USA Today Bestselling Authors Nikoo and Jim McGoldrick wrote their first May McGoldrick romance using historical figures that Jim researched while earning a PhD in sixteenth-century Scottish and English literature. Nikoo, a mechanical engineer, is a born storyteller. She is all about characters and feeling. Jim is about action and sense of place. Together, they have crafted over fifty fast-paced, conflict-filled historical, contemporary, and Western novels and two works of nonfiction under the pseudonyms May McGoldrick, Jan Coffey, and Nik James.
