I want to express my deepest gratitude to Vonda Sinclair and the rest of the Fierce Romance authors for having me today. It’s such an immense pleasure to be here and share with your readers my great news.
As
you all may know, yesterday was the feast day of St. Patrick. But what you may
not have realized about the world renowned holiday is that it’s also the
release day of my Emerald Isle Trilogy
Boxed Set! Pretty cool, huh?
What
makes this boxed set even more special is that it contains three full-length
historical romance novels for only 99 cents! And yes, it’s only offered at that
price for a limited time, so in order to score this great deal, you’ll need to
act fast.
To
give you some background on the books, I’ll first start with where it all
began: Ræliksen, book one of the
trilogy.
This
book is about a charismatic Viking chieftain and warrior, Dægan Ræliksen, who
falls in love with an Irish princess, Mara. It’s no surprise that the Irish
kings of the 10th century didn’t care for the invading Northmen who
took over many of their ports. But historically, they also banded together to
try to rid them from their shores once and for all. Mara’s father, the king of
Connacht, was one of the thirteen kings who gave thought to joining this
campaign. However, his daughter falls prey to another band of Vikings set on
war with the Irish. Dægan must save her from these ruthless men, while trying
to win her father’s favor. Therein, lies the major conflict for book one.
Book
two, Mac Liam, is about an Irish
hunter, Breandán Mac Liam, (whom we meet in the first book), and who is also in
love with Mara, but from afar. She doesn’t know him as he’s just a common man.
This book begins seven years after the ending of the first, and still the Irish
hunter cannot rid the beautiful princess from his heart.
While
the first two books are about two very different men who love the Connacht
princess and the lengths they are willing to go to ensure her safety, the third
book, The Fall of Rain, takes place
in modern times when a Norse archeologist traces his Scandinavian roots back to
Ireland. Not only does he unearth some very prominent artifacts from beneath
his island cottage (that the reader will recognize from the first two books)
but he’ll also come in contact with an American female tourist who’s on
vacation. Through their encounters, she stirs up some pretty uncanny emotions
for him—as if he’s known her once before.
In
book three, I bring the characters (and even the reader) full circle in a very
unique and heartwarming fashion. Each book of this unforgettable trilogy ends
with a cliff-hanger and many unexpected plot twists that continue to tangle the
web of this intricate love triangle. Only in the final book, will every unknown
be ultimately revealed for the best “Happy Ever After” ending of all time.
It
took three long years to research and write these books so dear to my heart and
now they’re finally together in one boxed set. So without further ado, I
present to you my blood, sweat, and tears—literally. I hope you enjoy reading
them as much as I enjoyed writing them.

Ræliksen,
Book 1
Mara, the daughter of an
Irish clansman, was raised to believe the men of the North are heathens -
murderous pagans without a moral bone in their bodies. Despite warnings of the
Northmen's raids, and the growing threat of another incursion, Mara is
continually drawn to her favorite place - the River Shannon.
Dægan Ræliksen, a wealthy chieftain from Norway's frozen fjords, secretly discovers Mara at the water's edge. He is charmed by her beauty and sensuous grace. As the days pass, his contentment with simply watching her grows thin. He can no longer deny his unabated desire for the young maiden. His search for a wife has ended.
However, Mara and Dægan come face-to-face in a time when Ireland is in turmoil - when every Irishman is being called up to fight against the Nordic foreigners. In these times of upheaval, how can Dægan make peace with Mara's father and acquire the woman he treasures? Furthermore, can Mara move past her fears and find the noble man within the savage?
Teaser Quote:
“You are correct in
saying that desires often come from things we cannot easily gain—mine, being
that of your love. By all accounts, I do wish I could steal it. But I am not
that sort of man. I will wait. Forever and a day…I will wait.”

The Fall of Rain, Book 3
Leif
Dæganssen, an archeologist from Norway, is determined to trace back his
Scandinavian roots as far as the Dark Ages and find proof of their existence on
the Emerald Isle. After several years of living off the west coast of Ireland,
he finally uncovers an ancient artifact—an intricately decorated chest with
pagan carvings—buried beneath the very porch of his coastal cottage. Knowing it
only confirms the presence of a glorified Norse-influenced settlement on Inis
Mór, he’s determined to establish a link between himself and those who once
inhabited the rugged isle.
For as long as she can remember, Lorraine O’Connor has had dreams of a Norse warrior kissing her. And even though she’s never fully understood the reason for her vivid subconscious imagination, she welcomes the meaningless and wanton pleasure of being in a Viking’s protective embrace—until the day she meets that brazen Northman on an impulsive vacation trip to Ireland.
Though blindsided by the relevance of her dreams and the strange familiarity of the man within them, Lorraine can’t help but feel a deep-seated intimacy toward Leif. And the more she gets to know him, the more she’s convinced they’ve shared a life together in a time long forgotten.

Are
the clues to their ancestral past hidden within the contents of the chest or
buried deep within their hearts?
Teaser Quote:
“What Lorraine has told you is the
honest truth. There’s no denying who you are. But until you go in that house
and dig up the evidence for yourself, you’ll never know who you used to be. Oh,
I know you’ll realize it one day. By then, I fear it’ll be too late. So, don’t
be a fool and let the only woman you’ve ever loved slip through your grasp.
Three days, Leif.”
Reviews:
"I
didn't believe it was possible to take Daegan and Mara's incredible love story
to another level, but I am extremely pleased to be wrong. Every word seemed to
have a purpose in helping create a beautiful and poetic ending to an
unforgettable trilogy. If you've never heard of the name Renee Vincent then
you're missing out on quality reading that's worth every second of your
undivided attention. It's an escapists dream and I will most certainly be back
for more."
