Description:
Caden
Mackay would never bed a Sutherland, let alone marry one. Bloody
hell, what had possessed his twin brother to propose to one of the
she-devils? And what is Caden to do with the Sutherland beauty who
appears, as if by magic, in his library? The defiant intruder is the
enemy, but she is unlike any woman Caden’s ever known, and her
tantalizing curves and wide green eyes could tempt a monk. He must
devise a way to stop the wedding. But can he stop the desire that
makes him long to make Ariel Sutherland his own?
Ariel’s
life had never gone the way she’d hoped, but ending up in
eighteenth century Scotland was a stretch, even for her. If not for
her dog, Scruffy, she might have thought she’d walked into a
romantic daydream. Especially since the object of her desire appears
to be entirely too virile. But can she find her way back to her time,
before her too-handsome Highlander makes her believe that love can
conquer in any century?
Highland
Yearning-Excerpt
Caden
turned to his cousin. “We’ll search the windows above. By now the
coward has fled, but we may yet find something to unmask our would-be
assassin. Then we’ll attend to your urgent matter.”
He
drew Ariel aside far enough that Ian couldn’t hear them. His
expression screamed, I’d rather fight a dozen well-armed warriors
than be in debt to a Sutherland. “Thank you for . . .” He simply
stared at her.
“Saving
your life?” She waited. Nothing. “Kissing you?” She raised her
eyebrows. “Just trying to fill in the blank here.”
He
blanched, but then heat filled his eyes. “Aye.”
“Well,
one of us had to take the bull by the horns.” Okay, best not to
dwell on that image. “I mean, I was curious. I wanted to kiss you.
No big deal. It was just a kiss.”
“Aye.”
“Will
you stop agreeing with me.”
His
smile was genuine and she felt it to the tips of her toes. Good
heavens, the man had charisma.
“I’ve
nae had a woman who wanted me to disagree with her.”
“Well,
I’m not like most women.” That was true enough. She’d never
done the ‘let’s talk about boys, clothes and makeup thing’ with
a group of girls. Somehow, she’d never fit in.
He
smiled down at her. “Aye.”
“There
you go, agreeing again.”
“Perhaps
it’s because you make yourself so agreeable.”
She
couldn’t contain the laughter that burst from her lips. “Really?”
The word came out between gasps. “Oh, I wish you could have been
there to tell my teachers. Not that they’d believe you. They
thought I questioned everything.”
“Then
they didnae ken you.” His brows drew together. “I believe the
stone was meant for me, but just in case, I want you to take care.
Her
laughter died. “Why would anyone want to kill me?”
“Have
you offended anyone aside from Ranald, the Countess or Robertson
since I met you?”
“I
don’t-So, I speak my mind. Is there a law against that in this
century?”
“No.
And I prefer plain speaking, but I’m nae most men.”
“No,
you’re not.”
About
the Author
“Once
Upon a Time” are four of Dawn’s favorite words, because she never
knows where they will lead. She writes stories to remind herself that
even though things may seem bleak, there is always the possibility of
a “Happily Ever After.” If along the way she makes readers smile,
cry or see the magic in their everyday lives, then she’s done her
job.
Dawn’s
written several award-winning novels set in Georgian England and the
Highlands – an era filled with rules and intrigue. Her characters
often defy “Society” as they pursue love, run away, pursue, run
away – well, you get the idea.
Then
again, she might write romance in order to do the research. What
other profession encourages you to sit in the audience at Harlequin’s
Male Model search, and take notes, or just sigh?
When
she’s not writing, Dawn may be found singing, gardening, learning
to play the harp or wood carving. She lives in a Victorian home in
Upstate New York with her husband and very independent cats.
Dawn
hopes you’ll read her books, and together you’ll bring to life
characters that aren’t perfect, but have a story to tell.
