She will claim no other...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:
She fled west away from the only home she'd ever known, her blood chilled, as the rain
decided at that moment to add to the chaos and fell in drenching sheets.
She couldn't allow herself to think of the fate of the men or of the sour-tongued maid as
Isobel hurried to make her escape. All she could think of was to hide herself and return to help
anyone she could later when the danger was past. If the danger passed.
The sound of swords clashing caught her attention as she continued to ride through the
tangled forest. She prayed her men would kill every last one of the brigands and that her own
men suffered no losses. When she came to a river rushing south, blocking her path, she headed
north, knowing she could never ford the rising waters. She assumed no one in their right mind
would be out in this weather, except for those in her escort and the men who had ambushed
them, and she would be safe enough on her own, if she did not freeze to death first.
She didn't stop pushing her horse, fearing her own men hadn't survived the skirmish when
no one followed after her. If she reached a village soon, she could send word to Lord Wynfield
about the plight of her escort and herself.
The rain was still coming down so hard, she didn't see a man's approach from the east until it
was too late.
"Looky what we have here," he said in a deep, gruff voice. He rode up beside her and jerked
the reins from her frozen, mitten-covered hands.
