Book Two of The Highland Heiresses Trilogy

Kendrick MacLaren, the new Earl of Calechcraig, returns from a civilized life in London to a Highland threat: An ancient feud with the neighboring Gregor clan has brewed to a boiling point. Kendrick is no stranger to the conflict. Five years before, the Gregor laird stole Kendrick’s lover, his future and nearly his life. Kendrick is haunted by memories of a dead woman and her unborn babe. Now fate lands an unexpected boon on Kendrick’s doorstep in the form of Christiane MacKinnon, Gregor’s intended bride. In a rash act of vengeance as barbarous as any his forbearers hatched, Kendrick abducts the woman and holds her at Calechcraig Castle, intent on seducing her affections and denying his rival everything the man most craves.

But Kendrick didn’t expect Gregor’s betrothed to be a rare, strong-willed beauty. He never imagined the woman might seduce away his heart. And he did not prepare himself, that his reckless scheme would unlock old and deadly secrets, of the true hazard to any woman destined to be a Gregor bride.
