Elizabeth Campbell was supposed to die that fateful day,
but she defied death on Lady's Rock only to die, not long
after, of a broken heart. And so, on a cold winter's day
nearly a 100 years past, a curse was born..."No MacLean
Chief will prosper without a Campbell by his side. This
will be your legacy until the wrong you've done is atoned
and a MacLean life is given in love for a Campbell."
Flora MacLeod is considered the greatest prize in the
Highlands. She's beautiful, rich and well-connected. She's
also determined not to be forced into a politically
arranged marriage.
Lachlan MacLean will do whatever it takes to protect his
clan and family. This battle-hardened warrior chief kidnaps
Flora with the intention of wooing her into marriage. The
marriage will be a bargaining tool used to get his brother
released from prison, and his home, taken by Flora's
hateful half-brother and Lachlan's bitter enemy, restored
to him and his clan.
Flora's mother taught her to revile all Highlanders. They
are barbarians -- rough, uncouth brutes. But Flora finds
that Lachlan is just the opposite. It's not really marriage
Flora that fears, but the idea of being forced into it. She
wants to be seen as a desirable woman, not just a marriage
prize. It's not long before Lachlan stops pretending Flora
is just a means to an end. He desires her and loves her
more than he ever thought possible. And for the first time
in his life, he feels loved in return. Flora feels safe and
protected with Lachlan. He's pure of heart and honorable,
and most of all, she feels wanted.
Lachlan wants to deserve her trust. In doing his duty, he's
manipulating her in a way that will hurt her. Yet, can he
risk telling her about the bargain? It isn't his life at
stake, but his brother's. At what cost does he take a
chance on losing the greatest love of his life?
HIGHLANDER UNCHAINED is a treasure. If there is a hero who
better deserves the title of warrior, hero or knight in
shining armor, I have yet to meet him. Lachlan, with all
his imperfections, will fight for fairness, live by his
principles and give his heart, not easily, but completely,
to a strong, stubborn lass who makes him whole. HIGHLANDER
UNCHAINED reaches crescendo pitch in a battle of wits and
strength as this noble warrior, with the strength to fight
armies and slay dragons, now seems complete with his woman
fighting by his side.
This is a romantic, passionate, beautiful adventure you
don't want to miss. Ms. McCarty has written an exciting and
captivating tale, a gift for your heart. Don't miss the
first and second books in this exciting new Highland
trilogy: HIGHLANDER UNTAMED and HIGHLANDER UNMASKED. I can
hardly wait to see what's next from this talented author.
Flora MacLeod is determined to avoid the sad fate of her
mother — bartered between rival clans through four unhappy,
politically-arranged marriages. Now Flora, considered the
greatest marriage prize in the Highlands, has become a
political pawn herself. Despite the determination of no
fewer than three powerful Highland Chiefs to force her
hand, she has vowed never to become any man’s prize.
Flora’s resolve is soon put to the test by the fiercely
handsome, enigmatic man who’s kidnapped her for a ransom
she’ll never pay…her heart.
Lachlan MacLean has gotten more than he’s bargained for.
The battle-hardened Chief has kidnapped the beautiful
heiress with the intention of wooing her for marriage. But
the gruff Highland chief isn’t used to wooing women,
especially not the most exasperating, stubborn woman he’s
ever met. And when the curse surrounding an old tragedy
puts Flora’s life in danger, Lachlan realizes his ploy may
well have cost him a chance at love.
