Danger Is Sweet  
By Cornelia Amiri

   Bethoc's plan to assassinate Kenneth McAlpin, the Scottish king for the death of her father and betrothed, goes awry when Malcolm the king's cousin stops her. When the handsome warrior doesn't kill her on the spot she finds that his kind eyes and perfect physique sends waves of desire and trepidation coursing through her veins.

   Malcolm doesn't know what to do with the bow-wielding lady warrior. Her silky hair and lithesome form make him want more from her than he is able to give in return. She would flee from him if she knew the truth of what he was and where he came from. It would probably be for the best that he put the sultry Bethoc out of his mind, and possibly even his heart.

   Bethoc and Malcolm are united in a hand-fasting ceremony to prevent the lady warrior from being executed for her crimes. Together they learn to love and find that the difference in a Pict princess and a Scottish warrior can be overcome.

    When Bethoc is injured, Malcolm realizes that in order to save his beloved, he may well have to share his secret with her. Bethoc's discovery that she has wed a Selkie, a mystical and mythical sea creature, throws her off balance. She pushed Malcolm away and fears she may have pushed too far.

   Ms. Amiri's flair for fantasy, coupled with historical facts and an eye for detail, make Danger Is Sweet an emotionally charged and spellbinding novel.
