Cornelia Amiri was introduced through books to the woman who became her favorite historical character, Boudica. The Celtic Warrior Queen made her start writing professionally. Cornelia loves history and in reading a book about the dark ages, she came across the rebel queen, who inspired Cornelia so much, she started jotting down notes, but they were fiction, visions of her involved in the Boudica revolt. Before Cornelia knew it, she’d accidentally written a rough draft for a novel. And she’s been writing books on purpose ever since. Drawing on her love of a happy ending, Cornelia has written over 40 published romance books.
Now, for the more mundane stuff — Cornelia Amiri and her muse, Severus the Cat, live amid the hustle and bustle of sultry Houston, Texas. When not writing, Cornelia loves to read, watch movies, and attend comic cons. She is currently working on a sequel to Rare Finds and a sequel to The Brass Octopus, which she is renaming and republishing as The Librarian and the Rake.
This is the first book by Cornelia Amiri that I have read. “Danger is Sweet” is about a Pict Princess named Bethoc who is determined to seek revenge on the Scots for the killing of her father and her brother. “Danger is Sweet” also is about a Scot warrior named Malcolm. When Malcolm was younger, he drowned and was turned into a seal shapeshifter called a Selkie. Malcolm longs to return the sea and live free away from humans as a Selkie seal.
Bethoc and Malcolm have been both instructed to marry each other by the future King of Alba. Bethoc is furious at the King’s decision to tell her to marry her arch enemy as punishment for trying to kill Kenneth, the future King of Alba. Malcolm can’t believe that his cousin would do this to him and force him marry a Pict Princess when all Malcolm wants to do is to return to the sea and live the rest of his life. Will Bethoc learn to love Malcolm and except her husband for who he is, or will she make his life a living hell and attempt to kill him? Will Malcolm ever tell Bethoc that he is a Selkie seal shapeshifter and that he wants to return to the ocean, or will he forever keep his secret from her? Find out what happens in “Danger is Sweet” by Cornelia Amiri.
