A USA Today Bestselling novel 1/4/18! 

If you loved The Wolfe, Rise of the Defender, and The Dark One: Dark Knight, welcome to the original Le Veque epic Medieval saga of THE RED FURY. England and Scotland collide in this blockbuster tale of revenge, betrayal, hope, and passion.

1233 A.D. - A young woman forced to command her father’s battered Highlander army upon his death. Her only hope in saving her home, and her life, is with a fearsome mercenary called The Red Fury.

Josephine de Carron is a young woman with a massive legacy weighing on her slender shoulders. As heiress to the Earldom of Ayr, she is a cousin to the king through her mother, and the king considers her a most valuable bargaining tool in the politics of Scotland. But Josephine isn’t a willing pawn for the king – she’s only concerned with saving her family home, Castle Torridon, from the repeated attacks of a former ally. After a particularly nasty siege, Josephine realizes that they cannot withstand another and she is forced to summon the most feared mercenary in Scotland, a man known as The Red Fury.

Andrew d’Vant is a paradox – an English knight, he escaped his wicked brother years ago and fled to the highlands of Scotland, forming one of the most rag-tag and fiercest mercenary armies the world has ever seen. He has become very rich by fighting – and winning – other men’s battles. Summoned by Josephine, Andrew’s price is too high for the beaten castle but his instant attraction to Josephine has him accepting the task for far less than his usual fee. There’s something about the strong, battered, and beautiful woman that draws him in. 

But The Red Fury gets more than he bargained for.

A simple task of defending a castle becomes an enormous and complex tale of adventure, suspicion, royal intervention, and dark family secrets. When Josephine is thrust into the king’s politics in spite of her resistance, she finds herself pledged to none other than Andrew’s wicked brother. Now, Josephine finds herself at the heart of the Kingdom of Scotland and deeply in love with Andrew, and he with her. Andrew must join with former adversaries in order to save the woman he loves from the man who ruined his life.

The Red Fury is in for the fight of his life with the prize being Josephine.

Josephine de Carron is a young woman with far too much responsibility on her shoulders.  Since the death of her brother,  the neighbouring clan have tried repeatedly to take control of her fortress.  She needs a bigger armed force to help.  A mercenary army seems the best option. 
Andrew d'Vant is the Red Fury.  Possibly the most feared mercenary solider around.  He travels with a huge army. 
He has worked hard to be the best,  because he has a personal battle he must , one day be strong enough to fight. 
The Scottish King is trying to make an advantageous ( to him)  match . That worries our heroine,  as she believes she knows who will be the sacrificial lamb. 
An epic medieval, romantic adventure.  The characters will draw you into their lives,  and the era they live in. This author gives us a really big book that has so much happening all the time.  It needs all those pages to cover the things that our characters must face.  We meet several secondary characters that I hope we will see again in future books. 
This author never disappoints me . I have thoroughly enjoyed every single one of hers that I have read.
 
Ps.  I have a sneaking suspicion that she has an issue with people in authority.  Most of her heroes have to face down the most powerful in the land.
