An enduring legacy... A rebellion... A destined love...
Raised in his father’s image—practical and disciplined—there are no gray lines interrupting the Earl of Stanfeld’s black and white world. Until his mother has a dream and begs to return to her Highland home.
Alisabeth was betrothed from the cradle. At seventeen, she marries her best friend and finds happiness if not passion. In less than a year, she’s a widow. Vowing to honor her husband’s memory, she joins his activist group of Glasgow weavers and is soon embroiled in the Radical War of 1820.
Crossing the border into Scotland, Gideon finds his predictable world turned upside down. Folklore, legend, and political unrest intertwine with an unexpected attraction to a feisty Highland beauty. But Lissie doesn’t trust the Englishman or the rising desire between them. When the earl learns of an English plot to stir the Scots into rebellion, he must choose his country or save the clan and the woman that stirs his soul.

REGENCY: Gideon of Clan McNaughton, Earl of Stanfeld, has a problem — his mother. He loves her, dotes on her, and has promised to love and respect her as all good sons should, but not all sons have mothers claiming prophetic visions and dreams. Her dreams may just shatter his dreams of an entirely different sort. His plans are set aside to honor his mother. Gideon escorts her back to her homeland, little aware the omens that drove them away from England may actually be fate’s way of making all of Gideon’s dreams come true.
Alisabeth, a Scottish debutante, betrothed to her best friend from infancy, knows about love and faithfulness, and the security of a best friend’s (now husband) kiss. Everything she knows about love and passion is upended when she is widowed in a tragic accident. Her late husband’s cousin first unwittingly and then unflinchingly stirs within her an emotion she has never experienced. However, in the wake of treason and rebellion, love’s choice may inevitably break someone’s heart.
Aubrey Wynne’s epic historical romance bedazzles as much as it leaves the reader breathless! Her intricate details lavish the reader with picturesque landscapes, scrumptious dialogue, leaving nothing too small to define. The story however does not overplay the settings, being mindful of its main characters’ nuances, while providing interesting and empathetic secondary characters as well. Nothing is neglected in this charming, albeit formulaic romance. “Rhapsody and Rebellion” promises to delight all of Ms. Wynne’s fans, and is certain to gain her many more faithful followers!

"Man, talk about some sweet heat. Aubrey never ceases to amaze me with her style, perception and insight. This little jewel blew me away with all the twists and turns along with a few glitches here and there make for one enjoyable experience. The characters and their personalities are so realistic and believable it feels like you can just reach out and touch them. The explosive chemistry between the two main characters as they got to know each other as the story unfolds. The scenes are so graphic and detailed it's easy to see each scenario as it plays out perfectly. Aubrey wields her words as skillfully and precise as a surgeon with his scalpel. I love the depth and progress of the plot as well as the secondary characters. Aubrey did a magnificent job bringing this read to life flawlessly. Fantastic job Aubrey, thanks for sharing this little guy with us." -Amazon Reviewer Kaye
