Duncan MacAlphin is one of four men on a mission to
re-instate Scotland's one true king to the throne, which
puts him at odds with the current king and his army. Now
he's running for his life while shackled to a gorgeous woman
the false king wants equally dead. While not willing to
trust his fellow captive with details of his mission, Duncan
would love to know exactly why the king wants her dead;
though he's more intrigued by the woman herself, and all the
things he wants to do to her. Being chained to her is making
it extremely difficult for Duncan to remember he is, above
all things, a chivalrous gentleman.
Mercy knows exactly why the king wants her dead, but that
isn't a secret she's willing to share with a stranger, even
if he is as protective a stranger as Duncan. Mercy's one
goal is to gain freedom and never have it taken away again,
but being chained to a certain Scotsman is making her
re-evaluate her plans. All her life, Mercy's mother warned
her about the perils of love but, with such temptation at
her side, Mercy's not sure she can hold out for long. When
Mercy's secret comes out, it may make the decision on
whether she stays with Duncan or not for her.
BOUND TO A WARRIOR is the first in a new series by Donna
Fletcher featuring four brothers who are on a mission to
re-instate the true king to Scotland's throne. You're
plunged into the action from the first sentence and things
keep rolling from there. When not fleeing from the king's
men and trying to get free, our lead pair are steaming up
the pages with their sexual tension.
BOUND TO A WARRIOR is a thrilling start to what looks to be
an engaging, intriguing, and dangerous series. I can't wait
for more installments in this series, though I will have to
wait until June 2011, since that is when the next book is
due. I'm dying to know who the real king is, and I'm sure
you will be too.
It has been prophesied that four men,
raised as brothers, will bring Scotland back to her rightful
glory. The first is running for his life.
Charged with the restoration of Scotland's one true
king, Duncan MacAlpin isn't surprised to find himself
fleeing an army across the verdant hills of his homeland.
But having to do so while shackled to a woman . . .
that is a true challenge to Duncan's ingenuity and
self-control. For the lovely, untouched maiden he's chained
to is far too captivating to resist.
Despite her
innocence, Mercy guards her own dangerous secrets. Proud and
unafraid—hunted and imperiled for who she is and what she
knows—she is determined to regain her freedom and
never let it be taken from her again. Yet locked so
tightly to her imposed escort, tempted by the warmth of the
powerful Highlander's body, she aches to give herself over
completely to desire . . . and risk the heart she has fought
so hard to protect.
