My Reluctant Highlander, Book #3 is OUT!

by Nancy Lee Badger


Writing a series can be tough, especially for someone like me who has never really tried. I decided early on that the plot idea, characters, and all that encompasses a new book would be too long for one book. I was right. Each of my three books in my Highland Games Through Time series are full-length novels.

I still have ideas! Though I wrapped up the story, i made sure to leave enough questions concerning the lives of many secondary characters to assure that I can come back to the story line, and write about them.

For now, I want to tell you more about MY RELUCTANT HIGHLANDER, Book #3 in my series.

Book Blurb
Skye has spent the last five years trying to forget the blacksmith who followed her back to 16th century Scotland, to help fight evil. Sending Jake Jamison home against his will was a disastrous mistake. She risked everything attempting to defeat Andreas Borthwick. Jake might have defeated the evil sorcerer, preventing her husband’s death. When she prevents the sorcerer from grabbing her nephew, he takes her instead. To escape, she defies time to find Jake. 
The last person Jake wants to see is the young woman from ancient Scotland; the same woman who has haunted his dreams since she blackmailed him into traveling back in time. Before he could save Skye Gunn’s people, she had sent him home. Until he met Skye, his life had been normal. Quiet, and uncomplicated. No one knows he is a firebreather, except her. His ancestry is a mystery. When Skye falls into his bed—beaten, bloody and beautiful—Jake must choose to trust her, or turn his back on the only woman he’s loved across time.
Book #1
Skye encourages Jake to use his ability to help her kill the sorcerer. Stealing his heart was not part of the plan. Jake must share his secret, Skye must give her heart fully, and both must dare to love in the time they have.
Book #2

Highland Games Through Time-Book #2 is OUT!

As I mentioned in my post on Sept. 10th, my new series is called Highland Games Through Time. I have set the stories in both  present day, at Scottish Highland Games, and in 16th century Scotland. I am pleased to announce that the second book in the series is out! 

My Banished Highlander, though readable as a stand-alone novel, does contain characters introduced in Book #1, My Honorable Highlander.

My hero in the second book is not so honorable! I combined my love of Highland Games, which I visit quite extensively, and all things Scottish. My hubby owns two kilts and belongs to both the Gunn Clan and the MacBeans. Here is some insight into this book:


Book Blurb of MY BANISHED HIGHLANDER


 
With a letter in her hand and a Highlander at her back, what could go wrong?

When his clan convicts Cameron Robeson of treason in 1598 Scotland, the last thing he thought his cousin the Laird would do was banish him to the future. With a certain woman on his mind, he plans revenge while surrounded by the sights and sounds of the modern day New England Highland Games. His plans go awry when a comely redheaded lass wearing the Mackenzie plaid lands at his feet.

Iona Mackenzie is worried about her friend, Haven, and searches for answers among the tents at the games. Whom can she trust to help? Her father? The handsome blacksmith? Or, the tall, golden-haired Highlander? Romance takes a back seat because saving her friend is her priority, no matter how great Cameron can kiss.

When a magical amulet and an angry sorcerer send this unlikely couple back through time, more than one heart will be broken. Danger, intrigue, and threats surround them, and feelings between Iona and Cameron grow hot and steamy. They fight the sorcerer and search for Iona’s friend, the woman he vowed to steal from his cousin. Will the strong-willed Highlander and the present day witch stop fighting long enough to listen to their hearts?

Introducing...author Nancy Lee Badger

Tami has invited me to join fellow authors who have written a series and post the information here for all to see. Now that I have a series out, I am proud to join them!

A little background: I chose to set my series at present day Scottish Highland Games then gave them a paranormal twist using witches, Highlanders, and time travel. Why you ask?

For many, many years, my family and I have volunteered at the New Hampshire Highland Games. My husband has been giving his time for this huge three-day event for nearly 30 years! Ideas for a story were all around me, so I combined the sights and sounds of the athletes, bagpipes, marching bands, ethnic food, and colorful costumes to create my story.

My characters find themseleves flung out of their 'comfort zone'. What fun! Present day people are tossed into 16th century  Scotland, and 16th century Scottish hunks find themselves walking through the 21st century. It was fun to see these people struggle with what happens next.

The first book, My Honorable Highlander, was released last May and was my third attempt at Self-Publishing. I have books out with two publishers, but I had such success with my first attempt at 'doing it all myself' with my novella Dragon In The Mist, that I wanted this story 'out there'. The series, Highland Games Through Time, took off!

The Book Blurb of MY HONORABLE HIGHLANDER
