Aileana Chattan suffers a devastating loss, then discovers she is to wed neighboring chief and baron, James MacIntosh — a man she despises and whose loyalty deprived her of the father she loved. Despite him and his traitorous clan, Aileana will do her duty, but she doesn’t have to like it or him. But when the MacIntosh awakens something inside her so absolute and consuming, she is forced to question everything.
James MacIntosh is a nobleman torn between tradition and progress. He must make a sacrifice if he is to help Scotland move forward as a unified country. Forced to sign a marriage contract years earlier binding Lady Aileana to him, James must find a way to break it, or risk losing all — including his heart.
From the wild and rugged Highlands near Inverness to the dungeons of Edinburgh Castle, James and Aileana’s preconceptions of honor, duty and love are challenged at every adventurous turn.

How is Writing In Your Genre Different from Others?
Historical romance requires a lot of research, but so does a lot of other genres. What I find different is developing the knack of knowing when to step away from the history and let the fiction take over.
What Advice Would You Give Aspiring Writers?
1) You are the only person who can write your stories. Believe it.
2) Find yourself a good crit partner or two and learn how to properly critique (loads of good articles online)
3) Surround yourself with positive people.
4) Just write.
Author Bio:
Kate Robbins writes historical romance novels out of pure escapism and a love for all things Scottish, not to mention a life-long enjoyment of reading romance. Her journey into storytelling began with a short screenplay she wrote, directed, and produced which was screened at the 2003 Nickel Film Festival in St. John’s, Newfoundland. She has also written and directed several stage plays for youth.
Kate loves the research process and delving into secondary sources in order to give readers the most authentic historical romance possible. She has travelled to Scotland and has visited the sites described in her Highland Chiefs series.
Bound to the Highlander is the first of three books set during the early fifteenth century during the reign of James Stewart, first of his name.
Kate is the pen name of Debbie Robbins who lives in St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada with her hubby, the man-beast, and her two awesome boys, the man-cubs.
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I overheard a conversation between two friends describing Gerry Butler and Hilary Swank`s first meeting in PS I Love You. My muse perked up and I wrote my H/H’s first meeting in Bound to the Highlander that same day.
