The Raided Heart Ocelot Press

A dangerous love, in dangerous times.

Northumberland, 1470s.

Ambitious reiver Will Hetherington wants to prove himself a competent man in the company of Robert Mathers, head of the village.

Headstrong Meg Mathers, Robert's younger sister, wants to remain at her beloved home, caring for her family, the land and the village of Long Ridge where she's grown up.

When an accident throws Meg and Will together, attraction builds, and both begin to realise they might just have met their match. But life on the 15th century border is never that simple, and Meg finds herself betrothed to the weakling son of tyrannical neighbour, Alexander Gray.

When tragedy strikes, can Meg and Will find their way back to each other, and can Will finally take his own personal revenge on Gray?

"...[Will] is a marvellous example of what a historical romance hero should be... The Raided Heart is a wonderfully tender romance set within a backdrop of hostility and questionable allegiances." -Winner of the Bronze Prize for Historical Romance, in the Coffee Pot Book Club Book of the Year Award, 2019.

"A delicious mix of historical action and romance."

"Exciting, passionate and ultimately the ending keeps the spirit of true love alive."
