Highlanders
by Tarah Scott
CLAIMED Sometimes, the hero must be the villain... Fourteen months ago, Lady Rhoslyn lost her husband and infant son to a fever. Now, by order of King Edward I, she is yanked from the healing tranquility of a convent to marry the king's favored bastard knight. Rhoslyn has no intention of returning to the home where her husband and child died. Neither does she intend to hand over her fortune to the 'Dragon' - no matter his sweet promises and warm kisses. Talbot St. Claire tires of war. Seventeen years is enough. King Edward will never release him from service, but the king promises Talbot will find some peace in front of his own hearth. Talbot expects to find a horse-faced, hostile woman in the Scottish heiress Edward commands him to marry. Instead, he discovers a fiery Highland beauty worthy of a man's respect...and love. Talbot determines to do anything to win his new bride's acceptance. Anything except the one thing she demands: betray his king and embrace his Scottish heritage. TO TAME A HIGHLAND EARL A man torn between two worlds. Both need him... neither wants him. Groomed for a life amongst the English aristocracy, Lord Erroll Rushton is unexpectedly thrust back into his father's Scottish world when the Englishwoman he compromises refuses to marry him. No gentleman breaks into a lady's bedchamber...but then, no lady sleeps with a pistol under her pillow. Miss Eve Crenshaw will marry for love or won't marry at all. When London's most notorious rakehell breaks into Eve's bedroom in the dead of night and compromises her beyond repair, she plans a daring elopement that shocks even the earl. MY HIGHLAND LORD London Heiress kidnapped by the Marquess of Ashlund, read the headlines. Yet no one tried to save her. Phoebe Wallington was seven years old when a mass assassination attempt rocked Regency England. Her father was the only accused traitor to elude capture. Seventeen years later, the one man who could prove her father's innocence is dead. Now as a grown woman and a British spy, she's no closer to learning what really happened that day. Phoebe's quest for the truth takes a sudden turn when she's kidnapped by a suspected traitor. But Kiernan MacGregor, the Marquess of Ashlund, may not live long enough to stand trial. Someone wants him dead... and Phoebe stands in the killer's way. The only way to save her reputation and protect Kiernan is to marry him.
