Duncan MacCoinnich’s task… Travel to the twenty-first century Renaissance Faire, deflower the Druid virgins, and go home. Only his job is not so easily accomplished with the virgin in question, Tara McAllister. Time is running out. The evil is closing in on them both. Tara finds Duncan irresistible after what was supposed to be a mock Hand-fasting binds them. When Duncan whisks her to his home in Scotland she could accept that. But, can she forgive him for taking away her modern life when she finds herself in the sixteenth century? And is it love they feel? Or something else?

Thank you so much for having me here today. I thought I would do a post on something fun and a passion on mine. I love to create my own drinks. Vodka drinks specifically. One of my favorite and tips to the traditional vodka mixed drink is adding fresh herbs to the mix...

To me, there is nothing sexier than an honorable man contending with his own nagging desires—and failing outright. My hero Gustaf is no different, and today I shall strip him down, revealing the essence of his character and the attraction to which I have for the Alpha Male. But before I begin, I thought it necessary to give you a blurb about my historical romance, The Temperate Warrior, so you can get an idea of where our hero is in the story and his purpose within the plot.

Please help me welcome Mel Schroeder, author of Desire By Blood!

Hello, everyone! My name is Melissa Schroeder, known to many as Mel, and I am best known for my Harmless BDSM Series set mostly in Hawaii. I am a military wife with a Monty Python sense of humor with an intense hatred for bugs. Since I am known mostly for contemporary, I’m contrary enough to want to do something different. I suffer from ADD so it feeds that and keeps me happy. I came up with my By Blood series a few years ago when Nicodemus Blackburn came to mind.
