Daphne MacLeod and Norris Sutherland have a history. Daphne
spent the night with Norris to get out of marrying his good
friend, but she certainly didn't expect that one night of
passion to lead to anything permanent. Norris is heir to an
earldom and well above her station. She goes home in
disgrace and takes over running her family's impoverished
keep until her brother can return, but Norris is always on
her mind.
Norris is learning that one night with Daphne has spoiled
him for other women. He decides to visit her lands to see if
he can get her out of his system. Instead, he finds himself
feeling possessive, protective, and very passionate about
her. She's a proud woman, though, so they bicker constantly
-- except when they're in bed. The bickering and the bedding
only increase when Norris decides to take Daphne back to his
family castle to explore their intriguing relationship.
THE TROUBLE WITH HIGHLANDERS is a very steamy romance.
Daphne and Norris can't get enough of each other, and author
Mary Wine doesn't leave much to the imagination. The eager
young couple spends a lot of time exploring ways to pleasure
each other.
Wine also captures the brutality of life and leadership in
15th century Scotland. In the beginning, Daphne is just
trying to keep her people from starving. One of her biggest
obstacles is a rival laird who raids her land, steals her
sheep, then kidnaps Daphne herself. When Norris takes
Daphne to his home, he warns her not to trust anyone; even
his father may take steps to be rid of her, as she has no
dowry to support wedding an earl's son. The most dangerous
threat comes from a scheming woman who will stop at nothing
to arrange her own marriage to Norris.
THE TROUBLE WITH HIGHLANDERS is the sequel to THE
HIGHLANDER'S PRIZE, but if you haven't read it, Wine catches
you up as needed along the way. The new book is alternately
fun and suspenseful, with plenty of hot sex for readers who
enjoy men in kilts and the strong women who love them.
After a night of intense passion, beautiful heiress Daphne MacLeod left Norris Sutherland without so much as a backward glance. Norris, the son of a very powerful Earl, is used to getting what he wants � and right now, he wants Daphne back in his bed. When Daphne is kidnapped by a rival clan leader who is intent on forcing her into marriage so that he can control her lands, Norris has a choice to make. Will he let go of the one woman he's ever desired for more than one night, or will he resolve himself to rescuing the woman who has captured his heart?
