The Ramsay Castle Mystery Series
In 2023, I visited Scotland for a grand U.K. adventure. During the holiday, I had the pleasure of staying in the stately 13th-Century Dalhousie Castle, once home to Clan Ramsay. I decided to write a mystery series based in the location. Two years later and three books later, I'm proud of the Ramsay Castle Mystery Series that follows the adventures and love of Liza Ramsay and Lachlan McClaren. I'm thrilled that the series is available in time for Christmas 2025!

Liza Ramsay is career-minded and driven. She has no interest in inheriting an ancient estate in Scotland. But when she finds herself at a personal and professional crossroads, a summons directly from the Chief of a prominent Clan in the Scottish Lowlands suddenly becomes more than just a curiosity. It becomes an escape.
When Liza arrives at the imposing Ramsay castle and its sweeping grounds, she’s thrown into an investigation of the death of a young local boy, along with a host of characters who all have motivations for murder. Even the castle’s ghostly inhabitants may or may not be intent upon creating deadly mischief.
​
As the deaths multiply and the castle’s mysteries are revealed, Liza uncovers the secrets of both the living and the dead. And with time running out and a killer on the loose, Liza is in a race against time to make a decision about her future…before she’s the next victim and the Ramsay castle is lost forever.

American heiress Liza Ramsay, recent beneficiary of the thirteenth century Ramsay Castle in the Scottish Lowlands, is looking forward to a quiet winter as she plans a summer wedding to Lachlan McClaren, former groundskeeper and falsely accused murder suspect. Just as their lives are settling down from the traumatic killing spree at the castle, the pair receives a strange request from a renowned Scottish magnate to host a three-day retreat—a billionaires’ club, of sorts—for some of the richest and most powerful geopolitical players that all have agendas for mischievousness, mayhem, and malice.
​When one of the guests is discovered dead after a night of sensual entertainment, Liza and Lachlan attempt to maintain order with a group of guests that all have motives for murder. But can their relationship survive the secrets of the castle, the temptations of great wealth, and the desires of the flesh? Or will they lose their lives, and each other, trying?
