Just Once in a Verra Blue Moon What happens when a twenty-first century business executive is expected to fulfill a prophecy given at the birth of a sixteenth-century seer? Of course, he must raise his sword in her defense.

You're going to love this! (And isn't this cover fabulous?) Thanks for joining us today, Madeline! **Madeline Martin** Oftentimes we as writers will write the characters we wish we could be. That is most definitely the case with the Mercenary Maidens series where the heroines are swept into an underground organization of all female spies. These women are tough, skilled and all kinds of awesome. In honor of the release of my second book, Highland Ruse, coming out, I’m going to share how my Mercenary Maidens are awesome spies and how I am so not. The Mercenary Maidens are trained to be stealthy and can walk quietly when needed. Every joint in my body audibly pops, especially my ankles. The Mercenary Maidens are fluent in English and Gaelic with some of the girls also able to speak several other languages. I can pass with rusty French and know enough Spanish to get me onto an episode of Dora. The Mercenary Maidens have an expert on medicine, healing and gadget creation. I swear by Motrin, abhor the odor of Valerian root and manage to break most things I touch. The Mercenary Maidens have mad skills at being covert and smooth, lying when necessary to ensure their survival and success. When I try to lie, my face goes all red, my arm pits get sweaty, my brain overheats and I can’t remember what gibberish I’m spewing on about. The Mercenary Maidens are graceful and sure of themselves whether fighting, or captivating a room. I have actually tripped up an entire flight of stairs only to fall once I got to the top. I’ve fallen down quite a few as well, and regularly trip over the sidewalk, my own feet and air. The Mercenary Maidens have amazing fighting moves they execute with grace and skill. My hip pops when my foot goes higher than my waist. The Mercenary Maidens are exceptional horse riders. I rode a pony at a Ren Faire once. The Mercenary Maidens are always planning the next move, orchestrating everything like a complicated chess game. I’m always plotting out my food schedule and fantasizing about my next meal. The Mercenary Maidens navigate an elegant party seamlessly and beautifully. I once fell in a fountain while holding a glass of wine. The Mercenary Maidens know how to use many different weapons and with considerable skill. I cut myself on a plastic butter knife once and burned my chest when a spent bullet shell fell down my shirt. The Mercenary Maidens can fight in a corset. I can barely take wearing one more than five hours without feeling stabby. The Mercenary Maidens are able to handle Scottish rain, sleet and snow. I’m a Florida girl who dons a parka when it hits 60. All that said, I think you can understand why I write about spies instead of trying to be a spy myself. But the concept is so cool, I just can’t get it out of my head! So, all those fun ideas get put into my books for my heroines to navigate to perfection and I get the experience of writing about it. Win, win! * * * About Highland Ruse: Kaid MacLeod couldn’t protect his clan from an unimaginable slaughter that killed his father and many of his people. He knows retaliation will only bring more death to his people, but if he does nothing, the massacres will continue. His clan is growing angry and all seems lost…until Kaid discovers his nemesis’s betrothed will be traveling through Scotland. Abducting her will give him the leverage he desperately needs to end the slaughter and bring peace to his clan. Delilah Canterbury is not the highborn daughter of a noble, nor is she by any means wealthy, she’s merely pretending to be a Scottish laird’s betrothed as a means of bringing justice to the man rumored to seek vengeance. Beautifully dressed and ready to succeed on her first mission alone, Delilah is more than she seems…she’s a trap. Matters get complicated as the truth behind their intentions come to light, especially when a sizzling attraction blossoms between them. With so many lives on the line, and loyalties pledged, will Kaid be able to save his people? And can their love survive the lies and ultimate betrayal? * * * Praise for Highland Ruse: “Fans of swashbuckling, high-drama adventure and romance are sure to revel in the second entry in the Mercenary Maidens series. With an empowered heroine and tormented hero, a high degree of sensuality and a fast-moving plot, readers are sure to be satisfied from beginning to end. The added mystery and contemporary theme of addiction enhance the story so it truly resonates with readers.” – RT Reviews * * * Buy Links: Free Preview of Ch1: http://www.madelinemartin.com/2017/11/highland-ruse-preview-of-chapter-1/ Amazon: http://hyperurl.co/hramz Nook: http://hyperurl.co/hrnk iBooks: http://hyperurl.co/Hrib Kobo: http://hyperurl.co/Hrkobo Google Play: http://hyperurl.co/hrgp Print: http://hyperurl.co/hrprint BN Paperback: http://hyperurl.co/hrbnpb * * * ABOUT MADELINE: Madeline Martin is a USA TODAY Bestselling author of Scottish set historical romance with tons of page-turning action and tough heroines.
