more so than ever after Isabel's uncle refused to hand-fast
with Rory's sister, Margaret who is maimed and blinded in
one eye. Isabel always felt like she was an outsider in own
her family, which includes her brothers and father. She
feels if she sacrifices herself for the good of the clan,
she will finally be accepted. But Isabel is also uneasy for
her uncle has another devious plan in store for her. She
must seduce Rory and find the "fairy flag", which the
Macleod's' cherish because it is alleged to have mystical
powers. Uncle Sleat means to crush the Macleod clan in
anyway he can, even if it means breaking Isabel's heart in
the process.

either, but to avenge his sister and the possibility of have
peace is too tempting. Rory becomes even more tempted when
he sees his new bride. Isabel is unlike any woman he has
ever seen because she blinds him with her beauty and smile.

child born of a MacDonald and will return Isabel to her
father after the year has ended. Slowly but surely, Isabel
breaks through his defenses. When they do finally become
intimate, there is no promise of a future between them.
Trust is still a very shaky thing between them. It all boils
down to Isabel and if she should betray the one she loves
most or turn her back on her family so she and Rory can have
a future together.

the eyes of her family and Rory but tries her best to make
them love her. She wants to feel as if she belongs somewhere
and won't back down from Rory's stubborn ideas and the
unfeeling insults he hurls at her. Rory's willpower soon
crumbles and it was quite enjoyable to watch this alpha male
fall for his beautiful yet innocent wife. Both are torn
because of their own personal beliefs and when Isabel's
treachery is found out, it is so heartbreaking to read. But,
Isabel makes no excuses and fights for her and Rory's love
with surprising results. For an enjoyable and sexy read with
an excellent heroine and her sexy highlander, HIGHLANDER
UNTAMED is the book to read!
Rory MacLeod is a bold and powerful Highland Chief with only
one allegiance--to his clan. He vows revenge against the
rival MacDonald clan, though duty demands a handfast
marriage to Isabel MacDonald--a bride he does not want and
has no intention of keeping. But Rory couldn't have
anticipated the captivating woman who challenges his steely
control and unleashes the untamed passion simmering beneath
his fierce exterior.
Blessed with incomparable beauty, Isabel MacDonald is
prepared to use every means possible--including
seduction--to uncover her husband's most guarded secrets.
Instead, Rory awakens Isabel's deepest desires and her
sweetest fantasies. Now Isabel has found the happiness she's
always dreamed of with the very man she must betray, and
discovers that passion can be far more dangerous than revenge.
