Heide Middlebrook writes historical romance novels and stories as an independent author. History captured her interest as a young girl after touring historical sites, then as a teenager a love for romance reading took root. Earning her career diploma in freelance writing led her to pen magazine articles, but it was an overwhelming desire to weave a love story occurring during a historical event that inspired her to pursue her dream of becoming a novelist. Why the romance genre? Those happily ever afters!
Many of her novels are set atop of the Scottish Highlands because of her fascination about the fierce spirit of the people found within Scotland’s history coupled with her Scottish heritage.
She currently resides in south Florida with a herd of four legged friends, including one very opinionated cat.
When not creating stories, she loves to connect with fellow writers in the literary community and continues to hone her craft by attending writing conferences. Her recent activities include the 2024 Historical Novel Society virtual conference in England, along with the 2024 Writing Workshops of Boston, Tampa, Texas, and the February 8th and 9th, 2025 History Quill virtual convention.
In 2024 she established her imprint Passion Leaf Press.
She is a proud member of the Alliance of Independent Authors, the Historical Novel Society, and the Romance Writers of America.

Battle of Cluain Immorrais
Year of our Lord 1406, Ireland
Rory MacKearsin closed his green eyes, best not to look. Sixteen winters and he still closes his eyes like a wee lad of ten who thinks if the sight is unseen, it isn’t there. If he enjoyed the vista perhaps it would be easier to digest, but it was those who paid the highest coin for his strong talents who seemed to take sick joy at this vista...

The year is 1411. The campaign season has come to the Highlands of Scotland along with the conflict between Highlanders and Lowlanders in the pursuit of the Earldom of Ross. Caught in the chaos is young Greer McGray, a bold Scottish healer, and Rory MacKearsin, a talented mercenary for the opposing clan who suffers in silence from a mysterious condition undiagnosable at that time: PTSD.
Greer’s teachings passed down from the medical kindred are tested with her own nonconformist treatments in a race against time to save Rory after Greer finds the mercenary mortally wounded. Unable to turn him away, her keen medical instincts are placed to the edges of reason when feelings spark between the pair.
Once Rory discovers a warrior whose obsession with Greer has led to the murder of her brother, Rory vows to protect Greer and seeks justice for her loss.
A choice that will force the pair onto a treacherous journey surrounded by Scottish knights, secret castle passages, and Highland spies leading them to the ultimate battle of Harlaw… where Rory’s and Greer’s destinies will be sealed for all time.
