A sweeping tale of passion, honor, and danger set in the wilds of 16th-century Scotland.

Since the death of her husband, Lady Megan Dixon’s sole concern has been the safety of her young son and the protection of their lands. But from her first glimpse of Sir Bryan Hepburn, the new local warden, the courageous and willful Scottish beauty feels breathless and weak. Yet Megan cannot dare trust her heart to this dangerous man, for he suspects she may be behind the death of his predecessor.

Sir Bryan cannot believe that this enchanting lady is a murderess. Nevertheless, he must investigate. Keeping the peace will be doubly difficult, however, with his own heart at war—for he wants Megan with a desire that burns ever stronger. And in these desperate times, Bryan may be the only man the lovely, secretive lady can turn to. But does she dare unleash a passion that might destroy them both?

"...brilliantly plotted story. ...an extremely compelling book on several levels...left me reluctant to put it aside for even a moment. ... It is rare to find an author who does both dialogue and setting equally well, but Holling is one of those authors who presents a complete package. ... If this were not enough, the author has spun an engrossing mystery to keep the reader enthralled.  Forever, My Lady is a book with a complexity of plot that made me want to re-read it again as soon as I finished the last page."

"I always enjoy reading stories written in a fiction-based-on-fact context. Setting her story in the time when Mary, Queen of Scots, lived as Queen Elizabeth's 'guest', Jen Holling weaves the blood-feuds and political corruption of the Scottish Marches into the story's tapestry. Family secrets and interesting plot twists keep you guessing right up until the end. Add to this a wonderful romance and you have an all-night read!"
