Romance Historical

The MacElder chieftain decrees that his cousin, Fiona, will wed the mighty warrior Tarr of Hellewyk to provide protection for their clan. Tales of Fiona's courage and hunting skills have spread through the land and have attracted the attention of Tarr, who wishes a strong mate. Fiona vehemently denies her chieftain's order. She wishes to choose her own husband. To foil her cousin's plan, Fiona conspires with her identical twin not to divulge their identities. Fiona will assert Aliss' calm and placid nature, while Aliss will behave in a bold and forceful manner. Amused at the attempt to prevent the wedding, Tarr accepts a postponement until he can tell the women apart. He wants a wife with substance and courage, and his sparring matches with the women prove he has found an acceptable woman. Wedding either one would be agreeable, but he's drawn more to the warrior woman rather than the healer. When an attack occurs on his clan, he returns, taking both women with him. Tarr refuses to accept the twins are besting him. Fiona fears separation from her clan, but the patience Tarr shows draws her to him. When a surprise from the past brings peril, Fiona and Tarr must unite to defeat the danger. Ms. Fletcher pits humor and romance against an action and adventure novel with good results. Readers will enjoy the headstrong Fiona and look forward to Aliss' tale.

SUMMARY

Two of a kind... Fiery Fiona MacElder will not marry a man she does not love. Her laird will just have to find another way to merge two powerful Highland clans. Luckily, her identical twin sister shares her outrage. So when the bold warrior Tarr of Hellewyk arrives to claim Fiona as his bride, the sisters stand united, each refusing to divulge the other's true identity. No battlefield has offered a more daunting challenge than the one Tarr now faces: two stubborn, secretive Scottish beauties and only one who can share his marriage bed. The only solution is to take both home with him until he determines which is his rightful bride. As Fiona's desire grows for this powerful, passionate man she has sworn never to wed, Tarr wonders if the twin he aches for is truly his intended. And in the face of a sensuous deception -- and a dire threat from an unexpected enemy -- will a yearning, loving heart show the way?
