A Marcher Lord: A Novel of the Scottish Borders

by Lynn Bryant

Overview

The Anglo Scottish border in 1547 is a land at war. Jane Marchant, recently orphaned, arrives from France to live with her English aunt and uncle and finds an unhappy household. A rash decision to act as messenger for an injured English courier takes her across the war torn border and into the hands of William Scott, Lord of Crawleigh, a baron loyal to the Scottish crown. As the war rages between the two nations, Jane finds unexpected peace at Crawleigh castle and realises that loyalties are never that simple in these border lands. But with secrets of her own to hide, can she reconcile her duty to her country with her feelings for the Scottish Lord who has become her protector and her friend? For Lord Crawleigh, the English girl is a distraction and a temptation. But how can he trust her when she will not even tell him her name?

About the Author

Lynn Bryant was born and raised in London's East End. She studied History at University and had dreams of being a writer from a young age. Since this was clearly not something a working class girl made good could aspire to, she had a variety of careers including a librarian, NHS administrator, relationship counsellor and manager of an art gallery before realising that most of these were just as unlikely as being a writer and took the step of publishing her first book.

She now lives in the Isle of Man and is married to a man who understands technology, which saves her a job, and has two teenage children and two labradors. History is still a passion, with a particular enthusiasm for the Napoleonic era and the sixteenth century. When not writing she runs an Irish dance school, reads anything that's put in front of her and makes periodic and unsuccessful attempts to keep a tidy house.
