Blythe Gifford has a title and a date for her next Harlequin Historical. HIS BORDER BRIDE will be released in May of 2010. Set in the 14th century Scottish Lowlands, it continues her "royal bastard" series. The hero, son of an English royal and a Scotswoman, is hated on both sides of the Border. The heroine, daughter of a Scots Border lord, takes him in before she discovers his parentage, and when her father returns from the war, she faces a marriage choice she can't refuse. ***

When she gets there she finds with 800 years of history to contend with, where the past is always present.
