Sword of the Highlands
SHE HAD TO GO BACK IN TIME TO FIND THE MAN OF HER DREAMS... One minute, she’s New York heiress and art curator Magda Deacon, enraptured by the sexy Scotsman captured in an old portrait. The next, she’s falling through time to 17th century Scotland—and embarking on the most erotic journey of her life… Infamous playboy James Graham, First Marquis of Montrose, doesn’t know what to make of the strange woman who’s stumbled into his life. Her accent may be foreign, but Magda plays golf and rides like a red-blooded Scotsman—not that James could ever mistake her succulent lips and curves for anything but deliciously female… But war rages in the Highlands, the land for which James and his men will lay down their lives. And when Magda faces a terrifying enemy and a daunting choice, only her Scottish hero will be able to set things right…

Are the two books connected?

They are loosely connected. The second one takes place earlier than the first. There is some character overlap, and the way the time travel works will be slowly teased out throughout all the books. The plots, though, aren't really connected.

Hi,
I am new to your forum and would like to tell you how much I have enjoyed both of your books and look forward to the next. I was reading some of your comments and would like to tell you that I just finished reading Anne Mallory's Three nights of sin and it was wonderful I think you will really enjoy it. I appreciate everything you put into your stories and the vivid descriptions that bring it all to life as I read it.
Thanks,
Leslie Lenard

Hi Leslie! Welcome to my web site! Thanks for the kind words about my books. Yes, I can't wait to read Anne's book. My TBR pile is getting beyond my control! Anne is such a nice person, too, it makes it an extra pleasure to read her.

Live. love, laugh, learn--and feel the joy of the moment!
Dear Veronica,
I loved this book--and the man you wrote about, James Graham, Marquis of Montrose. It broke my heart to know of his death--I think I'm a bit in love with the man myself, now.
I'm so glad that you wrote a better ending for his life--a happy one. I think James, reading it, would have been both proud that you wrote of him, and glad of the ending. I can see the ghost of him, with a slight smile, as he reads.
I cried today, mourning James, and also a man I've never met, Brian Coverdale, who died of cancer. Brian was a part of a forum I've been a member of for five years now, Dick Gaughan's Ceilidh House. (Dick is a Scottish musician, activist, computer expert.)
Brian was a good man. Even though I've never met him, I'll miss him--I hope you don't think this is silly, but that's how I feel.
Happy Easter, Veronica, and thanks so much for a book I don't want to put down.
Hugs and love,
Tina

Tina, that means so much to me...thank you. I am so very aware of the need to honor the memory of these men. James, particularly, was so noble and so brave, I wanted to do right by him. It means the world that his story touched you as deeply as it did me. If you're curious to read more, Montrose, by CV Wedgwood is a WONDERFUL biography. It's an easy and very fast read, especially compared to a lot of the other accounts of the time period. If your local library doesn't have it, I'm sure you could find it on inter-library loan.
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your friend Brian. That you never met him doesn't mean he wasn't a friend. I've felt such support and cameraderie from the women in my Forums...it's absolutely true that we can find such great support in just this sort of online community.
Well, a very Happy Easter to you too. :) And a warm welcome, again, to my site!
