Peep this beautiful cover and read the blurbs below.
His Wild Highland Lass by Terry Spear
Lady Sorcha Barclay fled her brother-in-law's castle because of his
unwanted advances. An awe-inspiring circle of standing stones captures
her attention and she captures the attention of the laird who owns the
land.
Laird Ronan Daziel takes Sorcha to his castle to protect her and
give her a home. Before long, he wants much more. He's duty-bound to
take a wife whose clan wishes an alliance with his. So why does he long
to have something more? Everyone loves the lass as much as he does. But
he has pledged his loyalty to his clan. Taking Sorcha to wife could lead
to battle on several fronts. How can he wed another when she stole his
heart from the first moment he laid eyes on her near the ancient
standing stones on his lands?
The Highlander's Charm by Eliza Knight
They should be enemies… But passion and love know no bounds.
Returning from battle to England, Samuel de Mowbray discovers that
his two younger sisters have been stolen by Highlanders. Determined to
save them from vicious warriors, he convinces the king to send him
north. While there, he discovers that his loyalties are wavering and
that a headstrong, feisty lass could destroy everything he believes.
Catriona Buchanan must travel north to ask for help in saving her
brother and ridding her castle of brutal English knights. Unfortunately,
to do so, she must trust in the thing she mistrusts the most—an
Englishman. Minute by minute, the man who should be her enemy breaks
down her defenses. There is something different about him and she can’t
help but be captivated by Samuel, and his steamy kisses.
Heart of Stone by Willa Blair
Riding home after two years away, Gavan MacNabb encounters a lass
and her deerhound in a moonlit circle of standing stones. Little does he
know the garland of bluebells she weaves and the spell she sings will
change the course of his life.
Marsali Murray doesn’t really believe the old wives’ tale that
making a chain of bluebells by the standing stones under a waxing moon
will bring true love, but she’s desperate to try anything to escape the
boring, everlasting sameness of her life.
Gavan has already seen much of the world denied to Marsali. He’s
ready to settle down. She is eager to spread her wings. Can they find
what they need with each other?
Kilts and Kisses by Victoria Roberts
Since the deaths of her parents, Ceana Gunn has lived in the shadow
of her uncle and his family. She wants nothing more than to see her clan
the way it was when her father was still laird. But her uncle has other
ideas. Ceana soon discovers that the only refuge to be found is in the
last place she expects—the arms of her enemy.
Luthais MacKay wants to be left alone. His only interest is training
his prized hawks. He certainly doesn’t have time to listen to the petty
squabbling of his clan when his father travels to Edinburgh and leaves
him in charge. But when Luthais discovers a mysterious woman on his
lands, he’s determined to unravel her secrets…one layer at a time.
My Captive Highlander by Vonda Sinclair
Can unexpected passion and a little ancient magic turn enemies into lovers?
During a fierce storm on the west coast of Scotland, Shamus
MacKenzie barely survives a galley wreck only to be captured and held
for ransom by the enemy MacDonalds. Aided by the gift of second sight,
Maili MacDonald, sister of the ruthless chief, senses the handsome,
dark-haired stranger will somehow be important in her life. Compelled to
help him, she insists on providing him food and a healer to see to his
injuries. She knows she is daft to fall in love with this captivating
warrior after one forbidden kiss but cannot help herself. With each
visit from Maili, Shamus finds his thoughts consumed by the enchanting
lass. Can he convince her to help him escape the dungeon and prevent the
impending battle between the two clans?
