Tagger-Toting Hellion

As a toddler, Cailin took to Broderick immediately and she became the daughter he dreamed of having. Growing up as the adopted daughter of a Vamsyrian, though, had its trauma and tribulations. Taking matters into her own hands, she insisted her father teach her hand-to-hand combat.

However, twirling daggers became second nature and wielding a needle for embroidery a pretty scary task now. How's a girl in early Renaissance supposed to woo her betrothed when she can't even run a household or stitch a cushion to save her life?

Most Popular Quote from Cailin MacDougal

“Unless you wish to keep your private jewels intact,” she warned, “I suggest you keep your distance, sir.” With her dagger at his groin, she tilted the silver-plated blade up to make her point.

Said to James Knightly in Midnight Captive, Book 2 of the Bonded By Blood Vampire Chronicles - Click to Tweet

Facts About Cailin MacDougal NOT in the Books

Cailin lived a life of fear in spite of being surrounded by love. With Angus Campbell always trying to hurt Broderick by hurting those he loved, their lives were always in danger. At the age of fourteen, Cailin wrote this in her journal:

"I love sailing across the sea, screeching with excitement at the dips and drops of the boat going over the waves and the salty water splashing on my face. Out there, no one can harm me and I’m not looking over my shoulder, wondering who is shadowing me or who is trying to kill me. On the water, I am with my father and mother and the people we trust and love. We laugh, play games, and tell stories. And when my father holds my mother as if she is the most precious being on earth, when I see the love they have for each other that goes deeper than their touch, I weep tears of joy that she has found her soul mate. Although it is sad for me, I’m okay with it. It’s not meant for me and I cannot be selfish to hate what she has just because it was meant for her. Even though James and I are betrothed, I cannot allow myself to think we'll be together because marrying him would put his life in danger."

Book Blurb

Broderick MacDougal follows the familiar yearning of his soul to a fierce warrior who is as seductive as a siren at sea - and she is just as deadly. The world of the supernatural opens to Broderick as he not only finds himself in the midst of an ancient war of shapeshifters, but the devious Cordelia Lynn Harley has re-entered his life and has a few of her own surprises.

Born into a hated race of Norse wolf shifters, Celina Hunter knows all too well the dangers of trusting anyone other than her two brothers. And yet the survival of her family hinges on trusting the strangely familiar vampire, a natural enemy of her kind yet her tribe's Shaman advisers confirm he is her soul mate. Enemy or not, Celina slips into the spell of Broderick's promises of eternal love, gambling with all she holds dear.

Broderick and Celina are bound by a curse, but having come this far through the centuries, Broderick is not about to risk his chance at having his soul mate for eternity. The price, however, may be more than Celina is willing to pay as there is more at stake than just her immortal soul. Click to Tweet
