Author: Amanda Forester

Amanda Forester writes historical romance that combines courtship with political danger, travel, and family loyalty. True Highland Spirit follows Scottish artist Morrigan McNab and Englishman Sir Dragonet through a conflict involving a stolen relic, clan obligations, and divided national loyalties. It is the third Highlander novel and was published by Sourcebooks in 2012. If the Earl Only Knew opens the Daring Marriages series in Regency England, where twins Kate and Robert must defend their family interests while concealing what happened during years abroad. The 2016 Sourcebooks novel mixes a second-chance relationship with inheritance, smuggling, and questions of identity. Forester holds a doctorate in psychology and worked in academia before turning to fiction, a background that complements her interest in motive and social pressure. Across these two books, she uses adventure to force guarded characters into cooperation, then lets trust develop through decisions made under risk rather than through social ritual alone.
