A Highlander’s Captive Rufus MacIntosh wants his family’s birthright back. He’s fought wars and his own personal demons. Time to claim what is his family’s. More specifically, his brother’s. And so, bringing friends and allies, he takes back what is his family’s. The lands are theirs again. Except now, Rufus discovers his brother has abandoned the birthright, the land, all of this. He’s headed to new lands and new worlds. Rufus should be relieved, he’s no longer responsible for any of it. He can walk away from their ancestral lands. He’s not sure if he wants to. Davina MacFarland never claimed she was an angel. She certainly isn’t a common thief, even though she’s related to one, now that her brother took Rufus McIntosh’s lands. She shouldn’t have been involved. She really shouldn’t. But now there’s been a scuffle and she’s the captive of that damned Rufus MacIntosh. But she can hold her own. Or can she? A Highlander’s Gypsy William Blackheath’s had recurring dreams, the same one, over and over again, of a woman calling out for him, asking for help. He doesn’t believe in seers, but goes to visit one anyway, to learn what the dreams mean. He’s told that to find peace, he has to find the woman. Shana Invermore’s half Scottish, half gypsy. She’s definitely not a wilting flower, nor is she always one to follow laws. She can raid with the best of them. Until she’s caught. Now Shana’s the captive Jacob Stewart. And that damned Steward plans to use her as bait. She’ll show him who’s bait. A Highlander’s Reiver When a Highland lass is the orphaned charge of an uncle who leads ne’er-do-wells and thieves she has no choice but to stay and steal. No choice because leaving would mean abandoning her little brother. She’s told him not to follow her when she’s out reiving cattle from other clans. It’s just her luck he would choose to follow her on the night she’s captured. Drew MacIntosh never imagined he’d become the guardian of his sister’s twin toddlers. He’s a fighter. He’s not father material. Especially not to bairns as young as these two. And now he’s added to his burdens by apprehending a captivating reiver of a lass. One with a burden of her own, it would seem. How is he supposed to turn the lass over to Rufus so she can pay for her crimes when it would mean her brother would be left in the hands of brigands and cattle raiders? Life was so much simpler when he was soldiering and fighting. A Highlander’s Second Chance Clyde McMannis is not exactly happy. Who would be with his bairns and the love of his life gone? But he manages. He keeps his pain at bay with the ones he’s become close to. All of that changes when a familiar face from his long-forgotten past finds him and makes him an offer. Ailsa Dunne lost her true love and husband to war. She feels it fitting to fulfil his purpose and serve Scotland. When called to serve training young women to be assassins and spies, she answers the call. If only she could teach them everything. Alas, she cannot, so she must rely on the giant brute sent to help her. A man whose purposes seem contrary to her own. Can Clyde save his niece from danger and at the same time keep the shrewish but beautiful Ailsa from killing him?

A collection of 3 Historical Scottish Highland romance short stories with no cliffhanger! Highland Mist At his birth, Gavin Loudain's parents were told he would be a great man with a terrible fate, courtesy of the old witches who lived out on the moors. “He will find his greatest treasure, and then succumb to death.” Fearing for his life, his parents kept him secluded and under careful watch, and in doing so let a thirst for adventure take root and grow. With the death of his father, Gavin's life was able to begin in earnest. His first act as the new laird was to hold a hunt and games in his father's honor, inviting friends, family and famed hunters to come and join them. Amongst them was Reagan MacGregor, sister of the great hunter Isaac, and a capable rider herself. From the moment their eyes meet they are destined for one another, but a sinister fate awaits Gavin on the moors, and perhaps not even the strongest love can keep him from it. Highland Rapture A peaceful trip through the Northern English countryside to a quiet town on the sea turns into a bath of blood when the band of soldiers accompanying Isabelle Wharton and her new husband Captain Alan Wharton are attacked and massacred by a band of Scottish outlaws. The men take Izzy hostage, and she finds herself the prisoner of one Owen Chester, the very man directly responsible for her husband's death. Held captive whilst waiting for ransom, Izzy finds herself wrestling with her undeniable, fiercely strong attraction for Owen and her guilt against feeling anything but contempt for the man who killed the one she thought she loved. Highland Vow Lyla never imagined she would be a lynchpin for anything. Her mother told her all her life that, following the death of her father, it would be her responsibility to marry the boy next door and merge their lands and cattle. To her credit, she does intend to... ...until a group of men wearing Cameron colors come riding down the road. With her fields condemned to burn, and her town threatened to be razed to the ground, Lyla does the unthinkable, and offers herself in marriage as a show of good faith to the leader of the clan, a powerful man named Lachlan, if he will only spare her town and allow them to pay tax and tribute to remain alive. To the horror of her people, Lachlan accepts.

A Laird’s Promise Some promises are hard to keep… Phillip promised he’d let her go home. He promised, after she completed her task, she’d be free. He didn’t promise her that he wouldn’t capture her heart before he released her. For Sarah, captive of the Highland Laird, that these promises are kept is paramount. Phillip never expected to fall in love with the woman who was supposed to save his brother’s life. He also never expected to break a promise. But some promises are hard to keep, especially when he finds out the secrets she’s keeping. A Rebel’’s Desire Some secrets are hard to keep… Jake Duncan promised Heather MacDonald he’d keep her secret. He’d help her train to be a warrior and all she had to do was give him a kiss. He didn’t promise that she wouldn’t feel the stirrings of desire for this former soldier. For Heather, a woman determined to become a warrior, Jake’s promise means the difference between life and death. Wounded at war, then the target of a malicious healer, Jake Duncan, brother of the Highland Laird, has decided he has to prove himself, over and over again. He never thought that part of his journey would involve falling for the woman from the Lowlands who wasn’t as demure or as shy as he originally thought, especially not when she was wielding a dirk. An Outcast’s Wish Some memories are best left forgotten… Maccay Douglas finds a trespasser on Duncan lands. Except the trespasser isn’t some lad up to mischief. It’s a woman in boy’s clothing. A woman with a bruise on her head and no name, and hunting skills. She claims she doesn’t know who she is. That doesn’t stop him from falling in love. Except this red-haired beauty has an explosive secret that is bound to bring war to the Highlands. An Auctioned Bride Some promises are forever… Hugh McInnis, trying to escape the past and the present finds himself at an auction, his attention fixed on a Norwegian beauty intended for the highest bidder. He wished he could say what possessed him to bid on Dalla. Dalla was intended for a convent—punishment for disobeying her father—until her uncle intercepted her journey and put her up for auction. A stubborn quiet Norwegian woman and a grumpy Highlands man have no business traversing the landscape. Not together, anyway. Yet, that’s exactly what they are forced to do. A Captain's Heart Some hearts are forever… Derek McInnis left the Highlands for a life on the sea. The sea has captured a heart that no woman could. Until now. Margery’s disguise as a boy doesn’t hide a comely face nor shapely hips. She has no need for a man’s assistance. Until she does. And naturally, the man who offers his assistance is the man she can’t get out of her mind. Or heart. A Highland Sailor Some actions are forever… Gruff and straight-forward, Broc McFadden has always had one passion. To be on the sea. And then he meets the sister-in-law of his former captain Derek. He wouldn’t have met her if he hadn’t agreed to help Derek by traveling to a land where he was wanted, which puts him in the clutches of a mortal enemy. Fierce and loyal, Beatrice cannot sit idly by and watch the Highlander man who’s captured her heart punished unjustly. And yet, she’s betrothed to the Lord Randall a man whose handsomeness rivals his cruelty.

A Highlander’s Redemption Like battles, some redemptions cannot be won In early 1746, Alasdair Macintyre is headed home after the rout at Culloden on Drummossie Moor, in sight of Inverness. The battle has been lost and scar on his face that makes him so ferocious-looking that even children run from him in terror. He learns his father has betrothed him to a local lass—a nearly blind woman—in exchange for a sizeable dowry and a chunk of land. The woman brings with her a companion that hates him immediately. He has no interest in having a chain around his neck, not even in the form of a woman he once knew as a girl—a gangly, twig of a girl. When Alasdair learns the English government has sent agents to look for those who fought on the side of Bonnie Prince Charlie his ire arises. An ire that is even more enflamed by a vision from the local sheriff who offers a thinly veiled warning that there is a price of his head. But Beitris is no longer the girl Alasdair Macintyre remembers. She’s blossomed into a stunning woman, though one that is terrified of the scarred Highlander she’s betrothed to. When Beitris learns of the treachery behind the one who has given up Alasdair to the English she’s forced to make a decision. One between her family and the gruff, scarred soldier she’s begun to love. A Highland Inheritance An English heiress has no cause to live in the Highlands. Or does she? Sheriff Colin Ramsey simply wants to keep the peace in the territory. He doesn’t want to have to enforce the Tartan and Dress Act of 1746. Nor does he want to babysit the feisty Highlanders that seek to create chaos and defy the laws—regardless how unjust said laws might be. He doesn’t like complications. Enter Iona Douglas, who brings complications in spades. This stubborn Englishwoman has inherited Scottish Highland property. She scandalously refuses to follow rules or suggestions. She insists—quite stubbornly—on brushing off advice in this lawless land. If only there weren’t feelings involved. If only she wasn’t irresistible. Colin’s problem is figuring out how to keep the lass alive when she seems hell bent on ending up dead. A Highlander’s Love Dougal Craig might have been amused regarding his reputation as a highwayman/ruffian/bandit, when actually, he's nothing of the sort. He just likes his privacy and it doesn't take much for rumors to start. He doesn't bother to deny them. More the better so people leave him alone. He's anti-social but not unfriendly, so he typically shrugs off the opinions of others. He lives quietly out on the moors, taking care of any trouble that comes his way with his guns or his swords. Tyra Fletcher’s running from a secret. But she didn’t plan on running into a musket wielded by Dougal Craig. Now she’s injured and at his mercy. Dougal’s got secrets of his own. His are far more deadly. Who’s protecting who now as this English refugee runs into the wrong end of Dougal’s weapon?

The Highlander’s Lady Highland borders offer treachery and love... Olivia Smythe is the daughter an English earl and a Scottish woman. He has decided that his half-Scottish daughter should go to the Highlands for her own safety to avoid the border skirmishes that plague their area. He’s also pleaded her hand to a cruel Englishman. Laird Boyd MacPherson has no idea the Englishwoman he’s saved from cutthroats is the cousin of a Highland laird. He has no idea the courage and wherewithal that this young half-Scot can muster. He is quick to find out when she runs away and seeks to hide from her betrothed and the rest of the world. Boyd turns the Highlands upside down looking for her, only to find her in the least likely of places. The Highlander’s Lass Mairi Douglas’s daily life consists of digging up potatoes and turnips, of cleaning chamber pots, and making beds. And dreaming of a life with the young man she’s smitten with. Until the death of those dreams come about swiftly and painfully when said young man proves himself a faithless wretch. She sends a message out begging for her removal from the keep of Calan Stewart so that her heart can heal somewhere far away from the daily vision of the wretch’s infidelity. Elliott MacPherson, the laird’s cousin has been sent to Clan Stewart’s keep to deliver a message, but most assuredly not the message that Mairi Douglas is expecting. Unfortunately, he bears witness to Mairi’s humiliation which puts him on the wrong side of the sharp tongue of the short-fused redhaired beauty. To complicate matters, he’s to escort her away in the midst of intrigue and treachery while women are vanishing from the highlands without leaving so much as the tiniest of clues. The Highlander’s Pledge Highland promises are forever... Keith MacFarlane’s a man on a mission. Find the babe. It is not for him to question orders. A man raised on the horse, wielding the sword, he is prone to obeying commands, even when those commands might go against the grain. Eidith Gilbraith does not yield to any man. She’s been charged with protecting the wee ones from outsiders, especially a golden-haired bairn who’s captured her heart. She wields a pistol with a confidence that is all bluster as she shuns the newcomer who asks too many questions. When the true identity of the bairn is revealed, will Eidith and Keith be able to put aside their differences to find common ground in saving the children from imminent danger? Will they have to sacrifice the feelings they’ve begun to succumb to in order to keep the wee ones safe? The Highlander’s Escape There is no escaping fate… Malcolm Drummond has risked all to save Eidith and Keith and the king’s bastard son. As such, he is now a wanted man. Gone are the dreams of settling a farm in the highlands where his forebearers have for centuries, of raising a family on the island he loves more than life itself. Malcolm is a wanted man and as such, the safest choice is to escape Scotland. To make his way to the New World and start anew. Margaret Astley, daughter of a landed, wealthy Englishman is running away from a brutally horrid situation. She has more than herself to worry about. The baby she carries is her top priority. She boards a ship for the Colonies with the hopes that she can escape the past and give her baby a future. Malcolm finds himself attracted to the austere, standoffish Englishwoman who carries a bairn. He wonders what her secret is, though clearly, the soon-to-be arriving bairn is no secret. Margaret needs more help than she can imagine. Will she escape to safety or choose the dangerous and risky path?

A Soldier's Salvation Forever seeking salvation… Rodric Anderson isn't a soldier anymore. Nay, many would refer to him as a mercenary-a soldier for hire. He's embroiled in a Duncan clan matter. He's also hunted by the authorities, wanted by women, and tied to none. He's a part of a band of brothers, all former soldiers, some outlaws, all who make themselves available for the right coin-sometimes, the right cause. One woman has caught his eye. A shrew of a woman. Why was it he could not get her out of his mind? Caitlin's hand has been given in marriage by her wretch of a stepfather to a man who is no less a wretch himself. Her only escape is to run away. Except that things are never quite so simple when it comes to choices. A Warrior's Soul This warrior’s soul isn’t meant to be alone... Brice is a former warrior turned soldier of fortune hired to escort a Highland shrew to an Englishman. Alana’s the niece of a Highland laird betrothed to English royalty against her will. She’s hardheaded, fierce, and independent. He’s hellbent on delivering her to her destination. Until he discovers her destination is a version of hell he wouldn’t wish on his worst enemy, and certainly not on this spirited Highland lass. An Outlaw's Word Some words are meant forever… Ysmaine’s half Scottish, half French, all attitude and independence. Quinn’s a mercenary that needs more cash than the recent jobs have been providing. She’s got the means to money. He’s got a need for it. She’s not willing to do what needs to be done for the money. He’s willing to kidnap and hold her for ransom. Until… Until a Frenchman with a title and no morals steps into the picture. Now… Things have changed. A Highlander's Need Some needs are forever… She accepts no man as her boss. She runs her father’s household and runs the forest when she’s not. He’s a youngest son brought home from his mercenary soldier of fortune ways by a father’s trickery. He’s not remotely interested in settling down. She has news for him. Neither is she. Except both their fathers think they know what this hardheaded woman and this fierce former soldier need. Only it would seem no one bothered to learn what these two want. A Highlander's Scars Not all scars are visible… Donnan Ross, a friend of Padraig Anderson, is headed home from battle bearing more scars than a man should. He discovers that his father is dying, and his brother has left the family with hefty debts to pay. Beyond frustrated, Donnan retreats to a life of a hermit while spies infiltrate the Highlands and take “disloyal” folks as captives. A powerful laird offers Donnan’s father the opportunity to erase the family’s debt in exchange for helping him find his missing daughter. A woman that some claim has fallen in love with one of the enemy. Donnan remembers the laird’s daughter only too well. Fenella, they called her. A headstrong mouthy Highland lass. No one told Donnan that Fenella was involved with the spies. No one told him she’d blossomed into such a beauty. Now, Donnan has a difficult decision to make. Fenella is not the type to fall for traitors, nor is she naïve to the ways of the world. She is not enamored with one of the enemy, but her wish to serve her clan has dropped her in hot water. And, now the bitter recluse of a man she remembers from childhood thinks the worst of her. And she doesn’t care. But why is she so bothered, then? A Highlander's Woman A Highlander loves forever... This book in the Highland Heartbeats brings us a wonderful love story for Padraig Anderson, Rodric’s younger brother who now heads the Anderson clan and has seen his brother and all of his friends find his happily ever after while he’s stayed the course and run the family business. Margaret is an assassin with the Order. Until she can’t perform her last assignment. Now she’s on the run, disguised as a lad, and facing down scoundrels outside brothels. Until she’s rescued by Sorcha and Moira and brought to the Clan Anderson homestead. Who said life would be any easier when her heart keeps beating faster every moment the laird steps near?
