Description (Publisher Website)
In 16th century Scotland, young Miss Florie Gilder runs away from her drunken foster father to
find her real father and her noble heritage. Along the way, she is accused of theft, becomes a fugitive hiding in a forest, and is accidentally wounded by a handsome local huntsman. The huntsman--a Robin-Hood figure who poaches wild game from the landowner's estate to feed the starving poor--carries the beautiful maiden to a church where she is guaranteed 40 days of sanctuary from the law. During that time, he learns her true story, falls in love with her, and helps her in her quest, at the risk of his own life.

About Kira Morgan
Kira Morgan (pseudonym for Glynnis Campbell)
When Glynnis isn't writing historical romance, she's the voice of several cartoon characters, the wife of a rock star, and the mother of two nerdy kids.
Glynnis started her eclectic career as a ballerina in her hometown of Paradise, California, where she became the city's Gold Nugget Queen. She graduated from CSU Chico with a degree in Music with Distinction, singing arias by day and playing rock and roll at night.
A lifelong love of towering castles, trusty swords, and knights (and damsels) in shining armor prompted Glynnis to try writing historical romance. Her premiere novel, MY CHAMPION, was a finalist for a RITA, the romance industry's equivalent of an Oscar, for "Best First Book." Her subsequent MY WARRIOR, MY HERO, and A KNIGHT'S VOW received multiple awards and critical acclaim.
Under the nom de plume of Sarah McKerrigan, Glynnis has written three medieval romance novels for Warner Books featuring kick-arse warrior wenches: LADY DANGER, CAPTIVE HEART, and KNIGHT'S PRIZE.
Glynnis' husband of 23 years is Richard Campbell, vocalist/bass player who has performed with Natalie Cole, Badfinger, Tiny Tim, Joe Cocker, Ashford & Simpson, Edgar Winter, Ringo Starr, Simon Kirk, Peter Frampton, Three Dog Night, Chuck Negron, Dave Mason, and is currently touring with America. Her daughter Brynna has created her own major, Entertainment Industry Promotion, and is pursuing a singer/songwriter career, and her son Dylan is attending college as a percussionist.
My Thoughts
Fans of historical romance won't want to miss this fun romp. I've read a lot of historical romances and yet this one had elements that were new and interesting. I think that Morgan has a plot line that is full of interesting characters, that will pull you in and have you rooting for them from page one. Excellent romantic escapism!
