Beschreibung des Verlags
Captured by a brooding Highland laird? These tried-and-true tips are sure to turn him kilt over heels in love and give you exactly the HEA every Scottish lass deserves:
• Save his son and protect the boy as your own;
• Fiercely square off toe-to-toe with your scowling captor at every opportunity;
• Never, ever let him know you’ve fallen in love.
Laird Gavin MacKinnon is a changed man—and not for the better. Ever since his young son, Ewan, disappeared two years ago, Gavin has grown callous and bitter. Scouring the countryside, his search leads him to a mysterious woman who maintains the boy is hers. He decides to take them both and ask questions later.
Deirdre MacIntyre will go with the brooding laird if it will keep her son safe, but she meets fire with fire at every opportunity, letting the Highland brute see just how fierce she can be. Gavin has to admit that the beautiful lass has a bond with Ewan—not to mention an allure he can’t deny—and things aren’t adding up. Maybe it wouldn’t hurt to give her the benefit of the doubt. But when Deirdre’s clan comes to claim her under threat of war, Gavin has a choice to make: fight to keep Deirdre at his side or let go his one true chance of ever knowing peace.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
McLayne's fourth Sons of Gregor MacLeod historical (after Highland Betrayal) brings the 15th-century Scottish Highlands to life. Deirdre MacIntyre attends a clan gathering at the insistence of her husband, Lewis, leaving her adopted four-year-old son, Ewan, at home. When she meets fierce warrior Gavin MacKinnon, his resemblance to Ewan makes her think he may be Ewan's father. Deirdre knows little of Ewan's origin; Lewis gave the young boy to her two years ago, claiming to have fathered him out of wedlock, and she's done her best to mother him. After Deirdre leaves the gathering, Gavin, having heard the MacIntyres have his boy, follows her back to her home, abducts her and Ewan, and takes both of them back to his castle. Deirdre and Gavin cannot help falling in love as Gavin reconnects with his son. Sizzling love scenes and a captivating, intelligent heroine make this unusual story sizzle. McLayne's novel will appeal to those who enjoy expertly paced Highlands historicals with well-developed characters.
