Mariota of Dunach, proud if misguided daughter of the strong, famed Laird Archibald MacNichol, will be thrice cursed if ever she falls prey to love again. Unjustly accused of murdering the man her father disowned her for consorting with, Mariota is soon to be sacrificed to the river-dwelling monster Each Uisage. Mariota is rescued from her watery death by her friend, Nessa, and they find refuge in the ruins of the abandoned Cuidrach Castle. They know it's only a matter of time before they're found and Mariota meets her fate.
"Pigs will sing from the trees the day I take a wife," speaks Kenneth MacKenzie, the new Keeper of Cuidrach. Kenneth has spent many rough years at sea chasing the dreams of wealthier men, risking his life for their greed. With memories of home and the longing to return, his dream is unfolding. Kenneth craves peace and solitude and will glory in its quiet, unmarred by female skirts and chatter. That is, of course, until he arrives home to find Cuidrach Castle not empty as he was led to believe. His first sight is of a woman, but not just any woman -- she's a naked woman, an angel.
Kenneth's Highland and knightly honor binds him to grant Mariota sanctuary. Along with this sanctuary comes much more. There are dangers lurking inside and outside the cracks in the castle walls. It's destiny that brings Mariota and Kenneth together, and he'll fight to his death to keep her safe. She will sacrifice herself to her captors so he doesn't have to. In each other's arms, they find their hopes and dreams fulfilled and an undying love they never believed possible.
UNTIL THE KNIGHT COMES will win your heart. It's a romantic treasure. If you love Scottish tales, this one is for you.
Fearless and outspoken, Lady Mariota MacNichol must run
for her life. Accused of murdering the unworthy rogue she
once loved, she boldly takes possession of deserted
Cuidrach Castle, the one place her enemies would never
look. Then the new laird of Cuidrach unexpectedly arrivesβ¦
Sir Kenneth Mackenzie is a fierce knight well-experienced
in bawdy pleasures and willing wenches β though his last
liaison left him wounded in pride and love. Chivalrous
enough to open Cuidrach's portals to a lady-in-distress,
he keeps the way to his heart well-barred. But now the
strong-willed Mackenzie is living with a fiery, passionate
woman unafraid of his formidable reserve. Eating at the
same table, warming themselves by the same fireβ¦how long
will it be before these two share the same bed?
