Book Description
An uncertain bride looks for love with a man as wild and mysterious as his Highland home in this new Scottish romance from a USA Today–bestselling author. Ordinarily, Lady Fiona Ormiston wouldn’t think of forming an alliance with an ungroomed, barbaric Highlander, despite the protection he offers. But now, by request of the king, Sir Adham MacFinlagh, a brazen stranger and outsider unlike anyone she has met before, is to be her husband. Torn from solitude and the comfort of her family to make a home with the rugged knight, Fiona surrenders to Adham’s powerfully passionate—and shockingly tender—touch, only to discover her new husband’s family ties may lie with an enemy of the king. A sense of duty may have brought Adham to the marriage bed, but it’s his powerful feelings for his beautiful, willful wife that will be his undoing. Ultimately, the bold knight will have to decide: Does his allegiance lie with his blood ties to the man who hopes to bring down the king or with the bride who has stolen his heart? From the author “frequently credited with creating the subgenre” of Scottish romance with her Lairds of the Loch and Secret Clan series, The Reluctant Highlander is a rich historical tale of intrigue and desire (Library Journal). The Reluctant Highlander is the 1st book in the Highland Nights series, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

The illegitimate daughter of the Prince Regent might be expected to pursue various dubious professions—actress, artist's model, or even courtesan. Victoria Knight, however, has become a governess. It's a respectable choice, until she travels to Scotland to meet her new charges. The younger brothers of Nicholas Kendrick, Earl of Arnprior, aren't children at all. They're brawny, wild Highland men. As for the Earl, he's handsome, guarded, and far too compelling . . . especially for a woman with a dark secret. Nick's unmarriageable brothers require civilizing instruction, while Nick needs a sensible wife. Miss Knight seems to fit the bill on both counts. But he soon discovers there is more to Victoria than he thought. It's not just her notorious origins, or the danger that's followed her all the way to Scotland. It's the fiery loyalty beneath that sedate façade. The real Victoria, is the woman Nick is starting to desire desperately. And what an earl wants, he'll use every seductive means to get . . .
