Highland Weddings
by Mary Wine
Passion flares between enemies
Two hotheaded Highlanders, the offspring of feuding lairds, are tricked by the king's regent into a desperate choice: marry or die. Bhaic MacPherson is more disposed to lead his clan into battle than stay married to the daughter of his enemy. But perhaps the intensity of his feelings has more to do with desire than hostility.
And the Highlands ignite
Ailis Robertson wanted a husband, not a savageâbut when her family was faced with a deadly ultimatum, she had no choice. The union of a MacPherson and a Robertson could end three generations of hostilities between the two families, but can bitter rivals truly become lovers?
“Wine's attention to historical detail breathes life into this captivating tale.”
âPublishers Weekly
“Wine delights readers as she creates an incredible marriage-of-convenience romance with excellent pacing, depth of emotion, sensuality, and grand storytelling.”
