The Highlander's Captive (Highland Rogues Book 3) May 7, 2021

by Mary Wine

$0.99

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.

Buchanan Mackenzie is a new laird, and he’s about to be tested. When his half-brother is killed,
he must seek vengeance or face the rage of his clansmen. Beyond spilling blood, fate offers him
another solution. Taking the daughter of his enemy will appease his angry men, but it leaves him
struggling to find peace over making a hostage of a woman.

What sort of man settles his disputes with a helpless woman?

Rhedyn Lindsey has been raised to shoulder her duty. For her kin and clan, she will make the best of a future that will be decided based on alliances. But she never expects it to come in the form of being taken as a hostage.

In an instant, her life is turned inside out. Perhaps for the best, though, for the alternative would have been to see her father's blood spilled. Now she’s at the mercy of a man who has every reason to hate her. Regardless of what fate throws her way, she won’t crumble. She’ll stand up to Buchanan Mackenzie. Just because she’s a woman, doesn’t mean she lacks courage.

Will Buchanan Mackenzie give in to the demands of his men who seek revenge for the death of his half-brother, or will he rely on the wisdom his beloved father taught him, and take his time in deciding what will happen to his beautiful captive-Rhedyn Lindsey-a woman who has captured his attention, respect, and quite possibly his heart?

In Bed With A Stranger May 26, 2009

by Mary Wine

( 86 )

$3.99

A historical that “sweeps you into the time period without taking a thing away from delightful characters and a charming romance” (Heather Graham, New York Times bestselling author).

Brodick McJames is an earl in name only. To secure his clan's future he needs an English wife. Mary Stanford, daughter of the Earl of Warwickshire, will suit perfectly. He's never met her, but what matter? She'll grace his bed eventually, and once she bears his child he need see her no more.

Anne Copper looks just like her noble half-sister, but she was born illegitimate, and can never forget it. The best she can hope for is to stay a serving girl in her own father's house. But when Lady Mary finds herself betrothed to a Scot, it seems there's a use for Anne after all . . .

The woman who arrives in Alcaon is not what Brodick expects, and the passion that grows between them promises far more than a marriage of convenience. When fate draws two together, it may take more than a noblewoman's plot to part them . . .
