Arran MacLawry is away from his beloved Scotland, stuck in
a ballroom in England. His older brother, Ranulf, is head
of their clan, and wants Arran to meet the woman he's
expected to marry, an alliance that will be politically
beneficial. While Arran has no immediate desire to wed,
he's willing to do his duty. But in the interim, he steals
a waltz with a captivating lady, not knowing that she is
Mary Campbell, the granddaughter of the head of a rival
clan. While the clans are currently observing a tenuous
truce, the dance causes a minor uproar among both families.
Just as Arran has to do, Mary is also expected to wed her
family's choice -- all for the clan.
Though their initial meeting was brief, Arran and Mary
enjoyed their dance. Against his own better judgment, Arran
manages to meet Mary again, and arranges another secret
meeting. It's clear that there is no future for them, as
they're both intended to wed others, but they can't seem to
stay away from each other. All hell breaks loose when they
are caught sharing a stolen kiss. Mary's almost-fiance
breaks off with her, and her father quickly announces her
engagement to a sleazy cousin she despises. Ranulf is
furious with Arran, and orders him back to Scotland, fearing
that he has caused the shaky truce to be broken.
Arran is set to go back home, but finds a way to get a
message to Mary. When he learns she's very unhappy with her
arrangements, he throws all caution to the wind, and comes
up with a scheme to spirit her away. The ramifications will
likely be disastrous, but their feelings won't be denied.
Their journey is lovely. It begins with a whole lot of
uncertainty, both about their feelings toward each other and
the future. Will they cause a clan war? Should they marry?
With each passing day, their feelings grow, and they know
they have to spend their lives together.

that...until he discovers that she’s the granddaughter of
the Campbell, chief of clan MacLawry’s
longtime rival.

Highlander…
THE THRILL OF THE FORBIDDEN
Raised on tales of savage MacLawrys, Mary is stunned to
realize the impressively strapping man in the fox’s mask is
one of them. Surely the enemy shouldn’t have such a broad
chest, and such a seductive brogue? Not that her curiosity
matters—any dalliance between them is strictly forbidden,
and she’s promised to another. But with the crackling spark
between them ready to ignite, love is worth every risk…in
