Romance

Love is the stuff legends are made of and for Deborah Smith's characters nothing less will do. LEGENDS is a modern day love story with a bit of fairy dust. Pitting a believer in legends handed down from generation to generation with a man with no beliefs in anything except that wealth is the cure for everything is exactly what Elgiva MacRoth and her conspirators have done. The first order of business was to crash Douglas Kincaid's New Years Eve bash and attract his attention. Elgiva had really done her homework and was well informed about most things Kincaid -- at least those things in the public eye. He was a rather cocky brash self-made man who didn't like or need to compromise. Experience had taught him and necessity made him the man he is rich, successful and driven.

The MacRoth's first step in their plan was to kidnap Douglas which wound up being easier than one would think given his vast array of security measures in place. But Douglas was so enticed by this vision in the two way mirror he let his curiosity take over his judiciousness. Waking up in a bare bones cabin in a prison-like cell, Douglas was furious that someone had the audacity to got the best of him. His jail keeper was a gorgeous redhead who had already won over his dog Sam. But what exactly was she going to gain having him locked up? Well he didn't have to wait long to find out.

Elgiva was to keep him under lock and key so he would be unable to finalize his latest purchase. Douglas was planning on buying her village which would be detrimental to all the locals including herself and her brother. The plan was to use this time to convince her captive of the error of his ways but saying they didn't see eye to eye was an understatement. Douglas's stubbornness, he was to realize, was pretty well matched by Elgiva's. She felt she had nothing to lose which made her unapproachable for a deal. In fact, Douglas quickly recognized that Elgiva was the fall guy. One of the problems was that in a very short time he was beginning to like her. He liked her serenity and spirit and to be truthful with himself his thoughts were taken up with what he was going to do with her once he was extricated by his security force and it was just a matter of time before they would locate him. Inexplicably his feelings for this sensual innocent creature were developing into more than he could have ever imagined. Even though she wasn't making him a believer in her Scottish tales Elgiva was winning Douglas over in ways she would never have guessed. Big question was who would be the winner after this clash of wills. This was one deal Douglas knew he could ill afford to lose. He wanted Elgiva.

SUMMARY

New York Times bestselling author Deborah Smith evokes the stunning beauty of Scotland in this spin on the clan wars—as a sexy CEO finds himself abducted by a brazen beauty determined to save her village.
 
Elgiva MacRoth descends from a long line of bold Scots willing to fight for their heritage. When her picturesque town comes under siege by a corporate raider, she devises a daring plan to stop billionaire Douglas Kincaid. But kidnapping a man off the rooftop of his penthouse and holding him hostage proves far less complicated than saving herself from his intoxicating sensual assault.
 
The stunning beauty with her golden eyes and fighting spirit make captivity feel like a fantasy. The desire heating up is enough to make them both forget the battle, and surrender to something far more pleasurable. But Douglas has his own dreams for this lovely spot of Scottish land. And he has a proposal that he hopes will convince Elgiva to give up her hard line and give in to him in every way that matters. With a warrior’s will, he’s fighting for his legacy, his heart, and the woman of his dreams.
