Available on Amazon.com even as we speak...

Book 1 - "Love is a Battlefield"
http://www.amazon.com/Love-Battlefie...8517524&sr=8-1

"It takes a real man to wear a kilt. And a real woman to charm him out of it.


Games of Love, Book 1

It might be modern times, but Kate Simmons isn't willing to live a life without at least the illusion of the perfect English romance. A proud member of the Jane Austen Regency Re-Enactment Society, Kate fulfills her passion for courtliness and high-waisted gowns in the company of a few women who share her love of all things heaving.

Then she encounters Julian Wallace, a professional Highland Games athlete who could have stepped right off the covers of her favorite novels. He's everything brooding, masculine, and, well, heaving. The perfect example of a man who knows just how to wear his high sense of honor--and his kilt.

Confronted with a beautiful woman with a tongue as sharp as his sgian dubh, Julian and his band of merry men aren't about to simply step aside and let Kate and her gaggle of tea-sippers use his land for their annual convention. Never mind that "his land" is a state park--Julian was here first, and he never backs down from a challenge.

Unless that challenge is a woman unafraid to fight for what she wants...and whose wants are suddenly the only thing he can think about.


Warning: The historical re-enactments in this story contain very little actual history. Battle chess and ninja stars may apply. "

Book 2 - "The World is a Stage"
http://www.amazon.com/The-World-Stag...8517524&sr=8-2

"Danger comes packaged in bulging muscles...and a codpiece.

Games of Love, Book 2

Highland Games athlete Michael O'Leary is famous for his ability to charm a woman right out of her pants. Maybe a little too famous. When he's sidelined with a knee injury, his wingman pounces on the chance to take full advantage of Michael's idle time.

Trying out for the local adult-themed Shakespearean production seems simple, but there's a catch. Michael must woo the notoriously demanding lead actress, Rachel Hewitt, thereby freeing his friend to pursue a courtship of Rachel's sister.

Rachel hates the thought of handing over the lead role in her admittedly scandalous troupe to someone so wholly uneducated in the ways of the Great Bard. But she's in a bind, and the only one who can step up is a man who looks way too good in a codpiece--and knows it.

To add insult to injury, he refuses to take the role until she agrees to take his place in some barbaric warrior race. She'll do it, but not with a smile. Unfortunately, the hardest part isn't antagonizing her Scottish foes. It's resisting the one man who seems determined to line and cue her heart--forever.


Warning: This book's half-naked Shakespearean actors are not approved of or acknowledged by people with actual literary merit. Neither are the dirty limericks. "

We could turn this into another kitty-litter thread, altering the titles of the Bard's plays, but I'm sure we be Xcommunicated.

Oh, man is it tempting, though.
