The heroic story of Robert the Bruce and his passionate struggle for Scotlands freedom THE STEPS TO THE EMPTY THRONE THE PATH OF THE HERO KING THE PRICE OF THE KINGS PEACE In a world of treachery and violence, Scotlands most famous hero unites his people in a deadly fight for national survival. In 1296 Edward Plantagenet, King of England, was determined to bludgeon the freedom-loving Scots into submission. Despite internal clashes and his fierce love for his antagonists goddaughter, Robert the Bruce, both Norman lord and Celtic earl, took up the challenge of leading his people against the invaders from the South. After a desperate struggle, Bruce rose finally to face the English at the memorable battle of Bannockburn. But far from bringing peace, his mighty victory was to herald fourteen years of infighting, savagery, heroism and treachery before the English could be brought to sit at a peace-table and to acknowledge Bruce as a sovereign king. In this best selling trilogy, Nigel Tranter charts these turbulent years, revealing the flowering of Bruces character; how, tutored and encouraged by the heroic William Wallace, he determined to continue the fight for an independent Scotland, sustained by a passionate love for his land and devotion to his people.

Come spend Christmas in Grass Valley at the Triple T Ranch, where mistletoe hangs abundantly and holiday magic is in the air.From the AuthorGrass Valley Cowboys Series It was a hot August day when I drove through Grass Valley, Oregon, and the idea for a book set in the small town popped into my head. One of my friends grew up not far down the road and shared wonderful stories about her experiences living in the close-knit community. Writing The Cowboy's Christmas Plan, I didn't plan on that story becoming the first book in a series, but the characters - those handsome Thompson brothers - talked me into telling each of their stories. I'm glad they did. Set on the fictional Triple T Ranch, the series highlights the three hard-working Thompson brothers (Trey, Trent, and Travis), and their mother, Denni, as well as their friends. The Grass Valley Cowboys Series, in order: The Cowboy's Christmas Plan - Trey Thompson just wanted a housekeeper and cook. He never planned on falling in love with Cadence Greer. She takes the job, right along with his heart.The Cowboy's Spring Romance - Trent Thompson is confident, laid-back, and easy going except when he's around Lindsay Pierce.
