Book Description
When Duncan Maclean and Caitriona Menzies first set eyes on each other at a Highland wedding, they fell instantly in love. “I am yours,” Caitriona promised him that night. “Yours and no other’s.” But Caitriona is not in charge of her own fate, and when her parents tell her that Duncan—a younger son with no title or lands—has been so badly injured in battle that he can be a husband to no woman, she finds herself given to Cormag MacPherson in marriage. Cormag, however, is like the devil incarnate. He abuses his wife and servants, and Caitriona knows that if she doesn’t escape, she and her maid Jessie are doomed. Fate takes a hand when power-hungry Cormag kidnaps the wife of Robert Stewart, and Duncan, still recovering from his war injuries, learns where his sister by marriage is being kept prisoner. He is stunned to discover that Una is not Cormag MacPherson’s only prisoner: Caitriona needs him desperately, before it is too late. Fighting against almost insurmountable odds, Duncan sets out to rescue his stolen love. Hurting from his wounds, tortured by Cormag, he has to face the battle of his life.

Book Description
Rhona Maclean dreams of being swept off her feet by a highlands hero: a man who is handsome, strong and brave and loves her more than life itself. Those dreams collapse into ashes when she is stolen from her home one dark night and delivered into the hands of a warrior from a rival clan. Calum Stewart has long planned his revenge on the Macleans for the murder of his beloved sister and his brother, and he cares not for the feelings of one frightened lass. Rhona finds herself in the hands of people who loved Flora and Jaime Stewart—and who hate her with a passion. Warfare breaks out between the Macleans and the Stewarts and other clans take sides, with feelings running high. The King has to intervene, and Rhona becomes a pawn in Highland politics. She is forced to wed Calum Stewart, her cold and vengeful captor. Handsome and strong he might be, but the hero of her dreams he is not. Lonely, heartbroken and baited at every turn by Calum’s bereaved mother Moira, Rhona settles into her new life, bleakly certain that things could not be worse. Her new husband does not mistreat her, but nor does he love her. Her fate seems sealed. But in the Highlands, tempers run hot, passions ignite and Fate has a way of stepping in…

Book Description
A daughter of Scottish spies who is 'touched by the fay'. A dispossessed Laird, raised in secrecy by loyal servants. And cruel rival clan leader who is determined to keep his spoils... Isobel Hay is the youngest daughter of Owena and Rory Hay, an unconventional couple that have been loyal spies for the King of Scotland all their lives. Their two eldest children, Gavin and Mairead Hay, have also proved themselves brave and loyal in service to the king—but flame-haired, blue-eyed Isobel is different. Her family have always known that their strange young daughter has been touched by the fay, but they are ill-prepared when she is drawn into clan warfare surrounding the man she has always known she will marry—the rightful Laird Mackenzie. Fergus Mackenzie was driven out of his home by the McGregors in a night of death and flames when he was but a child of eight summers, and hidden away by loyal servants until he is old enough to reclaim his heritage. But on that dreadful night, so long ago, Fergus had a vision of a red-haired babe that he thought of as his salvation. Both he and Isobel, raised in different homes, have always known that they were meant to be together. But ten weeks before Isobel is to wed Fergus, the warlike McGregors set fire to the Hay keep and steal Isobel away—along with her wee niece, Seona. Now it is up to Fergus to unite the restive clans who may have reason to rise up against the McGregors and the Gunns, and rescue his Isobel before they decide she is of no use to them and kill her. But will the clans support him? Are there enough of them? And... will he get there in time?

Book Description
Isla Campbell likes nothing more than being out in the bracing wind and snow of the highlands, hunting or practicing her skills with a dagger. Finlay MacGregor has spent most of his adult years as a warrior, fighting for his King or his clan, sating his appetites with tavern wenches and enjoying a wager with his friends. Then one day, Finlay’s friend Malcolm MacGregor challenges him to a wager, but laughingly refuses to tell him the penalty if he loses. Confident, Finlay agrees… but when he does indeed lose, finds that his task is to escort Malcolm’s headstrong sister, Isla, on one last hunting trip before she has to face the distasteful task of choosing a suitor. With bad grace, Finlay takes Isla out hunting, but after an accident ends up recuperating in the Campbell keep. Isla is his unwilling nurse, and although both feel the flames of attraction, they battle each other as much as his wound. It seems that they are fated to remain apart. In a final showdown, Finlay has to prove himself worthy of his wild huntress. But can he give up his warrior’s lifestyle?

Book Description
Anne Maclean is a highlander’s daughter: born of a proud clan—and, like her aunt and uncle, a brave and loyal spy for the King of Scotland. The Maclean clan has many enemies, but none so vicious and determined to kill them all as Col Pearce, a King’s soldier who saw his career crumble by ill health after being wounded by Mairead Hay, Anne’s cousin. Col has vowed revenge, and does not hesitate when he gets his chance to kill Anne’s partner Hew and take her captive. But while Col Pearce has been following Anne, he himself is under scrutiny for his cruelty not only to Scottish clans but the English as well. The King of England has tasked Wade Harland with finding Col and taking care of the problem… but Wade has also heard whispers of Col’s vendetta against the Hay and Maclean clans. When Wade and his partner Robin find Hew’s body and evidence that he has taken a woman, they set out to find Col and rescue her. For Wade is convinced that the woman is Mairead Hay, a Scottish spy to whom he owes his life. When he finds that the woman is not dark-haired, level-headed Mairead, but a flame-haired Scottish spitfire who hates the English with a passion, he has to work hard to make her trust him. Worse, he knows that Col has vowed to kill them both. Wade and Anne find themselves not only fighting for their lives, but also fighting their feelings for each other… and denying a love that can never be. An English Lion and a Scottish spy… their relationship is surely doomed.

Book Description
Hamish Maclean has overcome many challenges in his life, but none so difficult as the one that faces him now: how to win the trust of a woman who has borne too much mistreatment in her life. Jessie Gunn trusts no man, and has good reasons for feeling that way. Renowned for his fierceness on the field of battle, and especially for the hot temper that has seen many a warrior quail, Hamish has been content to encourage the rumours that enhance his reputation. It’s to his benefit that other clans and warriors think twice before facing Hamish Maclean. Until now—when he yearns for a woman who abhors violence and thinks that Hamish is the embodiment of all she detests. Hamish has never forgotten his first sight of Jessie Gunn. Then a quick-tempered youth with blood running hot in his veins from battle, he came across the young lass cowering in a dungeon: battered, bruised and covered in the blood of one of Cormag McPherson’s cruel guards, lying dead close by. Jessie was then like a wild thing, ready to attack any male who came hear her. Now, six years later, she is content with her life in the service of her beloved mistress Caitriona, safe in the Maclean keep. She is adamant, however, that she has no use for a man. Then disaster strikes, and once again Hamish and Jessie find themselves caught up in a war between clans caused by a woman’s need to defend her honour. Hamish is distraught about bringing trouble to his clan, while Jessie is terrified that she will lose her freedom. Laird Maclean has a solution—but will the troubled pair agree?
