In the dead of night with deliberate determination, a
young mother gathers her toddler and flees her brutal past in hopes of securing
a chance at a better future for her daughter.

On the journey through Scotland, Abigail and her precocious toddler, Jessalyn,
meet up with a band of Highlanders led by the arrogant Laird Duncan MacDugal,
known for his superior skills on the battlefield and ability to intimidate even
his toughest rivals.

With Abigail’s fiery temper and Duncan’s difficult disposition, they find it
impossible to agree on anything. However, their struggles can’t compare to the
battle of wills between the fierce laird and the obstinate toddler. No one
could have predicted the infamous, mighty warrior would find his toughest
adversary in this pint sized opponent.

Will the laird, mother, and child be able to figure out how to become a family?

sanctioned by a local crime boss.

Colt Christianson, homicide detective for the Fort Worth Police Department, is

Guest Post Michelle Lowhorn:

Hello from Texas. 
I’m Michelle Lowhorn and I write contemporary and historical romantic
suspense.  I’m so excited to be a guest
on Maureen’s books!
I’m a true romance novel junkie and I’ve always dreamed
of being a published author, so I thought I’d write a book, a romance novel of
course.  Sounds simple enough,
right?  Oh, so not true!  I wrote a couple of chapters before I decided
it was a total waste of time and set it aside. 
Throughout the year, I’d write off and on until I finished the
book.  The following year I wrote a
second one but still didn’t do anything with them.  After some encouragement from family and
friends, I decided to look into publishing but I had absolutely no idea how to
get a publisher to look at my work. 
While I was reading one of my favorite author’s blog, I noticed she
wrote for several different publishers. 
I picked two and emailed my books to them.  I never expected either one to respond.  But within a week, Rebel Ink Press offered me
a contract! 
The absolute best part of becoming an author is all the
readers I’ve met.  I’ve been to a couple
of signing events and I always manage to meet other die hard readers like myself.  We usually end up talking about all the
authors we love.  Since I read many
different romance genres that it’s difficult to pick only one favorite
author.  I’ve read every book written by
Julie Garwood.  I especially love her
highlander books.  Maya Banks’ highlander
books are wonderful.  I’ve read all of Laurann
Dohner’s books so many times that I’ve practically memorized them.  I could go on forever about all the
incredible romance writers that I love.
I currently have six books published and working on the
seventh..  If I go very long without
writing, I get antsy and the only thing that will calm me is to write.  I have several books started and I hope to
eventually finish all of them.  I’m very
methodical and proactive at the beginning of every story.  I develop the characters, make an outline for
the whole story, I write in a quiet place, and I try to write down ideas as
they come to me.  However, after I start
writing the book, everything changes. 
The story starts to take on a life of its own and sometimes goes in a completely
different direction.  This could probably
have something to do with my ADD.  Just
maybe.
My latest books are part of The Unloveable Series which
is about a retired team of mercenaries that feel they’ve done and seen too much
evil to be worthy of love.  My latest
release is Taint.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/24501760-taint?from_search=true

The last two years have been brutal for Harper
Thomas.  She’s learned quite a few
lessons the hard way.  She now knows that
to survive, she has to use every resource at her disposal and the only person
she can rely on is herself.
When guilt ridden mercenary, Kai Williams, was hired to
track a lovesick old man’s materialistic, runaway girlfriend, he never imagined
the minefield of deceit he’d have to navigate.
Will Harper be able to let her guard down to trust
someone else and will Kai learn the truth in time to not only save her but
himself?
