My two favorite elements of historical romances are the settings and the heroes.
The settings, because there is nothing like escaping into a different time and
place. I love immersing myself in Regency and Restoration England, and of
course, the Scottish Highlands.
Now the heroes *happy sigh*. They just make the romance, don’t they? When it
comes to John, the hero in my new book, HOW TO ENSNARE A
HIGHLANDER, I combined two of my favorite types of heroes. Highlanders and
Highwaymen. There’s just something about those highwaymen…well, the Robin Hood
types at least. Gallant, hearts of gold, but with a healthy hint of danger that
gives those handsome rogues their alluring edge. Add that sexy Scottish brogue
and a kilt flapping in the wind, and I’m sold.
Here are my Top 5 qualities for a lovable Highland rogue.
MacGregor Lairds
#2
When Lady Elizabet Harding's family is targeted by the notorious Highland
Highwayman, she finds herself wounded and an unwelcome guest of the charming
outlaw who'd ruined her reputation earlier that day. Elizabet only wants to get
even for her family's downfall, but the more time she spends with the scoundrel,
the more complicated her feelings become.
By day, Laird John MacGregor graces the court of Charles II. By night, he
exacts revenge on his enemies – one of whom is betrothed to the fiery heiress
who has, quite literally, fallen into his arms. The daughter of one enemy and
promised to another, Elizabet should be the last person John wants. Yet even as
she exasperates him, she is all he has ever desired for himself. When her life
is put in danger, he will do anything necessary to protect the women he never
expected to love…even if it means they cannot be together.
