Heiress of Scandal – The Highland Heiresses Book One

2009 Golden Heart Finalist (formerly titled Highland Honor)

Scotland, 1818.   Cara MacKinnon, a lass with the heart of a laird, intends to restore her family’s past glory to overcome a haunting guilt. She’s certain her clan’s fall from fortune is her fault. One devil of an Englishman, Lord Nicholas Weston, claims the means to aid her, yet he guards a dark secret: the true cause of the MacKinnons’ downfall did not start at Cara’s hands, but his.

When one scandalous act forces a wedding between them and passions ignite, Cara learns she must fear for more than the MacKinnons’ salvation. She’ll have to guard against the ruin of her traitorous heart.

Heiress of Seduction – The Highland Heiresses Book Two

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.

Heiress of Desire – The Highland Heiresses Book Three

In the most civilized of times, the Scottish Highlands can guard dark secrets. The remnants of an ancient clan feud has left the Gregor laird dead at the hands of his MacLaren rival. Cailan Gregor, brother of the late laird, is called on to avenge his family’s honor – by duel or by the more heathenish methods of older days. But Cailan knows a dangerous truth: the MacLaren earl might not be the Gregor’s’ real enemy. Betrayal may have sprung up from within. The impoverished MacLaren earl keeps a secret that could shatter two families…if left in the hands of a less principled man. And Cailan knows that Iona, MacLaren’s spirited sister, may be the one woman he could crave in his life and in his bed, if the hatred of two clans did not stand between them–and if Cailan’s future did not deny this secret heiress the truth of her own legacy.

In a test of lust and honor, allegiance and ancient bonds, Cailan find it’s the heart that may be asked to give the greatest sacrifice — and star-crossed passion that can lead the strongest man to his downfall.
