Tempted (47 page)

Author’s Note:

I chose the name Kennedy for my heroine’s clan because Janet Kennedy was a real mistress of King James IV and was often referred to as Flaming Janet. For contrast, my hero had to be a Black Douglas, the most feared name in Scotland.

The immediate family members of my two clans are fictitious, but all the earls and heads of the clans are real historical figures, and all fell at Flodden with the king.

Every castle is authentic, as are the tartans, devices, and mottos. The hearts of the lairds of Clan Douglas are buried beneath the altar of St. Bride’s Church in Douglas.
