Tempting the Enemy Lairds

"Not ’til ye beg me."

"I’ll never beg."

Three clans bought peace the way clans always did:

by handing over a daughter

.

Highlander’s War of Clans:

Caitlin McClearey wins the axe throw at her own betrothal games, watched by the man his father has sent to marry her and open her gates

from the inside

. He confesses it himself the morning after the wedding, which is how she comes to be standing outside his cell with one question. "Dae ye want this war?"

Highlander’s Haunted Past:

Kenna Gordon is married to a Fraser the year her own father is executed for treason, to a husband who

will not touch her

. So when Mary, Queen of Scots has

a hot poker held to her arm

until she confesses, the man who stops it is the husband who would not come near her.

Highlander’s Deception:

When Sloane Fenton refuses to spy on her husband’s sister, her father retaliates by telling Lachlan that she once

murdered his cousin

. Lachlan asks her outright and believes her, which is why nobody is ready for the night his sister is attacked and Sloane is the one

found in the room with her.

Steamy, no cliffhangers. All three were previously published as standalones.
