Bedding the Enemy Jul 22, 2010

$1.99

The McJames clan's nemesis battles to overcome deceit while surrendering to desire in a sweeping Scottish romance from the author of In the Warrior's Bed.

Laird Keir McQuade is a newcomer to his title and has much work before him to restore the McQuade honor. Finding a wife is an excellent start. He's duty-bound to go to court and swear homage to his king anyway, a perfect opportunity—were not court women trussed in stupid fashions and corrupted with false mannerisms. Of course, not every lady hides behind a powdered face . . .

Helena Knyvett may be a daughter of the aristocracy, but in truth she is little but a pawn in her brother's ploys for power. Her smallest acts of defiance carry a heavy price. But one honorable man among a crowd of dandies could give her all she needs to change her fortunes—and set her free . . .

Among the ruthless ambitions of England's powerful, love at first sight is a dangerous game. But the treachery, scandal, and treason that follow can unleash as much passion as it does adventure . . .

Stealing brides is a tradition…

In the Highlands, strength is the currency of choice and if you can’t protect what is yours, be prepared to pay a ransom.
Annis is a prize. Born of a royal blood line, the fact that she’s illegitimate isn’t really important. With her mother gone, her kin barter her and send her off to Scotland where her husband’s family is eager to see her produce heirs to their line with impeccable lineage.

Rolfe Munro is sick unto death of the topic of marriage. His marriage is one everyone seems to have an opinion of. So, when his father offers him the chance to escape the Munro stronghold for a bit, Rolfe happily takes the chore! But he knows it’s only a brief respite.

Duty is the other currency of the Highlands. He’s the son of the laird, and he’ll have to settle down or risk leaving the clan in a fight when he dies.

Still, he’s not ready to steal a bride. Even when his fool cousin takes one and needs rescuing. Rolfe isn’t going to get involved beyond making sure his cousin survives. That’s his plan. And it’s a firm one. At least until he lays eyes on Annis. Rolfe has seen his share of pretty women.

Annis is different. Her allure is something he can’t put into words, or ignore it would seem.

By the time he escorts them to his cousin’s stronghold, all Rolfe is thinking about is how to steal Annis away.

When passion flares between two enemies from fighting clans...the Highlands ignite!

Two hotheaded Highlanders, the offspring of feuding lairds, are tricked by the King's Regent into a desperate choice: marry or die. Bhaic MacPherson is more disposed to lead his clan into battle than stay married to the daughter of his enemy. But perhaps the intensity of his feelings has more to do with desire than hostility.

Ailis Robertson wanted a husband, not a savage—but when her family was faced with a deadly ultimatum, she had no choice. How can she fight her fate when the union of a MacPherson and a Robertson could end three generations of hostilities between the two families? Perhaps bitter rivals can become something more when they start to recognize that they're not so different after all...

"It's breathtaking."
It surely was. The moon was full and looked like a glowing ball across the lake. All of the stars were in view, but without the harshness of biting wind.
"Aye, a truly stunning sight."
Bhaic wasn't looking at the view. He was watching her. She turned her face toward his, drawn to the husky promise in his voice...

Faolan McKay was the spawn of recklessness. A child conceived by moonlight outside the bonds of wedlock. His mother was banished to the rocky shores of the Highlands where she committed an even greater sin than seducing the laird’s son—she survived. And raised her son to be everything everyone whispered about him. To be feared was better than any position or sword.

Cora Mackenzie has been promised since she was five. But her intended has never even penned her a single note. Cora takes to the moors, finding satisfaction in building strength and pitting herself against the elements. She discovers a thirst for succeeding where everyone says a girl shouldn't.

She had to be a siren.

Faolan wasn't one for tales by the firelight, but seeing the woman perched on the rocks of his island made him stop and stare. Battered by the wind and rain, she cared nothing for her hair or dress. Instead, she stood in the face of the elements, celebrating her survival. Aye, a mythical creature, one he should ignore but just can't seem to. Fate has locked them together, leaving him battling to resist the pull of his guest.

Whether or not she wants to know the man who saved her isn't up to her. A storm forces them to shelter together or die if they attempt to leave. She might not survive the encounter, but it's hardly the first time life has offered Cora no choice but to face what is placed before her.

So she'll stand firm and let fate guide her.

She’d done what she should, now she was going to do what she dared….

Terin Campbell had been obedient. And she’d been desperate. But now? Many would say she’d won the day. Triumphed over the evil planned for her by her late husband and his mother. Terin was still alive and faced with the question of what to do with the rest of her life.

And there was only one thing she was certain of….she wasn’t waiting around for her family to decide her fate.
Was she brazen?

Yes. And for the rest of her days, she was going to follow her own path. Strike out for a place where rumors said a woman could make a place for herself. It might me myth, it might end in her death along the side of the road, but Terin was going to take the chance because she was finished with being submissive.

She wasn’t his responsibility.

Jasper was a third born son and he had to carve his spot out, but the truth was, he enjoyed the challenge that presented. But it didn’t leave much time for rescuing others. But there was something about the little half-starved girl shivering in a common room in the middle of a snowstorm that claimed his attention. It wasn’t the way her little frame shook…no, it was the determination in her eyes.

She was brazen, and bold, and determined to make it north no matter the risk.

It sparked something inside him. A need he wasn’t willing to question because all that seemed to matter was the way it felt to give her enough help to keep her going. She wanted to carve out her place too and it struck him that maybe, just maybe she was his soulmate…Jasper had no intention of losing the chance to find out.
