From the wild shores of the Scotland's Western Isles to the bloody fields of France to the glittering courts of Europe, the Macpherson Trilogy follows a family's fight for Scottish independence against the Tudor king, Henry VIII. 
Rite of Passion 
Elizabeth Boleyn has been ordered to yield to a lecherous king what she most prizes--her innocence. Now, at the tournament of two kings, her beauty has attracted not only the eyes of Henry Tudor, but those of the handsome Scottish warrior, Ambrose Macpherson, whose bold offer to bed her might be her only salvation... 

Quest of Love 
Ambrose Macpherson feels desire for the exquisite daughter of the English diplomat. That the hated English king is pursuing her makes Elizabeth an even greater prize, engulfing Ambrose's very soul with fire and fury. But suddenly, after witnessing an act of treachery that could topple the crown, Elizabeth has vanished. Ambrose knows that fate will allow him no rest until he finds the only woman he has ever loved... 

"May McGoldrick brings history alive, painting passion and intrigue across a broad, colorful canvas." 
--Patricia Gaffney

May McGoldrick, Nik James, and Jan Coffey are pen names for USA Today bestselling authors Nikoo Kafi and Jim McGoldrick. Together, they have crafted over fifty fast-paced, conflict-filled historical, contemporary, and Western novels, and two works of nonfiction.

Nikoo’s education and training was in engineering. She worked in robotics and submarine shipbuilding. Before earning a PhD in sixteenth-century Scottish and English literature, Jim pursued a hundred and one jobs, including a decade in submarine construction.

Storytellers at heart, Nikoo and Jim were always searching for careers that gave them time for both family and writing. Then, after thirteen years of marriage, they recognized each other’s creative strengths. Nikoo is all about characters and feeling. Jim is about action and sense of place. Their first attempt in writing fiction together produced their award-winning novel, The Thistle and the Rose. Since then, their stories have touched the hearts and minds of millions of readers all over the world. Their work has been translated into over a dozen languages and counting.

Nikoo and Jim are four-time Rita Finalists and the winners of numerous awards for their writing, including the Daphne DeMaurier Award for Excellence, the Romantic Times Magazine Reviewers’ Choice Award, three NJRW Golden Leaf Awards, two Holt Medallions, and the Connecticut Press Club Award for Best Fiction.

The authors make their home in California.

Here is a complete catalogue of May McGoldrick, Nik James and Jan Coffey’s work, in chronological order.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT READ!!!
Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2019
This is the first book that I have seen by Stephen Ellis Natelson MD. BUT, even though that was the case, it was still a great read!!!

The story is about an android who works for the NSA. The way that the scenes are described make you feel like you are there witnessing it all. I also enjoyed the way that the music lyrics were inserted into the story - to where you could almost envision listening to the music while you are reading the story. I don't write spoilers - so you will just have to read it for yourself to see what happens!!!

Once you get into this story, you will find it hard to stop reading until you reach the ending.

5.0 out of 5 stars Strong heroine
Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2008
McGoldrick uses Elizabeth as a strong inventive intelligent resourceful woman that you can admire and root for. McGoldrick creates a plot so strong that you can't imagine your way out, so you must read the next page to see how she delivers her heroine. I have almost every book McGoldrick has written and she reminds me of an even better Catherine Coulter because her plots are more complex but have moments of light humor, suspense and true love that are great features of historical romance. She does not disappoint you for that happy ending. Ambrose understands the courage and sacrifice of this good woman who captivates him. You don't want to put this book down. The beginning hardship the heroine finds herself in is appalling and scary, and the villian is not as evil as Elizabeth's own father. Such strong characters make for good reading. five stars McGoldrick. The historical note on the end is so cute and memorable. McGoldrick has a style of her own that's a winner.
