Book Description:
In twelfth century Scotland, it
took a half-Gael with a Viking name to restore the clans to their rightful
lands. Once an exile, Somerled the Mighty now dominates the west. He’s making
alliances, expanding his territory, and proposing marriage to the Manx
princess.
It’s a bad time to fall for
Breagha, a torc-wearing slave with a supernatural sense of smell.
Somerled resists the intense
attraction to a woman who offers no political gain, and he won’t have a
mistress making demands on him while he’s negotiating a marriage his people
need. Besides, Breagha belongs to a rival king, one whose fresh alliance
Somerled can’t afford to lose.
It’s when Breagha vanishes that
Somerled realizes just how much he needs her. He abandons his marriage plans to
search for her, unprepared for the evil lurking in the shadowy recesses of
Ireland—a lustful demon who will stop at nothing to keep Breagha for himself.

About
the Author:
Something magical happened in the
musty basement of Julie Doherty’s local courthouse. She went there intending to
research her ancestry, not lose herself in a wealth of stories, but the ghosts
of yesteryear drew her into the past and would not let her go. The trail left
by her ancestors in those yellowing documents led her from rural Pennsylvania
to the Celtic countries, where her love of all things Irish/Scottish blossomed
into outright passion.
She became particularly
interested in Somerled, self-styled "King of Argyll" and progenitor
of the Lords of the Isles. In 1164, he led a fleet of 164 galleys up the River
Clyde in an all-or-nothing attempt to overthrow the Scottish crown. What would
lead a man of his advanced years to do such a thing?
Of course, history records he did
so because the king demanded forfeiture of his lands. But the writer in Julie
wondered ...what if he did it for the love of a woman?
Those early ponderings led to
SCENT OF THE SOUL, Julie’s first novel, coming soon from Soul Mate Publishing.
Readers will notice a common
theme throughout Julie’s books: star-crossed lovers. This is something she
knows a bit about, since during one of her trips to Ireland, she fell in love
with an Irishman. The ensuing immigration battle took four long years to win.
With only fleeting visits, Skype chats, and emails to sustain her love, Julie
poured her heartache into her writing, where it nourished the emotional depth
of her characters.
Julie is a member of Pennwriters,
Romance Writers of America, Central PA Romance Writers, The Longship Company,
Perry County Council of the Arts, and Clan Donald USA. When not writing, she
enjoys antiquing, shooting longbow, traveling, and cooking over an open fire at
her cabin. She lives in Pennsylvania with her husband, who sounds a lot like
her characters.
