Romance Historical

What if they won't believe her? Will the sapphire pendant be enough? With the snow melting into her tears and the bitter wind whipping her skirts, Isabel struggles through the storm to get help. Will she be able to save the man she really loves? Everyone thought that she had betrayed Sir Duncan MacGruder and willingly left him to be the mistress of the much-hated Earl of Frayser. Now, they will think she is betraying Duncan again! Lady Isabel Adair had to keep her secrets from Duncan and his family must never find out. Better to be damned by reputation than to have her father killed. Despite his faults, she had to make the impossible choices and do what she had to in order to save him. Left barely conscious and badly injured, Duncan knows that he still cared for Isabel, despite her betrayals. If it hadn't been for the deathbed request from his loyal friend, Duncan would not have had anything to do with that whore, Isabel. Was she a traitor or not? Why had her father trusted her with secrets about Sir William Wallace's location? He knew Frayser would do anything to capture the elusive and popular Scottish rebel and hand Wallace over to the English King to face a horrid death. Would the Bible Isabel frantically sought really help? You too will want to find out the mystery behind the betrayals and broken hearts as you are instantly pulled into this gripping tale of 13th century romance. With her excellent background research, Diana Cosby has done a brilliant job in continuing the MacGruder saga in this sequel to His Captive as she reveals the true hearts and thoughts behind the love that was so badly shattered three years earlier. With its sword sharp repartee and ongoing battle of wits and wills, HIS WOMAN is one action packed romance you won't want to put down! A great read! Thank goodness there are new MacGruder sequels coming out soon from this very gifted writer!

SUMMARY

TRUSTING HER WAS UNTHINKABLE Lady Isabel Adair is the last woman Sir Duncan MacGruder wants to see again, much less be obliged to save. Three years ago, Isabel broke their engagement to become the Earl of Frasyer's mistress, shattering Duncan's heart and hopes in one painful blow. But Duncan's promise to Isabel's dying brother compels him to rescue her from those determined to bring down Scottish rebel Sir William Wallace. RESISTING HER WAS IMPOSSIBLE Betraying the man she loved was the only way for Isabel to save her father, but every moment she spends with Duncan reminds her just how much she sacrificed. No one could blame him for despising her, yet Duncan's misgivings cannot withstand a desire that has grown wilder with time. Now, on a perilous journey through Scotland, two wary lovers must confront both the enemies who will stop at nothing to hunt them down, and the secret legacy that threatens their passion and their lives.
