Highland Soldiers

Highlander Callum MacDonell battled lowland Covenanters at the service of the king. Now charged with hunting an assassin, his journey will lead not to justice, but to a murderer’s passionate Covenanter sister, Mari McEwan. Betrayed and abandoned by the man she loved, Mari faces judgment by a tribunal of her people demanding she name the father of her unborn child, or be exiled from her beloved home and family. Sick and trembling, she knows that she must refuse. And yet, if she does so, a cruel fate awaits her.

On their last night together, highland soldier Duncan MacDonell swore to love his Jenny, and she him, giving themselves to each other with only the highland moon as their witness. Jenny’s father arranged a marriage for her, and made sure that she could not say no. She had never dreamt of disobeying her beloved father's wishes, but an arranged marriage was too cruel a theft of her dream. Left with no choice, she would betray her true love, and he would never know why. Now home, the sight of Jenny in another man’s arms rouses a fury in Duncan he has never known, even in battle.

Scottish Highlander Alex MacDonell returns home from fighting for clan and king to discover that the girl he once hunted and fished with has become an intriguing young woman. Kenna has adored him for years, but he always treated her like a little sister. When her own brother dies from battle wounds, Kenna is left with no family or home. Alex would love Kenna if he could, but recurring nightmares of acts he committed while hunting down Covenanters now haunt his days and nights. When Kenna comes too close to his heart, he pushes her out of his life—and into the arms of another.
