murdered. When he’s thrown back in time to 1540, arriving in the midst of a battle, he comes face to face with the legendary Lady “Skye” MacDougall. As acting liege of Blackstone, Skye is in a fight for her life after defying her king by refusing to marry a coward. Fueled by cultural differences and outside factions, a battle of wits quickly develops between Travis and Skye, eventually forcing both to reevaluate their previously held convictions and expectations.
Author
Librarian Note: There is more than one author in the GoodReads database with this name. See this thread for more information. Award winning author Sandy Blair has slept in castles, knelt in cathedrals where kings and queens have been crowned, dined with peerage, floated along Venetian canals, explored the great pyramids, misplaced her husband in an Egyptian ruin (she continues to deny being the one lost,) and fallen (gracefully) off a cruise ship. Winner of Romance Writers of America© Golden Heart for Best Paranormal Romance, Sandy’s debut release A MAN IN A KILT also won the 2004 National Readers Choice Award for Best Paranormal Romance and was a 2005 RITA finalist. Sandy loves writing about the past. "I find it easier to suspend my own disbelief when thoroughly immersed in a time when nobody worried about political correctness; when men were wonderfully alpha and had no idea they even had a feminine side, much less worried about getting in touch with it." She often adds a touch of the paranormal to her tales believing the very possibility expands the imagination, which in turn gives her latitude with humor. Her second release, A ROGUE IN A KILT, received Romantic Times Magazine’s 4 ½ star Top Pick rating and was a National Readers Choice Awards finalist. Her third, The Accidental Duchess in the anthology HOW TO MARRY A DUKE, won the 2006 Golden Quill Award for Best Novella. Her books are now available in four languages and can be found in a dozen countries. When not writing, Sandy dabbles with watercolors, is a charity fundraiser, and loves to entertain family and friends at home. She claims the secret to hosting a successful dinner party is setting a pretty table and serving lots of wine before the meal. She currently resides in Texas with her husband.
