Publisher Description
The author of Seducing the Highlander introduces an “eminently swoonable hero . . . to keep [her] audience dreaming of kilts for weeks” (Publishers Weekly, starred review).
Not a McTiernay by blood, but a brother nonetheless, Hamish will choose honor over all, until his world is shaken by one impetuous kiss . . .
A Lasting Passion
Elite McTiernay guardsman Hamish MacBrieve is looking for a clean start. But when his brother, laird of Foinaven Castle, leaves the family holdings dangerously unprotected, Hamish has no choice but to return and keep his clansmen safe. And when he does, he discovers that Foinaven’s painful memories have been replaced by the most distracting opportunity for passion.
A Timeless Seduction
When Mairead MacMhathain learns that the eldest MacBrieve is returning home, she imagines he’ll bring salvation in the form of a powerful army. Instead, the hulking, powerful man she idolized as a girl arrives alone. But now instead of a little sister, Hamish sees her as the woman she has become. And under his heated gaze, despite the danger swirling around them, Mairead finds herself tempted, taunted, and tantalizingly seduced . . .
“A Highland frolic staring a feisty heroine and a hero with brains and brawn . . . great fun.”—Bookpage
“Smartly drawn characters and an intricate plot . . . A sexy, fun, and generally successful Highlander historical romance.”—Kirkus Reviews
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Sinclair broadens her racy, spicy sixth 14th-century McTiernay romance (after Seducing the Highlander) by introducing a new and eminently swoonable hero, Hamish MacBrieve. Hamish's pacifistic younger brother, Robert, fell in love with Selah, the woman Hamish wanted to marry. Warrior Hamish left his castle, its lairdship, and Selah to Robert and rode off to join the McTiernays. After 12 years battling beside his adoptive brothers, Hamish's duty to Robert, who's being threatened by the scheming Ulrick, brings Hamish back to Foinaven where fate, in the form of Selah's sister Mairead, awaits him. Their torrid mating dance, which dominates most of this lush historical romance, is complicated by previous disastrous forays into courtship that have left them both wary. Hamish is torn between desire and distrust, and Mairead oscillates between being infuriated by his reserved attitude and being so captivated by his manly physique that she fears "drooling all over" the both of them. In steamy scenes, Hamish sears her senses (and the reader's) with "intimate aggression." This lengthy excursion into the Highlands contains enough plaid tossing, claymore brandishing, castle-bound conniving, and erotic adventuring to keep Sinclair's audience dreaming of kilts for weeks.
