Why did you write this book?Scandal’s Splendor is the 4th book in my Highland Heather Romancing a Scot series and it features Seonaid Ferguson.She’s the youngest Ferguson sister and has waited patiently while twelve other books were written to finally have her story told. She made it clear, she wasn’t going to wait any longer.What is your favorite genre to read?I adore historical romance, particularly Scottish, Regency, Victoria, and Medieval, though I’ll read just about any sub-genre.I started reading Regencies when I was thirteen!Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?Only one?Hmm, I’m still a bit dreamy-eyed over the Count of Monte Cristo.What are you working on at the moment, and will see from you in coming months?I’m working on a Highlander novella for a group project and as soon as it’s finished will dive into another novella for another project.Brette: Intentions Gone Astray, my third Conundrums of the Misses Culpeppers releases January 10, 2017, and Passion and Plunder, the fifth book in the Highland Heather Romancing a Scot series is scheduled to release in the spring of 2017.Expect another A Waltz with a Rogue Novella soon too.Please tell us about your latest book.A determined Scottish ladySeonaid Ferguson, a lady of Craiglocky Keep, is through with London’s Marriage Mart. After learning she has the second sight, the haut ton attempts to exploit her abilities. Even though it means she condemns herself to spinsterhood, Seonaid sets a desperate course to rid herself of her gift turned curse. As she rushes home from England, a snowstorm strands her in a crowded inn with the last man she ever wished to see again. A handsome French baron who once thought her a courtesan. And just her misfortune, only he stands between her and certain harm.An honorable French noblemanJacques, Monsieur le baron de Devaux-Rousset, ventures to Scotland to oversee his new investment; a silver mine near Craiglocky. Only a handsome profit will save his family’s destitute estate in France. But when the mine is beset with one problem after another, Jacques must instead search for an heiress to wed. He certainly should not be falling in love with the lovely, spirited sister of Laird Ewan MacTavish, a lass whose dowry is insufficient to restore his ancestral home. Nor should he consider, even for a moment, her risqué, but deliciously tempting scheme to rid her of the second sight.A danger most direMatters are torn from their hands when a dangerous adversary vows to expose Seonaid as a witch, just as Jacques’s problems at the mine escalate into deadly violence. Is it by chance, or a dark design, that both of them are beset at once …? Dare Jacques and Seonaid throw caution aside and forge a future together?About the Book

Title The Herald’s HeartGenre Medieval RomanceBook heat level (based on movie ratings): RRoyal herald, Sir Talon Quereste could never love an overly adventurous, impulsive, argumentative woman of dubious background who threatens everything he values. Lady Larkin Rosham can only despise a man who would deny her identity and steal her heritage. So why has fate thrown them together to solve the mysteries of the heart?Introducing Lady Larkin Rosham aka Liar Larkin
Welcome to Romance Lives Forever! We’re happy to have you here today.Name: Lady Larkin Rosham aka Liar LarkinAge: Twenty threeGender: FemaleBirthplace: Rosham Castle, on the coast of NorthumbriaProfession: CarterDescribe your body and build, skin tone, height and weight. Include any unique features such as dimples, freckles, or scars.I am of medium height with a slim build. As for the rest, Sir Talon Quereste describes me this way: “She possessed the most beautiful face he’d ever seen. A delicate nose flared in a perfect oval framed with fiery red tresses. Long, dark lashes fluttered over bright, exotically tilted blue eyes. A berry-red mouth formed an O. Ivory satin skin pinked over high cheekbones.Who is the significant other in your life?I was married by proxy to the Earl of Hawksedge, Sir Talon’s father, but murder prevented me from every truly becoming the Earl’s wife. Now that I’ve met the son, I can honestly say he fascinates me. However, I have my doubts that he is truly the man for me.Please tell us a little about yourself.I’m a fairly simple woman, thrust into extraordinary circumstances when my family was murdered by the man I was to marry. I suffered from what is now called hysterical muteness for seven years. When I finally regained my voice no one would believe me when I told them I was Lady Larkin Rosham, Countess Hawksedge. Instead they proclaimed me Liar Larkin for telling a truth that the murdering Earl of Hawksedge did not want to hear.If we could only hear your voice (but not see you) what characteristic would identify you?There was a time when you would not have been able to hear my voice. Now, I would say that my defining characteristic would be clarity. My voice is a very clear alto and quite soothing when I am not compelled to shout.Do you get by, live comfortably, live extravagantly?I’ve been living hand to mouth, since I left the abbey where I took shelter during my mute years. The abbess was kind enough to help me find a hut to call home and gave me a cart and horse to use in making a living by running errands for the folk of Hawkingsedge.What inner doubt causes you the most difficulty?That I may never be able to convince anyone of the truth that I am Lady Larkin Rosham.What is your breaking point?Betrayal. The betrayal of men has caused me no end of pain and anguish, first my proxy-husband, then his son who claimed to believe me then thought me capable of murder.What would you like to tell your writer?You should have made Talon believe me sooner. We would not have suffered so much, if you’d given him just a smidgen more faith in me?Buy This Book
