The Highlander’s Bride by Michele Sinclair
**June 5, 2007**
Bound By Duty
Highland laird Conor McTiernay had always dreamed of an enduring love. But the reality of women who desired him only for his title and lands made him swear off marriage forever. That is until he first set eyes on the Englishwoman his men found hiding in the forest. Beneath the dirt and grime it was clear Laurel Cordell was beautiful. But would she prove to be yet another beguiling seductress or had Conor finally found the one woman who could lay claim to his heart?
Drawn By Desire
Laurel trusted that the Scottish chieftain would keep her safe from the cruel laird from whom she had escaped. Looking deep into Conor’s silver eyes she saw not only his calculating warrior ways but his quick arousal to passion. But before they can explore the growing desire between them, their newfound love is threatened by secrets from her past…
I saw this book a while back on Kensington’s site and forgot about it. I don’t think I have seen it anywhere else.
This is another one that the cover doesn’t give a good feel for a historical. The title does help though. It is interesting to note, there isn’t an excerpt up and the note on her site says one will be up in June. That might be why Michele’s site doesn’t show up until the bottom of page 2 when you search her name and the word romance on google. Her name and the title of the book is a little better and lands her at the bottom of the first page.
But the links are for her research not her book. The sequel, Highlander’s Pride, is set to come out late 2007. And she has plans for four other books making it a total of six brothers. What is up with six book sets lately? Michele Sinclair also has idea’s for a Regency, Medieval and Paranormal series (because the world needs more paranormal).
It will be interesting to see what her writing style is like. God I hope we get some really good historical romances soon.
ETS: Michele gave us some info in the comments… see below 😉
Wow – how exciting to be listed on your site! The excerpt is now up as well as chapter 1 on http://www.michelesinclair.com. Please come visit! The CONTEST has started and Chapters 2 and 3 will be up in April and May. I welcome all feedback!
Google – well, what a learning curve! My site went up in September, little did I know it took Google SIX to NINE months to fully index a new site and often longer. Once the site is up the “spiders†crawl the site and capture new information, but it takes a long time for the spiders to crawl new pages and sites. YAHOO got my site listed in less than 2 weeks. Go figure! I think the research gets links because it is linked to many other site making it go “higher†on Google’s strange system of ratings.
I do write in many genres – characters come to me and they have stories they want to be told. They pick the time and place. I just try to do it justice!
