Listen up, Lynsay Sands' Historical Fans. Her first historical in two years is out! And she goes back to her early roots with The Chase. The Deed was her first book and The Key her second. The Chase takes up after those two books bringing back characters from them.

Set in late 1300s, King Richard commands by royal decree that Blake Sherwell "Angel" must wed with is somewhat less than ladylike lady, Seonid Dunbar. The betrothal made years earlier, neither side now wants the marriage to proceed, but Richard is determined so there is little Blake can do but go claim his Scottish lass. Blake is none to happy to trek all the way to the Highlands to find 'sweet' Seonid has slipped off and taken sanctuary with the nuns at St. Simmians. Blake is not a happy camper, and heads to take back his bride. He does this, but the infuriating female escapes again, and soon gives Blake a merry chase all over the Highlands. As he chases his bride-to-be, he begins to admire her spirit, sharp mind and even her stubbornness, and is soon falling for his warrior-lady-betrothed. Seonid also comes to a grudging admiration of the handsome knight. As they'd gone trooping over hill and dale, she comes to believe "Angel" just might be man enough to have a strong bride. Only how does one "throw in the towel" when the chase is proving so much fun?

This is a long drink after the dry spell of no Lynsay Historicals, and a great sequel to The Deed and the Key. Great new Lynsay's Vamp fan - look for Lissianna Argeneau's story sometime next year, but her historical fans will not have to wait so long for more of her laugh out loud delightful historical tales either.

It's typically Lynsay all the way - thank goodness!
