Blood of Roses - Softcover

The sequel to The Pride of Lions journeys back to war-torn medieval Scotland, where English beauty Catherine Ashbrooke is wrenched from the arms of her husband, Scottish warrior and spy Alexander Cameron. Reprint.

Marsha Canham is the award-winning author of twelve historical romances and makes her home in Toronto, Canada. While not a member of the half-century club yet, she is looking forward to holding her first grandchild in her arms this August.

She was inspired to write The Blood of Roses and its prequel, The Pride of Lions, by an inexplicable and intense fascination with eighteenth-century Scottish history. Among the many intriguing coincidences that occurred during the three years it took to write the two novels was the fact that the Battle of Culloden was fought on April 16, 1746, negotiations for The Pride of Lions were begun by her publisher on April 16, 1985, and the final words of The Blood of Roses were written on April 16, 1988. Neither of the latter two events was planned. They were brought to the author's attention by a third party.

Her next historical romance, Pale Moon Rider, will be available from Dell in December.
