The Rogue’s Ring is
the third full-length book in my Treasure Tales series. The basic
premise follows The Earl’s Treasure and The Duke’s Diamond
where a treasure hunt has English noblemen and their Scottish love interests
searching for a fragment of The French Blue (also known as The Hope Diamond),
They also wish to return signet rings to noblemen who had been blackmailed.
Set in 1817 England, my hero is a rogue who loves the
ladies. As a friend to nobles, he agrees to help their cause. That this
requires him to traverse through Scotland in winter causes friction. When he
comes across bandits threatening a coach and its occupants, he shoots a bandit
and is, himself, injured.
The injured bandit is secretly a young woman named Catriona
who he knew when they were fifteen. Fast forward to her and her twelve-year-old
son WHO NEEDS A NAME. Bryce has no idea Cat is the same girl he loved
before he disappeared from her life, leaving her to raise their son. Cat’s
brother, Devlin, is a pirate and raises the boy as his son in order to keep the
shame from their family, whose last name is Douglas.
WILL YOU HELP?
The boy is twelve, Scottish, thin and tall, with dark-brown
curls and silver eyes like Bryce. They live in a cave beside the North Sea and
the village of Dunbar. He rides horses well and has learned to use a dagger, as
well as a bow and arrow. Cat worries that Devlin means to turn the lad into a
pirate.
