At the age of nine, Caitrin Fletcher was sent by her
father to
foster with a neighbouring clan, the Lathans. Over the
years
there, she had made a true friend in Jamie Lathan, until
fear
for her safety had forced them to return her to her
father.
Now Caitrin is all grown up and her father is negotiating
her
betrothal to the MacGregor, a very powerful clan. Her
father
warns her to do her duty to her clan and not let anyone
hear
of her silly ways - meaning her ability to sense when
someone
is lying. Determined to do what is right for her family,
Caitrin is willing to marry a stranger, even though her
heart
will always yearn for her old friend Jamie.
Needing an escort for Caitrin, Lathan has sent Jamie to
deliver her to MacGregor, and also to get MacGregor to
sign a
peace treaty for the clans. When Jamie and Caitrin
reunite, it
is not long before their feelings flare to life. But Jamie
knows that he has a role to fulfill, as does Caitrin, and
they
try to steady their hearts. But when MacGregor begins to
show
his true colours, and evidence of a murder from long ago,
resurfaces in the MacGregor keep, will Jamie be able to
protect the woman he loves so deeply? And as Caitrin tries
to
save both her father, and Jamie, will she be forced to
sacrifice herself?
HIGHLAND TROTH by Willa Blair is an exciting, romantic,
historical tale full of angst, action and searing hot
passion.
Caitrin is so brave and strong as she is willing to
sacrifice
everything for those she loves, while never giving up
hope.
Jamie is the ultimate hero - sexy, brooding, protective
and
yet so tender where Caitrin is concerned. With plenty of
adventure and the twist of an old murder, HIGHLAND TROTH
by
Willa Blair, kept me hooked from beginning to end. A
wonderful
Highland romance.
Years ago, after tragedy struck Jamie Lathan's family,
fosterling Caitrin Fletcher was sent home, out of danger.
Heartbroken, young Jamie never expected to see her again.
He
certainly never imagined he’d be called upon to escort her
to be betrothed to another man.
But now, as their attraction reignites during the trip,
Jamie's longing for Caitrin deepens, and he despairs to
lose
her again. The secret he hides, however, may prevent any
chance for a future with her. Can Jamie find a way to
claim
her himself without starting a war involving three clans?
Caitrin is torn between her duty to make the marriage her
father wants and her feelings for Jamie, the lad she’s
loved
for years. When she meets the man her father has chosen,
her
secret Highland talent tells her he cannot be trusted. Can
she refuse the powerful lord without revealing how she
knows
he's lying...about nearly everything?
