Romance Historical

While visiting her uncle's home, Catriona "Riona" Duff finds herself kidnapped in the middle of the night by a burly Scot and taken to the Highlands. Hugh McCallum insists their fathers bound them to each other as children to share use of the McCallum land with a dowry promised to the Clan McCallum. At the Earl's refusal to honor the contract, forcibly taking his bride was the only option. The fact that Riona and her cousin are both named Catriona and he had the wrong bride, wasn't to be believed by the rugged Highlander. Forced to share the Laird's quarters at Larig, Riona's anger soon turns to desire for the handsome leader. Trying to persuade his intended bride of their commitment, Hugh begins to also feel something strange developing. He never thought the arranged bride would be such a beauty. Unable to convince the stubborn leader he has the wrong bride, all Riona can do is wait it out until they hear from her uncle of the deception he has arranged. Once the clan learns the truth, betrayal and disgust will be directed at their leader. Finding a way to fulfill his commitment to the contract with honor but still keep the beauty that has stolen his heart seems beyond reach. With desperate passion and a will to fulfill his contract, this bold Highlander finds no difficulty in falling in love with the bride he abducted. THE WRONG BRIDE is the first book by the gifted Gayle Callen set in beautiful Scotland. This touching romantic novel is a beautifully perfect love story. Her sassy, argumentative heroine can't deny her irresistibly sexy hero, bringing heat and passion to the reader. This author certainly knows how to put together a tale that is sure to please the reader to the very last page.
