Unless he agrees to fight for the British against the
French, fellow Catholics and allies of the Highlanders,
Iain MacKinnon and his two brothers will be hanged for a
crime they did not commit. It's an unbearable choice Iain
has to make: kill Frenchman for the hated English, or die
with his brothers in shame.
Iain is given a short time to pull together a band of 150
warriors to serve the English until he's either killed or
the war is ended. If he fails to do this, he'll be shot for
desertion and his brothers, Morgan and Connor, will be
hanged for murder. The MacKinnon Rangers are born.
Iain feels so much pride for his Rangers -- no better
fighters, no men better suited to the challenge of this
war, no better survivors. It's an honor to lead them as it
would be an honor to die beside them. They've had to do
things to stay alive that no civilized man should ever have
to endure. Do they still deserve to be called men?
Lady Anne is alone, a woman who's lost everything,
including her beloved family. Certainly the privileged life
she led in Scotland has changed forever. A hateful uncle
brings her great shame along with physical pain, the likes
she didn't think she'd survive. Anne finds herself
indentured and living in the Colonies, a marked woman, a
convicted thief, a fiercely independent woman who's lost
the most important thing to her -- freedom.
It seems fate is shining down on Anne when she's given a
chance to escape. The farm she's serving on is savagely
attacked by the Abenaki Indians and Anne runs for her life.
But the Abenaki follow her. Her lungs ache, her legs throb,
her feet are bleeding, but still she keeps running. She
helplessly stumbles, falls, and looks up to see a hatchet
raised over her head. The last words of this courageous
woman are, "You dinnae have me yet," before her
world goes black.
Iain is watching this cruelty as he crouches behind a stand
of trees. A braver lass he's never heard, and he can't
watch her be murdered and still call himself a man, even if
he is putting his mission at stake by allowing the French
to know their location. His penalty could be flogging, or
even death. But Iain can't abandon her as he kills six of
her attackers.
It's a miracle that brought Annie and Iain together in the
forest that fateful day. A miracle that brought her into
the arms of a man who'd protect her, who'd love her and set
her body on fire with just a touch. And it's a miracle that
brought Iain such a brave lass who'd belong to him so
completely and make his dreams of the future matter so
much. Together they make a dangerous and treacherous
journey to find their way safely home.
I can't reveal too much of this story. It'd be an injustice
to you, as readers, and to Ms. Clare, who wrote this
magnificent story. You have to experience this intense
drama and abiding love for yourself. I truly loved this
book.
If there are three men who better fit the title hero, I
have yet to meet them. The MacKinnon brothers, Iain, Morgan
and Connor, are mighty Scottish warriors who'll give up
their lives for one another. They are honorable men who
live by their principles, surrender their hearts to the
women they love and melt your heart in the process. Rare
treasures, these brothers three. I lost my heart to Iain in
SURRENDER.
SURRENDER is an astonishing story. All you need to do is
open the cover and read page one to know you're being taken
on an incredible journey and beginning one of the most
exciting books ever written. SURRENDER is nothing short of
genius, a work of art, written by a master storyteller.
Pamela Clare pens a story so gut-wrenching, so
intense, so deeply moving that you can barely put it down.
There are wonderful one-liners that make you laugh along
with the most beautiful words of love you'll ever read.
It's an intense drama with unforgettable characters and a
hero and heroine you'll hold in your heart forever.
Surrender to SURRENDER -- the first book in an incredible
new trilogy, but you'll have to wait, just as I must, for
Morgan and Connor's stories. Be still my heart!
A hand-picked cadre of warriors, they had the fierce
courage of their Scots forefathers, combined with the
stealth and cunning of the Indians who lived beside them in
the wilderness. Battling the French in no-holds-barred
combat, they forged a new brand of honor, became a new
breed of men…
MacKinnon’s Rangers
Iain MacKinnon had been forced to serve the British crown,
but compassion urged him to save the lovely lass facing
certain death at the hands of the Abenaki. He’d defied his
orders, endangered his brothers, his men and his mission,
all for a woman. But when he held Annie’s sweet body in his
arms, he could feel no regret. Though he sensed she was
hiding something from him, it was too late to hold back his
heart. In love and war, there are times when the only
course of action is… Surrender.
