Highlander's Hidden Destiny (Steamy Scottish Historical)
Page 29
Andrew’s steps were quick and loud. Beathan knew he was purposefully stomping; the carpets covering the hall’s floor were like the tapestries, and muted even the loudest of sounds. His cousin was being a petulant loser, and Beathan did not know how to calm him. He never had.
Andrew took his seat next to Beathan’s mother, and he saw her put her arm over the man’s shoulder in an attempt to comfort him. He saw, too, Andrew shrug off his mother’s arm, reaching across the table instead and filling his glass to nearly overflowing.
Beathan would never understand Andrew. What did he want? He had everything, and yet he seemed so unhappy, so obsessed with proving himself. Even though no one was ever questioning him.
It doesnae make sense, Beathan thought as he too walked away.
A servant came to take his sword from him, and Beathan handed it off gratefully. He was exhausted and sick of being a spectacle. He wanted to sit back, eat, and relax for the rest of the evening. This was his celebration. He was not meant to be the entertainment. He was meant to be entertained.
Where was that acting troupe Mother mentioned?

About the Author
Maddie McKenna had always been passionate about Scotland. It all started with an old picture of her grandfather wearing a kilt and a sporran. She used to look at that picture and imagine stories taking place in the mysterious Highlands...
When she visited Scotland for the very first time, it was love at first sight. Both the country’s breathtaking landscape, and the warmth and livelihood of the locals made her realize why her distinctive red hair was not the only thing that made her blend with them. She took her motherland’s memories back home to Minnesota, holding them forever in her heart while using them as an inspiration for her novels.
Maddie McKenna has a degree in English Literature and Creative Writing. She started writing articles for travel magazines but soon the romance world won her over. When she isn’t writing, Maddie loves painting and taking long walks with her hubby.
Join Maddie in the unforgettable world of brave Highlanders and their bonnie lasses—a world full of passion, intrigues and steamy lovemaking, that will make you feel like you are part of the story yourself!
