It's been a while since I had a giveaway. I often hear kvetching on the interwebs about how all historicals are Regencies and why don't other periods get published. To which I reply: 1) you call that a problem? and 2) it's not true. There are lots of terrific books set in other periods. And to prove it to you, I'm giving you a chance to win a signed book by my friend and fellow Richard Armitage lover Kris Kennedy.

As his men are slaughtered around him, legendary Irish warrior Finian O'Melaghlin is held captive by the despised English Lord Rardove. Struggling to break free, Finian finds aid from an unlikely source: the beautiful Senna de Valery, who is also trying to escape Rardove's bloodthirsty grasp. Risking both their lives, Senna releases Finian from his shackles so they can both flee, but their plight has just begun...

Seeking safe refuge, Finian and Senna have only each other to depend on for survival. Neither can deny their immediate attraction, but indulging their desires will put them both in grave danger. Finian vows to protect the woman who saved his life, but he soon learns she is a pawn in a much larger battle. For Senna has an unbreakable link to a priceless treasure many centuries old. It is the stuff from which dreams are made and for which men will kill-and not even Finian may be strong enough to save her...
