Standing before the altar exchanging vows with the drunken,
semiconscious philanderer she once loved, Fiona MacLean
prays her sacrifice will end the deadly feud between the
MacLeans and Kincaids. After simmering for years, the feud
threatens to erupt in all-out warfare when her brother is
killed at the hands of the Kincaid. Attempting to block her
brothers' vengeance, Fiona tricks Black Jack, the eldest
Kincaid, into marriage. Fiona hopes her actions will break
the curse that's haunted her family for centuries.
After numerous fights with his stepfather, Viscount Jack
Kincaid left home when he was fifteen. Rejected by his
family, Jack undertakes a wild life of gambling. He
surrounds himself with beautiful married women not averse
to having a good time. After a youthful disastrous love
affair with Fiona MacLean, Jack vowed never to fall in love
again. Awakening from a drunken stupor, a sober and now
married Jack faces his former love in horror. He rails that
he will not be punished for the sins of his family.
However, Fiona has backed him into a corner.
Fiona and Jack reach a tentative truce. They will not live
in one another's pocket and will part when Fiona has a
child. Jack guards his heart and believes he does not need
a family. It's up to Fiona to prove him wrong.
Ms. Hawkins successfully enters the paranormal genre with a
heroine who has a fragile hold on her magical power. When
Fiona's temper is ignited, torrential rainstorms follow the
one who crossed her. The first in a new series, HOW TO
ABDUCT A HIGHLAND LORD is a funny and delightful tale.
It's hardly the type of wedding Fiona MacLean dreamed of.
No family, no guests, just a groom who's been dragged --
literally -- to the altar. But if marriage to Black Jack
Kincaid, the handsome wastrel she'd sworn never to see
again, will avert a bloody war between their clans, so be
it. Surely she can share his bed without losing her
heart....
Known throughout Scotland and London as a wild rogue, Jack
is accustomed to waking in dire situations, but...married?
Long ago, he and Fiona reveled in a youthful passion. Now,
the fiery, sensual lass is his once more. And though their
marriage is in name only, Jack is determined to win her
forever -- body and soul....
