  Elizabeth was drawn to Malcolm Burns from the first moment she saw him loading cargo onto the ship that would take her to Boston.

Elizabeth, a trained healer, struggles against the superstition of a community that sorely needs her medical expertise.

  The Flight in Winter

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  The Campbells had always been King’s men. Indeed, MacCailean Mor (Son of the Great Colin) was the Gaelic title of the Campbell chief. This was in memory of Sir Colin Campbell, murdered in the String of Lorne in 1296 whilst on King’s business. It was therefore with great heart searching that Archibald Campbell, 8th Earl and later 1st Marquess of Argyll, found himself leading the Covenanters. 
  This is the story of his life from a teenaged Lord Lorne until his execution by a vengeful Charles II. Many at the time held that it was judicial murder. Argyll was a man before his time and desired a constitutional monarchy and freedom of worship, both of which we take for granted today.

  Boudicca - The Defiant Warrior...

  "Boudicca the Defiant Warrior Queen" reimagines the legendary Celtic rebellion as a triumphant tale of freedom over tyranny. The story begins with the death of King Prasutagus, whose widow Boudicca faces Roman treachery when procurator Decianus Catus arrives to claim the Iceni kingdom as imperial property. When Boudicca protests, Roman soldiers brutally assault her daughters and publicly flog the queen herself, sparking a fury that will reshape Britain. 
  Transformed by divine blessing from the war goddess Andraste, Boudicca becomes more than mortal - a warrior queen blessed with supernatural strength and tactical brilliance. She innovates deadly scythe-blade chariots that become her signature weapons, their curved steel cutting through Roman ranks like wheat before the harvest. Her magnificent presence - towering height, flowing red-gold hair, ice-blue eyes blazing with divine fire - draws warriors from across Britain to her cause. 
  The rebellion begins with the spectacular destruction of Camulodunum, where Boudicca's chariots smash through the gates and her warriors burn the hated temple of Claudius. Her tactical genius shines as she outmaneuvers Roman expectations, using Celtic mobility and knowledge of the terrain against rigid Roman formations. 
  Her greatest victory comes against the Legio IX Hispana, where she employs a brilliant three-pronged attack that destroys the entire legion. The romantic subplot develops with Brennus of the Brigantes, a rugged chieftain whose admiration for Boudicca grows into deep love, though both remain focused on the greater cause of freedom. 
  The climax occurs at Watling Street, where Governor Suetonius attempts to trap the Celtic army in a narrow valley. But Boudicca turns the trap against him, using hidden flanking forces to attack from three directions simultaneously. Her scythe-blade chariots lead a devastating charge that shatters Roman discipline, while her divine blessing protects her from enemy weapons.

  Geneviève (Vivi) Dubois, a métisse, half-Lao/half-French, turns eighteen and leaves the French orphanage in Vientiane where she has been trapped for fourteen unhappy years. With only a distant memory of being torn from her mother’s arms at age four, she is determined to uncover what happened to her parents and locate her missing twin brother. But where to start? Orphanage and government officials refuse to reveal her origins. She leaves her strict, Catholic upbringing behind and emerges into the deeply divided world of 1931 French colonial Laos. Neither French colons nor native Lao readily accept her mixed heritage. Where does she fit in as she navigates her way, one foot stuck in each world? She is grateful for the kindness of her former French teacher, who offers her shelter and support. But she meets with prejudice, mistreatment, and rejection at every turn. Even falling in love is fraught with the cultural restrictions of two dissonant societies. A long circuitous route leads her to the past and a way forward to a better future, one where she is proud of who she is and rightfully claims her life as her own.

  Now in one volume: The complete historical romance saga—from the Scottish Highlands to the Court of Versailles—by an international-bestselling author. The Macdonald Romances collection brings together two Scottish tales of passion, intrigue, and love by Evelyn Anthony.  Clandara: It’s unthinkable—but beautiful, headstrong Katharine Fraser has fallen in love with the eldest son of her father’s longtime enemy. Notorious nobleman James Macdonald of Dundrenan is ready to sacrifice all for the woman he loves. But the fated struggle to restore the prince to the throne results in a fiery call to arms across Scotland—and a tragedy that threatens to divide the star-crossed lovers. As James vows to fight against the invading British Army, Katharine must follow her own path, even as it leads her into the arms of another man, far from the heart of her true desires and her beloved home of Clandara.  The French Bride: To settle his gambling debts and avoid being sent to the Bastille, Charles Macdonald is given an ultimatum: He must marry his cousin, the beautiful, innocent Anne de Bernard—who also happens to be the richest woman in France. However, the dissolute Charles wants only to return to the bed of his mistress, the Baroness Louise de Vitale. When Anne is brought to Versailles at the king’s command, the inexperienced bride is no match for Louise’s wiles. As two women fight for the love of one man, a deadly intrigue will unfold that could destroy one life as it transforms another.   Set against a rich historical canvas—from eighteenth-century Scotland to the French Courts—and peopled by such real-life figures as Bonnie Prince Charlie, King Louis XV, Madame du Barry, and future queen Marie Antoinette, the Macdonald Romances are prize-winning Anthony at her spellbinding best.
