Blurb:
1288 A.D. - Sir Jamison Munro is a Highland warrior known as
The Red Lion. Big and burly, with a crown of wavy red hair, as the son of the
chief of Clan Munro, Jamison's path in life was more unconventional than those
of his clansmen. His father is a progressive thinker, knowing that in order to
survive his clan must become allied with the English. When Jamison is involved
in an offense against a neighboring clan, George Munro has no choice but to
send his greatest son south into England to protect him.
Jamison finds himself serving the House of de Lohr, old
allies of his father. When the call goes out to defend a de Lohr garrison
against a Welsh attack, Jamison rides to the siege and finds himself caught up
in a nasty battle. With the gatehouse breached, he charges in to defend the
occupants only to be attacked by one occupant in particular. What he first
believes to be a small and slender knight, he soon finds out differently. He is
met with ferocity by a skilled lady warrior.
Lady Havilland de Llion is the daughter of the lord of Four
Crosses Castle. Part-Welsh, her family is nonetheless loyal to the English and
to de Lohr. When she sees the big Scotsman, she assumes he is siding with the
Welsh and goes after him with a vengeance. Even upon discovering his loyalties,
she doesn't believe him and their fight goes on long after the battle itself is
finished. But soon enough, the contention between them turns to something else.
Politics, battles, loyalties, and roaring passions play out
in a story of high emotion and high adventure. To the big Scots knight known as
The Red Lion, nearly everything in his life has come at a price, but in the
battle for Havilland's affections, there is no price too high that he will not
pay.

Excerpt:
Jamison felt a good deal of disgust as he gazed down at the
MacKenzie stronghold from his position on the crag. He could see the house and
the farm for the most part, including the sod-walled barn his brother had
disappeared into. The biggest and most intelligent of the four Munro brothers,
Jamison was the second son but always found himself in a position of command
and control within the family. His father depended on him and his brothers
adored him. He was feared and respected by his peers as well as men from other
clans, and he was careful with his reputation.
A man’s character is all he really has, his father once told him, and
Jamison stuck to that belief, which is why he didn’t like playing the lookout
when Robert engaged in his mischief. Jamison didn’t like being put in that
position but if he didn’t look out for his brother, the man would surely get
himself into trouble, or worse. Had it not been for Jamison on numerous
occasions, Robert would have been dead.
Damn Robbie!
And then, he saw it….
Lured from his thoughts of his devilish brother, Jamison
caught sight of movement in the distant complex. He suddenly saw a small,
female body being tossed from one of the narrow barn windows – or, at least,
that was what it looked like. The woman slipped right through and fell heavily
to the earth below.
Puzzled, not to mention concerned, Jamison spurred his horse
forward, down the rocky green slope, the one that faced the ocean and the
glorious morning sunrise.
