REVIEW

"This is a well-written tale"

In 1513 the death of King James IV has led to chaos and clan skirmishes throughout Scotland. Ian Cameron of Glencoe arrives at a convent claiming to have been sent by the father of resident Moira Maclean. Ian informs the Mother Superior and Moira that her father lies near death and wants her to marry him immediately. Stunned, she reluctantly agrees and they wed and consummate their vows. Not long afterward, her father arrives only for Moira to learn that she married the leader of her clan's greatest enemy.

Ian feels this marriage will insure the peace, yet he deserts his bride. Moira wants to forget how she has become a pawn of clan politics and return to her serene life. However, she now carries Ian's heir. Ian comes back for his wife not only because he fears an assassin seeking trouble between the clans will kill her, but also because he realizes he loves his gentle spouse. Now he must find a way to gain her trust first.

Once Scottish historical romance fans leap past that Machiavellian-like Ian is in love based on one quick night, they will enjoy this well-written tale. The story line is filled with action and counteraction as the clans' leaders and the assassin battle for supremacy between each other. The lead couple is a delightful duo and the secondary characters provide strength to the plot. Readers will enjoy Donna Fletcher's latest historical ISLE OF LIES once the plot shifts into gear.

SUMMARY

An epic Scottish romance by the acclaimed author of Irish Hope.

Clan loyalty has forced her to marry.... Moira Maclean has spent most o fher life cloistered in the solemn halls of a Scottish convent - and has only ever known her father's iron will. So when a handsome warrior barges in with news of her father's dying wish - that she marry this stranger on the spot - Moira knows that duty has her bound.

...but can it force her to love?

Soon Moira realizes the folly of her haste: that her father sent no such message; that she has just exchanged vows with her clan's own enemy, Ian Cameron of Glencoe. left behind at the convent, she discovers she carries his child.

A silver lining

But all is not bleak in the foggy Scottish moors: Ian returns to take his bride home, leaving rumors that her life is in danger - but is it from her father or someone else? Ian recognizes in himself feelings he thought he'd never feel again. And although she, too, thinks herself impervious to the emotions of love, Moira may well be in for a surprise....
