The Reluctant Highlander

An uncertain bride looks for love with a man as wild and mysterious as his Highland home in this new Scottish romance from a USA Today-bestselling author.

Ordinarily, Lady Fiona Ormiston wouldn't think of forming an alliance with an ungroomed, barbaric Highlander, despite the protection he offers. But now, by request of the king, Sir Adham MacFinlagh, a brazen stranger and outsider unlike anyone she has met before, is to be her husband. Torn from solitude and the comfort of her family to make a home with the rugged knight, Fiona surrenders to Adham's powerfully passionate--and shockingly tender--touch, only to discover her new husband's family ties may lie with an enemy of the king.

A sense of duty may have brought Adham to the marriage bed, but it's his powerful feelings for his beautiful, willful wife that will be his undoing. Ultimately, the bold knight will have to decide: Does his allegiance lie with his blood ties to the man who hopes to bring down the king or with the bride who has stolen his heart?

From the author "frequently credited with creating the subgenre" of Scottish romance with her Lairds of the Loch and Secret Clan series, The Reluctant Highlander is a rich historical tale of intrigue and desire (Library Journal).

The Reluctant Highlander is the 1st book in the Highland Nights series, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
