Hearts of Steel

Posted November 17, 2025 by Willa Blair in / 0 Comments

Five fierce heroines. Five fearless warriors. Five unforgettable beginnings.

In an age of honor, vengeance, and unbreakable vows, these powerful medieval romances forge the first sparks of epic love stories—each the opening chapter in a bestselling author’s beloved series.

From mystical gifts and healing magic to Viking exiles, clan feuds, stolen memories, and forbidden desire, this collection celebrates the strength of women who choose their own fate and the warriors bold enough to stand beside them.
Steel may shape the battlefield, but only love can temper the heart.

A Knight for Kallen — Alexa Aston

Raised in a convent and gifted with the ability to read auras, Kallen finds herself under the protection of a grief-hardened knight who has vowed never to love again. But when a royal bastard seeks to use her gift to steal the throne, only Griffith’s courage—and their growing bond—can change the course of a kingdom.

Highland Prodigy — Willa Blair

Jamie Lathan hides a forbidden gift: the power to heal, a magic that could cost him his life. When apprentice healer Aftyn discovers the truth, their forbidden love forces them to choose between clan duty and the future only they can create together.

Taming the Wolf — Virginie Marconato

Waking without her memory in a slave market, Merewen is claimed by Wolf of the North—an exiled Norseman who sees courage where others see only captives. He offers her freedom if she’ll become his wife, but resisting him grows harder than resisting fate itself.

Picking Up the Gauntlet — Elizabeth Rose

Lady Raven Blake refuses to be a trophy in her father’s tournament and secretly commissions the castle’s new armorer to forge her battle gear. But when passion ignites between a noblewoman and a common warrior, their forbidden love puts both their lives—and hearts—on the line.

Knight in Her Bed — Sue-Ellen Welfonder

Accused of murdering a MacInnes woman, Laird Donall MacLean lands in the dungeon of the fiery Lady Isolde—chieftain of his clan’s sworn enemies. As desire flares between captor and captive, Isolde must choose between her clan’s vengeance and the warrior who could destroy—or save—her heart.

Previously published works, collected here for the first time to bring you five unforgettable beginnings in medieval romance.

His Highland Rose

Posted August 20, 2018 by Danielle Gorman in / 0 Comments

"What happens when three sisters gang up on their father to get what they want?"
Iain Brodie is a fierce warrior and passionate lover, but to prove he’s responsible enough to follow his ailing father as the clan’s chief, he must give up the lasses and find a bride—quickly. He doesn’t expect to fall for any of the Rose chief’s three daughters, but he can’t get one out of his mind—or heart—even when he discovers she is not who she claims to be.

Skilled rider and archer Annie Rose values her freedom. She doesn’t want to be anyone's bride, not even deliciously and annoyingly sexy Iain Brodie’s. But her father wants an alliance with Iain’s clan and he’s chosen her to forge it. Unaware she could be sealing the fate she desperately wants to avoid, Annie falls under Iain’s seductive spell at the spring known in old tales as the fairy pool.

But when her father suddenly decides against their match, Annie discovers the love she never expected to find—with Iain. To win her, Iain must risk losing everything he values—the clan he was born to lead and even Annie, the woman he sees for who she truly is—his only love.

Shipwrecked in enemy territory, Euan Brodie fears the rest of his crew are at the bottom of the Moray Firth.

Her Fierce Highlander

Posted May 5, 2026 by Willa Blair in / 0 Comments

A tension-laced Highland romance where independence is pitted against alliance and vows are tested by betrayal in blood-soaked medieval Scotland.

In dangerous times, learning to love a stranger is the greatest risk of all.

Erik Ross has wanted Fiona Rose since he first glimpsed her. Now laird, he needs her wit, beauty, and resourcefulness to strengthen his tenuous hold over his disgraced sept of Ross. Winning her hand will join his clan with hers before rapidly escalating discord can burn across the Highlands.

Though Fiona Rose has a secret that could assure her autonomy, wedding Erik Ross—a man whose fierce demeanor disguises a tender heart—tempts her beyond reason. But can the future he offers entice her to cling to him, and to the oath she'll give everything for, including her chance at freedom?

Tense, tantalizing, and slow-burning—Her Fierce Highlander is a marriage-of-convenience romance for readers who love smart women, dangerous men, and a time when the wrong choice could destroy everything.

Perfect for readers who love:

– Slow-burn marriage-of-convenience romance

– Independent heroines who love fiercely

– Fierce heroes with secretly tender hearts

– High-stakes Highland clan conflict

Highland Prodigy

Posted July 13, 2021 by Willa Blair in / 0 Comments

Jamie Lathan is a formidable warrior, yet his life depends not only on his legendary prowess with a sword, but on keeping a dangerous secret. Like his mother, Jamie wields the power of healing magic. From childhood, he knew that those skills, often feared in a woman, would be condemned outright in a man. Discovery could mean imprisonment or death, but Jamie soon learns that denying his compulsion to heal is to deny the very core of himself.

Aftyn Keith desperately tries to fill the role of Healer after her mother dies unexpectedly. Still an apprentice, ill-prepared and hampered by her illegitimate birth, Aftyn knows that her best may not be enough to keep her place as a useful member of the clan. When a handsome Lathan warrior with healing skills far beyond her ken arrives and succeeds in saving his gravely injured kinsman, she begs him to teach her.

Jamie risks everything in choosing to trust Aftyn. But when she unwittingly betrays him, Aftyn is faced with a decision that may gain Jamie's freedom, but cost her the only home that she has ever known. In the face of her growing feelings for Jamie, she knows that either decision will leave her heart broken beyond any Healer's mending.

Her Highland Deception

Posted December 21, 2025 by Willa Blair in / 0 Comments

Blinded in battle, Calum Brodie faces a future he never imagined. Once the clan’s keen-eyed scout, he now lives in shadow, convinced he has nothing left to offer—least of all to Ella Munro, the radiant lass he has long secretly hoped to claim. She deserves an unbroken man, not a warrior half-blind and furious at his own helplessness.

Ella escaped a forced marriage a year ago, and since then her heart has carried only one truth: she trusts Calum above all men. She aches to care for him as he heals, to be the light hecannot yet see. But Calum rejects her help outright, so she takes a desperate risk. Disguised as “Janet,” the healer’s quiet assistant, she tends him in secret, offering the comfort he would never accept from Ella.

When Calum’s bandages come off and her deception is laid bare, the betrayal cuts deep. How can he forgive the woman who made him doubt the very senses he relies on? And why does one stolen kiss from Ella burn hotter than all the reasons for his anger combined?

As desire flares and danger threatens the fragile peace between them, Calum and Ella must face a single, impossible question: Can a love born of lies become the truth that saves them both?

His Highland Bride

Posted August 20, 2018 by Danielle Gorman in / 0 Comments

A Dutiful Daughter No More
When Mary Elizabeth Rose’s father marries a much younger lass in hopes of siring a male heir, Mary sees her chance to escape her role as his chatelaine, but fears his next step will be to betroth her to a stranger. She has a different future in mind—with a sometimes charming, sometimes difficult and arrogant wounded Highlander.

He Owes Her His Life
Cameron Sutherland is not too delirious to recognize Mary Rose is the first woman he could seriously consider taking as his bride. He’d like nothing better than to spend years repaying the debt he owes his angel of mercy for taking him in and saving his life. First, he must convince her to defy her father one last time.

Will They Put Love Before Duty?
For Mary, Cameron has become the man whose every smile has the power to bring her to her knees. But he is as duty-bound as she is, and responsibility calls him back to Sutherland, where she fears he will stay, forgetting her and all they’ve shared. With another powerful clan’s interests at stake, Cameron’s return sets events in motion that will have life-changing consequences for the woman he can’t forget.
