Synopsis:
Lady Isobel is a Norman laird’s daughter, living near the Scots border where her father, Lord Pembroke, is trying to keep the peace. But her mother was a Highlander and the man Isobel loves most of all is Laird Marcus McEwan, who has been bringing news of her mother’s people for years. But now Isobel’s father wishes her wed to an English nobleman, who will carry on his title. Isobel will wed no other man but her heart’s desire—and that is one braw Highlander from her mother’s homeland.
Laird Marcus McEwan has loved the feisty lass forever. For years, Marcus has tried to convince Lord Pembroke to allow him to wed his daughter. But the Norman lord will not allow it. Then ambushes and murders make it too dangerous for Marcus to reach a peaceful resolution.
Nothing goes as planned and keeping the lass for his own is fraught with danger, as they try to determine who was behind the killings. Isobel and Marcus will do everything in their power to ensure they are together as they have always vowed they would be.
Excerpt:
Marcus nodded. "Aye, go." He leaned against a tree and waited while the rest of his men remained with him, wary and watchful.
Rob left the horses with one of the other men, then headed the rest of the way to the shieling, nestled against a cairn.
Rob had already pulled his sword out and crept toward the house, keeping to the rocks until he reached the door and listened. Then he turned to Marcus and shook his head.
He pushed the door slightly, his weapon readied. And was attacked by a young boy slicing the frigid, rain-soaked air with his sword, screaming like a banshee.
"Whoa, laddie, we are kin," Rob said, fending off the shrub-sized warrior. "He has a good swing, dinna you agree, Marcus?"
"Aye," Marcus said, smiling. "His da has taught him well."
The boy stopped attacking and looked in Marcus's direction.
"Is Ulicia here? I am her cousin, Laird Marcus McEwan," Marcus said. He was her distant cousin, but the lad didn't need to know that. He hoped his cousin had told her children of their relationship. "I must get the lady out of the rain. Will you permit us to enter?"
