I just got the wedding invitation in the mail, and I am very happy and excited for the couple of course. But I will say I had a bit of a panic when I got the “Save the Date” card a month ago. I am going to have to stop hiding behind my large t-shirts and jeans and dress up fancy for the wedding. I have the dress, so no panic there. It is actually the bridesmaid dress I wore for my friends wedding last year. Super awesome! So what is the issue? Doesn’t matter what shape I am in, I still feel the pressure to lose weight and get into shape. I honestly can’t tell if it’s a blessing or a curse that the wedding is in December during the season of sweets and treats. I guess a wedding is one way to keep me in check.

Every rule has its exception — she is his.

Scotland 1808: As the laird, Cormag MacDrummond’s life is a testament to duty. His every decision has been for the welfare of his clan, his personal desires forever silenced — until an allied laird’s request presents an irresistible challenge. Tasked with protecting the laird’s enigmatic cousin, Cormag vows to shield her from the unsettling rumors that shadow her. But from the moment he meets MOIRA BRUNWOOD, with her soulful blue eyes and unyielding pride, he realizes he may have welcomed a peril far greater than gossip.

A witch or a seer? Her fate rests in his hands.

Banished from her clan for her uncanny prophetic gifts, Moira carries the burden of the Sight. Her visions have always guided her, but now they’ve led to her undoing. Surrounded by suspicion and branded a witch, she resolves to stand strong. Yet, in this foreign land, loneliness proves a fiercer foe than any whisper of witchcraft. Moira craves redemption and a place to belong — but above all, she finds herself longing for the laird whose fortress she now calls home.

A laird’s choice: the clan or the heart?

Despite his stoic facade, Cormag’s repeated acts of kindness reveal a warmth Moira never expected. His strength provides safety, his gentleness kindles a forbidden desire within her. As Moira captures his heart, Cormag faces an agonizing choice: claim the woman he loves, or honor the duties of his lairdship and protect his clan’s future.

He swore to protect her, but can he save himself from falling?

Will Cormag choose his heart’s desire or the good of his people? As tensions mount and old prejudices threaten their budding bond, the laird and the lady must decide if their love is the force that can unite or the storm that will destroy everything they hold dear.

Each love story in this series can be read as a stand-alone. However, most readers prefer to read them in order.

When Elizabeth discovers an abandoned clutch of fairy dragon eggs, Mr.Bennet finds an unhappy alternative before him. Somehow, he must save the dragon eggs, contend with the jealous estate dragon, and keep it all hidden from his family… or risk exposure of England’s greatest secret and the breaking of the Pendragon Treaty that keeps the tenuous peace between man and dragon.

And through it all, can he help his precocious, passionate daughter find her place in a dangerous world that little tolerance for little girls.
