Sophie MacCarran watches in shock when her bodyguards fall
into the river as the bridge collapses. A Highlander
brigand abducts her in the confusion. Racing off into the
night with the outlaw, Sophie learns of his intention to
wed her at her brother's insistence. Sophie has recently
returned from a Belgian convent to honor her father's
promise and wed a man she despises. To prevent that
marriage, Sophie agrees to wed the Highlander.
Connor MacPherson, once the rightful heir and son of a
viscount, now is regarded as an outlaw laird whose father
died in a hangman's noose for his Jacobite beliefs. He
roams the Highlands stealing cattle and sabotaging the
English. At times, Connor fantasizes about living a
peaceful life as a farmer with a family, but reality leaves
him homeless and alone. Upon promising a friend to steal
his sister, Connor's life takes a dramatic turn.
After the vows and bedding, Connor discovers he married the
wrong sister. Feisty Sophie might be charmed by the
handsome man, but she leads him on a merry chase. Invoking
her fairy magic, Sophie tries to find love and happiness
with this compelling and charismatic man.
STEALING SOPHIE will appeal to readers who are looking for
a lighthearted, tender romance. Ms. Gabriel creates an
entertaining tale with strong characters and adds a dash of
fairy lore.
Quickly wedded and passionately bedded, Sophie is now a
captive in a Highland haven of rebels and cattle thieves.
Nothing in her convent upbringing prepared her for the
dashing rogue who is now her husband. Held against her
will, Sophie uses the only weapon at her disposal -- her
saintly reputation. Soon she tries to make Connor's life a
living hell by creating heaven around him, gambling that
the brigand will let her go just to escape her constant
sweetness and womanly influence in his Highland lair. Yet
he does not give in -- and when his kisses and his
scorching touch make her yearn for more, Sophie suspects
that her own heart has already surrendered ...
