Heather McCollum | Title Challenge: HIGHLAND BEAST

pinterestInstagramgoodreadstwitterwebsitefacebook

Hi romance lovers! I’m Heather McCollum, USA Today best-selling author of Scottish Historical Romance. I’m excited to announce the release of my newest book about a brawny, tortured hero with a golden heart and a feisty heroine who is desperately trying to save her sister. He’s an executioner, and she’s a midwife. Can two people on opposite ends of life come together?

HIGHLAND BEAST- Raised to be the Horseman of Death, Bàs Sinclair is tasked to kill the lass (Shana) who gave him his very first kiss. Refusing means war. Following through means death to his own soul.

H is for Highlands, my favorite setting, which is full of raw beauty and rich history.

I is for Ilsa & Iona, Bàs’s Highland Coos who get washed downstream.

G is for Gorgeous Glutes!

H is for Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Bàs and his three brothers were raised to play the parts by their mad father.

L is for Lies that are told against Shana and her sister, deadly lies.

A is for Attraction, which ignites to burn out of control between Shana and Bàs.

N is for Now. When Shana and Bàs come together, they only focus on the Now instead of Bàs’s horrible past and Shana’s uncertain future.

D is for Death, which Bàs was named by his anguished father when Bas’s mother died giving birth to him. Bàs means Death in Scots Gaelic.

 

B is for Beasts, which Bàs keeps because they don’t judge him. He often thinks he’d rather be a beast than a man.

E is for Elephants, which are not in this book because the first elephant was seen in Scotland in 1681 and this series takes place in the 1590s.

A is for the Annoying Arse, Joshua, Bàs’s older brother who I find hilarious.

S is for Stones that Bàs collects for each one of his kills, setting them in an intricate rock garden as a memorial.

T is for Tortured, because Bàs is my most tortured hero with the biggest heart (and biceps!).

 

HIGHLAND BEAST is the 4th book in my Sons of Sinclair series, but can be read as a stand-alone book.

HIGHLAND BEAST by Heather McCollum

Sons of Sinclair #4

Highland Beast

Bàs Sinclair is the cold and brutal hand—and sword—of justice across the Highlands. He has one destiny: to bring fear into the hearts of guilty men. But when he is called to execute a midwife for her crimes, he cannot raise his weapon. For Bàs already knows this lovely, part-wild creature. After all, she gave him his first and only kiss…

Shana Drummond will do anything to protect her beloved sister. Now her cruel, merciless brother-in-law has called upon Bàs to have Shana killed for crimes she didn’t commit. She can’t reconcile the cold, lethal warrior before her with the gentle one she met—nay, kissed—only days before.

But mercy from Bàs can only lead to one thing: war among the clans. A war that will test allegiances, tear families apart, and challenge everything Bàs knows about himself and his heart. Because once this Highlander knows love, nothing will stop him from keeping Shana safe…even if it means destroying his own destiny.
