A woman with a taste for adventure...a man who knows how to satisfy her hunger. The chef to Queen Mary cooks up fiery romance with a spirited Scottish minstrel at the most controversial banquet in Tudor history. Tristan MacKenzie, a brilliant chef in the royal household, plans to impress Queen Mary at the baptism feast for her infant son, until an intrepid minstrel, Mery Graham, arrives to stir the pot. A woman's place is definitely not in the kitchen, but daring Mery isn't intimidated by the handsome chef who's whetted her appetite for romance. Mery's impetuousness becomes a recipe for disaster as she begins to fall in love and out of wanderlust. And when insatiable curiosity lands her in the middle of a plot to assassinate the prince, Tristan must risk his life and his future–leaping from the frying pan into the fire–to save the sassy lass who has stolen his heart. 61,000 words = 296 pages R-rated for passionate passages 1542 – THE OUTCAST (a novella) 1545 – MacFARLAND'S LASS 1561 – MacADAM'S LASS 1566 – MacKENZIE'S LASS : Scottish historical romance, adventure stories, strong women, Scottish brides, Highland romance, Tudor books, traveling minstrel, medieval banquet, chef, Mary Queen of Scots, stories about food and cooking, stories with humor THE SHIPWRECK (a novella) A YULETIDE KISS (a short story) LADY DANGER CAPTIVE HEART KNIGHT'S PRIZE A RIVENLOCH CHRISTMAS (a short story) THE HANDFASTING (a novella) MY CHAMPION MY WARRIOR MY HERO THE REIVER (a novella) DANGER'S KISS PASSION'S EXILE DESIRE'S RANSOM THE OUTCAST (a novella) MacFARLAND'S LASS MacADAM'S LASS MacKENZIE'S LASS NATIVE GOLD NATIVE WOLF NATIVE HAWK
