About the stories:

A FAMILY FOR CHRISTMAS

Laird Malcolm Sutherland needs a bride. He has few requirements of his new wife; demands he should have insisted with his former betrothed—namely, honesty, loyalty, and resources.

Lady Rossalyn Gordon will do anything to be rid of her tyrant father, even if that means deceiving the man who offers her an escape. If revealed, those secrets will either bring her mercy, or thrust her back into the hands of the devil who sired her.

When Rossalyn’s bastard of a father arrives at Sutherland Keep, going back on his word and ordering her return, Malcolm must decide if he can forgive his wife enough to listen to his heart and have a family for Christmas.



HIS BY CHRISTMAS

Fiona Sutherland longs for love with the man she has pined after since she was a lass. When he weds another she is devastated, and questions why the man she pledged her heart to has forsaken a vow made in their youth. Could loving her be so hard?

Cameron Munro adores Fiona from afar, knowing her heart has been set on another. She is everything he desires—strong, loyal, and fiery in spirit.

Determined, he pledges to prove his love to her and win Fiona’s heart by Christmas.

New Release! Highland Honor by Madelyn Hill

I am so excited to announce my new release~

Highland Honor
Book 3 in the Wild Thistle Trilogy




Lady Honor MacAllister can heal everything but a broken heart . . .

Lady Honor does not believe in marriage. Her father’s death broke her mother’s spirit and took her from her daughters emotionally well before her own death. When Honor is attacked in the forest, she keeps the event to herself, lest her lairds search for the man and strike him down. As a healer, she’ll do anything it takes not to cause harm. Rumors of attacks in the Highlands forces the lairds to increase guards and security measures. When Bryce Calder is assigned to protect Lady Honor, she fights the burgeoning attraction for the man, knowing she’ll never risk her heart to love.

Warrior Bryce Calder trusts no woman. Women only strive to better themselves through cunning, as his father warned throughout his childhood. When he is asked to escort Lady Honor while she gathers healing herbs, he is vexed. Training the men and protecting the clan are his duties, not following the sharped-tongued lass about the wood. With each passing day, Bryce becomes enchanted by Lady Honor, despite his father’s words, but his unworthiness halts any proclamation of his desire.

An unlikely partnership develops during the frequent trips to the forest and work in the apothecary. The walls each has erected to protect their hearts and their future crumbles. Until a stranger arrives at the keep. Lady Honor’s secret is threatened to be revealed putting in jeopardy the growing romance between the ardent healer and the reluctant warrior-suitor.

Weekend Reads with Dawn Ireland!


I've something new this weekend! Dawn Ireland has created a Scottish Food Quiz!


Just imagine. This is your first trip to Great Britain, and on the plane you meet the Highlander of your dreams. Tall and broad chested, with twinkling, sherry-colored eyes. He makes you laugh. No small feat because flying usually terrifies you. When you land, he insists you to join him for dinner on your first night in London.
His restaurant choice oozes charm; stunning landscape pictures line the stucco walls, the woodwork is gleaming, but worn, and the tables are solid with little vases of heather. With his hand on your back, he guides you to a private corner. The perfect gentleman, he suggests he order for you when the waiter arrives.
At your nod, he turns to the jovial man. “The lassie and I will be having Devils on Horseback, then Toad in the Hole with Clapshot, and I’d not want you to forget the Spotted Dick.”
At that comment, you spray your handsome Highlander with the ill-timed mouthful of wine you’d taken to fortify yourself for what lay ahead. With a quick glance at your dripping companion, you slouch down in your chair and hug your arms to your middle, wishing you were back in the States.
Now, the embarrassing situation above wouldn’t have happened if you’d learned about the food in Great Britain. Would you know what Clapshot or Spotted Dick are?  If not, I’ve devised a little test. Let’s see how you do.



Now you won’t be taken by surprise when you’re invited to dinner. I’m sure you’ll come to enjoy British cuisine. I highly recommend the tablet.
Oh, and better luck with your next handsome Highlander.


And since Dawn is visiting, I've asked her to share her latest work.






About the Book:

­­Caden Mackay would never bed a Sutherland, let alone marry one. Bloody hell, what had possessed his twin brother to propose to one of the she-devils? And what is Caden to do with the Sutherland beauty who appears, as if by magic, in his library? The defiant intruder is the enemy, but she is unlike any woman Caden’s ever known, and her tantalizing curves and wide green eyes could tempt a monk. He must devise a way to stop the wedding. But can he stop the desire that makes him long to make Ariel Sutherland his own?

Ariel’s life had never gone the way she’d hoped, but ending up in eighteenth century Scotland was a stretch, even for her. If not for her dog, Scruffy, she might have thought she’d walked into a romantic daydream. Especially since the object of her desire appears to be entirely too virile. But can she find her way back to her time, before her too-handsome Highlander makes her believe that love can conquer in any century?


About Dawn:

“Once Upon a Time” are four of Dawn’s favorite words, because she never knows
where they will lead. She writes stories to remind herself that even though things may seem bleak, there is always the possibility of a “Happily Ever After.” If along the way she makes readers smile, cry or see the magic in their everyday lives, then she’s done her job.

Dawn’s written several award-winning novels set in Georgian England and the Highlands – an era filled with rules and intrigue. Her characters often defy “Society” as they pursue love, run away, pursue, run away – well, you get the idea.  
Then again, she might write romance in order to do the research. What other profession encourages you to sit in the audience at Harlequin’s Male Model search, and take notes, or just sigh?

When she’s not writing, Dawn may be found singing, gardening, learning to play the harp or wood carving. She lives in a Victorian home in Upstate New York with her husband and very independent cats.

Dawn hopes you’ll read her books, and together you’ll bring to life characters that aren’t perfect, but have a story to tell.

It's Release Day! Book #1 of the Wild Thistle Trilogy - Highland Hope

I'm so excited to announce the first book in the Wild Thistle Trilogy is now released!
The trilogy is about three sisters and how each of them are guided by their father's dying words. Book 1 starts with Hope, the eldest sister, who has the unique position of running a clan as a female laird. I hope you enjoy these strong women who fight for themselves and for the men they love.




Highland Hope
Book 1 in the Wild Thistle Trilogy







“Remember, lasses. Through Hope, Faith, and Honor, ye can rule,” were the last words Lady Hope MacAlister’s father spoke before dying. Those very words direct her every action and thought. Sword fighting and leading the men of her clan was second nature to Hope and she has little time for herself or any thoughts of love. Until Aidan MacKerry is captured spying on the clan.

She is beautiful, strong, and quick to pull a sword. But when he kisses her, all thoughts of the lairdship Aidan MacKerry seeks flee his mind. When the enemy continues to undermine Hope, Aidan is determined to aid her—only he didn’t think he’d lose his heart to the Laird of Wild Thistle Keep. When the enemy reveals Aidan’s secret, he must fight for his right to be laird and prove, despite their differences, he loves Hope.

The enemy refuses to back down and continues to threaten not only Hope, but the security of the entire clan. Only together will they be able to save the clan and save their love.
