Rose Lancaster has one dream... to one day see the world.
Having been raised in an Abbey since the age of three, her
only experience of the world outside the walls has been
through the books she has collected. She knows who she
really is but she cannot let anyone know the truth. She
fears her friends and neighbors would turn their backs on
her if they knew.
Ruark Kerr, Lord Roxburghe, is called back to Scotland
after a thirteen year absence because his young
brother is being held captive and accused of a crime. The
warden wants money for his release, money that Ruark does
not have. When he is stranded at the Abbey, he has his
first encounter with Rose, one that is not going to endear
him to her.
When Ruark discovers Rose's secret, he decides to trade her
for his brother. He returns to the Abbey and kidnaps
her, but he soon discovers that not all plans go as expected
when he finds himself drawn to Rose. Can he win her heart
and convince her that he is sincere? Can he keep Rose out
of the warden's hands and also save his brother?
CLAIMED BY A SCOTTISH LORD is a masterful story of secrets
and budding romance. Rose is strong-willed but knows
nothing of the world outside of the Abbey. Ruark is
well traveled and battle scarred. They are two souls brought
together because of one ruthless man. I have always been a
fan of Melody Thomas, and am so glad that she continues to
write such wonderful stories.
The Dragon’s Captive
Raised as an orphan behind the walls of
Hope Abbey, Rose Lancaster’s sheltered
upbringing never prepared her for a
man like Lord Roxburghe. The fabled
“Black Dragon,” Ruark Kerr hasn’t been
seen in his Scottish homeland for more
than a decade—and now he has burst
into Rose’s protected world to take her
hostage, intending to trade her life for
the life of his young brother. But Rose
does not fear this savage, powerful
lord…and she guards a dangerous
secret.
Villainy called Ruark back to the
borderlands, but now that he’s claimed
his “prize” his path is less certain. If he
does not turn her over to his enemy, a
boy may die. Yet gentle, lovely Rose
soothes his vengeful spirit, and the
longer she remains by him, the hotter
his passion for her burns.
