Description
The Highlander's Lady
Highland borders offer treachery and love...
Olivia Smythe is the daughter an English earl and a Scottish woman. He has decided that his half-Scottish daughter should go to the Highlands for her own safety to avoid the border skirmishes that plague their area. He's also pleaded her hand to a cruel Englishman.
Laird Boyd MacPherson has no idea the Englishwoman he's saved from cutthroats is the cousin of a Highland laird. He has no idea the courage and wherewithal that this young half-Scot can muster. He is quick to find out when she runs away and seeks to hide from her betrothed and the rest of the world.
Boyd turns the Highlands upside down looking for her, only to find her in the least likely of places.
The Highlander's Lass
Mairi Douglas's daily life consists of digging up potatoes and turnips, of cleaning chamber pots, and making beds. And dreaming of a life with the young man she's smitten with.
Until the death of those dreams come about swiftly and painfully when said young man proves himself a faithless wretch.
She sends a message out begging for her removal from the keep of Calan Stewart so that her heart can heal somewhere far away from the daily vision of the wretch's infidelity.
Elliott MacPherson, the laird's cousin has been sent to Clan Stewart's keep to deliver a message, but most assuredly not the message that Mairi Douglas is expecting. Unfortunately, he bears witness to Mairi's humiliation which puts him on the wrong side of the sharp tongue of the short-fused redhaired beauty.
To complicate matters, he's to escort her away in the midst of intrigue and treachery while women are vanishing from the highlands without leaving so much as the tiniest of clues.
The Highlander's Pledge
Highland promises are forever...
Keith MacFarlane's a man on a mission. Find the babe. It is not for him to question orders. A man raised on the horse, wielding the sword, he is prone to obeying commands, even when those commands might go against the grain.
Eidith Gilbraith does not yield to any man. She's been charged with protecting the wee ones from outsiders, especially a golden-haired bairn who's captured her heart. She wields a pistol with a confidence that is all bluster as she shuns the newcomer who asks too many questions.
When the true identity of the bairn is revealed, will Eidith and Keith be able to put aside their differences to find common ground in saving the children from imminent danger? Will they have to sacrifice the feelings they've begun to succumb to in order to keep the wee ones safe?
The Highlander's Escape
There is no escaping fate…
Malcolm Drummond has risked all to save Eidith and Keith and the king's bastard son. As such, he is now a wanted man. Gone are the dreams of settling a farm in the highlands where his forebearers have for centuries, of raising a family on the island he loves more than life itself.
Malcolm is a wanted man and as such, the safest choice is to escape Scotland. To make his way to the New World and start anew.
Margaret Astley, daughter of a landed, wealthy Englishman is running away from a brutally horrid situation. She has more than herself to worry about. The baby she carries is her top priority. She boards a ship for the Colonies with the hopes that she can escape the past and give her baby a future.
Malcolm finds himself attracted to the austere, standoffish Englishwoman who carries a bairn. He wonders what her secret is, though clearly, the soon-to-be arriving bairn is no secret. Margaret needs more help than she can imagine. Will she escape to safety or choose the dangerous and risky path?
