In our oral history, the MacNeill is the underdog of the story. Malcolm fell in love with Elizabeth Campbell, the daughter of the Duke of Argyle. He was a lowly commoner working for the family. Ironically, the MacNeill clan name has to do with the proud MacNeills and Malcolm was that. He took Lady Elizabeth and their two small sons and new baby daughter to what they thought was the Carolinas. They'd paid for passage there. There was some notion that he had family there.
But the MacDonald captain, whose brother owned land and needed it settled in Prince Edward Island, and their father who happened to be the reverend over the church in the Highlands who encouraged parishioners to leave Scotland for the promised land, meant the Highlanders ended up in PEI. So the story goes.
Because of the harsh weather and no home or places to even buy supplies, the Highlanders suffered. Lady Elizabeth died leaving her 3 young children behind while Malcolm couldn't care for them. The baby daughter was raised by the Ramseys and the youngest boy by the Taylor family. The older son may have stayed with his father. We are directly descended from the youngest boy.
So in my MacNeill stories, I want them to find happily ever after...and so they do!
Beginning with Winning the Highlander's Heart.
I have two copies of this book, the older version of the cover, for two lucky commenters.
Countess Anice vows to flee the amorous advances of King Henry I, and return to her home in the Highlands, where she hopes to find a laird to wed. Highlander Laird Malcolm MacNeill, seeking an English bride, becomes entangled with the Scottish lass while trying to find out why her staff has vanished.
This is actually an Irish castle, but I had to share. I love Celtic castles!
The Accidental Highland Hero continues the story of the MacNeill family!
Lady Eilis Dunbarton’s life undergoes a drastic change
with the death of her cousin, Agnes. Now she’s faced with the
disagreeable prospect of marrying the man who was to be her cousin’s
husband. Not by a change of contract, though. Instead, by
deceit—pretending to be her cousin. But if her husband-to-be discovers
she’s not really Agnes, her life is forfeit. So what choice does Eilis
have but to flee? When Laird James MacNeill’s clan rescues a
half-drowned lass from the sea, there is speculation she is of the enemy
clan, especially since she doesn’t remember her own name. James is
immediately enticed with the lady, but his focus must remain on finding
the proper bride. For if he does not wed soon, he must give up his
holdings to one of his younger brothers. Focus slips away with each
day Eilis is close, and James finds himself contemplating the thought of
taking her to wife without knowing her true identity. But how
dangerous would the end result be? And what will happen if Eilis’s
husband-to-be comes looking for her only to find her in the arms of
another man?
And I'm working on the third book in the series:
Highland Rake. Dougald is such a rake! Though he believes others, his brothers and cousin in particular, have made him out to be the scapegoat concerning these rumors, when they are just as bad as he is!
And it all started with this guy! Ian MacNeill. :)
It's a matter of pride...
Modern day werewolf laird Ian MacNeill reluctantly allows a film production company to use his castle, but he knows his secretive clan has a big problem when a beautiful red werewolf female who insists she's working on the film keeps showing up in the wrong places... and a matter of pleasure...
Julia Wildthorn is not who she says she is-she's sneaking into Argent Castle to steal an ancient relic for her grandfather and to do research for her next werewolf romance novel. When she catches a glimpse of Ian, she realizes he's the perfect hero...

Terry,
Any and all your books look fantastic. Keep writing! You are doing so well!
Ah, thanks, Josie!! A fan actually drove 2 hours to see me and have her book signed. I fixed us lunch and picked pears for her, and then we talked books. That was what I call a perfect day!
