“I assume you are planning to marry her first?” Owen asked wryly.
Alasdair felt too good to even be offended. “As soon as I can get a special license. That had been my plan for today, but—”
“We are already handfasted,” Bridget said. “’Tis enough for now.”
“Aye,” Alasdair said and brushed a strand of her hair aside before he leaned over to kiss her unbruised cheek. “For now, lassie, for now.” He tilted her chin to brush her lips with his. “Tomorrow you will become Mrs. Alasdair MacDonald. Forever.”
Bridget closed her eyes and smiled. “Forever.”

Their desire is deep as the ocean…but treachery is rising like a deadly tide.
Rogue, Book 5
The first time Shauna MacLeod met American ship captain Robert Henderson, instant attraction brightened up an otherwise dreary Edinburgh winter. But his life was at sea.
Now Robert’s back, a welcome distraction from her daily duties at the MacLeod dock office.
Tricked into a betrothal before he left New Orleans by a woman who then mysteriously disappeared, Robert knows he needs to keep his distance from Shauna, no matter how tempting the rising sexual tension between them is.
Between Robert’s past and Shauna’s overprotective family, there’s little opportunity to touch, let alone act on their desires. But when an old enemy of the McLeods in disguise worms his way into Shauna’s good graces, she is abducted and thrown aboard a ship bound for the Barbary slave trade.
Robert, along with Shauna’s brothers, race the four winds to find Shauna before she disappears into some sultan’s harem and is lost to him forever.
Warning: Contains a bold American sea captain, and a spirited Scottish lass who’d like to swash his buckle—if only her suspicious brothers would leave her be. Best enjoyed with a tankard of ale and a sea chanty or two.
A Highland lass fights for freedom…only to realize her heart belongs to her captor.
Rogue, Book 4
One moment Fiona MacLeod is attending a London ball, and the next she’s kidnapped and placed in the Dublin Lunatic Asylum by Wesley Alton, a madman who wants revenge on her family.
Her one bit of good fortune is that with the women’s ward at the asylum overflowing, she’s assigned a room in a nearby castle. But the more she tries to deny Alton’s cleverly concocted facts, the crazier she sounds to her keeper, the handsome Earl Kier O’Reilly.
With his family fortune dwindling, Kier pays his taxes by hosting non-violent asylum inmates in his ancestral castle. He’s immediately attracted to Fiona’s grey-eyed ethereal beauty, but he sternly reminds himself she’s his ward.
No matter what his heart whispers and his body screams, he cannot take advantage of a woman who is clinging to the last of her wits.
Meanwhile, the MacLeod brothers are hunting for their sister, and woe betide whoever stands in their way.
Warning: A beautiful Scottish lass trapped in a nightmare, an Irish earl with a revolutionary secret whose resistance is weakening, an allegedly haunted castle tower, and three braw Highland brothers who refuse to give up hope.
He’s a braw ship commander…until a petite English lass takes command of his heart.
Rogue, Book 3
The first time Abigail Townsend laid eyes on Captain Shane MacLeod, she felt something she’d only read about in books. The Highlander sticks out in London society like a medieval warrior amidst lace-cuffed dandies, which makes him all the more intriguing.
Lord knows, she’s bored with the stuffy, two-faced ton, and cares nothing for parties and fashion. She longs for adventure, not tea and crumpets.
By the time Shane realizes the lad his cook hired is a girl—an earl’s daughter, no less—his ship is bound for a secret meeting of the Knights Templar, and there’s no turning back.
Forced into a temporary marriage, Shane calls upon every ounce of his honor to keep her virtue intact—virtue she has no interest in keeping—so the marriage can be annulled after enough time has gone by. And as his resolve weakens, an old enemy takes advantage of his distraction to destroy him—and expose a Templar secret Shane may have to sacrifice his life to keep.
Warning: This title contains sexually explicit scenes and a stubborn young lady determined to get her Highlander.
