Excerpt;
"Will
you come to the great hall?" Elise asked Michael when they
passed through the castle gates.
"Aye,"
he replied shortly.
"Michael,"
she began, but he pulled his horse to a halt beside her and
dismounted.
He
came around to her and helped her from the saddle. "Go on."
She hesitated, and his eyes softened. "I'll be along after I
have seen to the animals."
She
pressed a kiss to his cheek. "You're a good man, Michael
MacGregor."
He
shook his head, but she could see that he was pleased. He limped off
leading the horses, and Elise headed for the great hall. At the
postern door, she entered and saw Marcus standing near the hearth. He
broke off his conversation with the two men who stood with him and
glanced over his shoulder. The drawn look on his face snapped into a
dark scowl. He started forward. Elise faltered when she saw he meant
to intercept her. His companions disappeared up the nearest staircase
and a hum of apprehension began deep in her stomach.
Marcus
rounded the table and reached the midway point when she blurted,
"Good afternoon, Marcus. How are you?"
"Where
have you been?" he demanded.
"I—"
She fell back an unsteady step when it seemed he would ram into her.
He halted three feet from her. "I have just returned from
visiting Michael."
"So
I was told," he replied curtly. "Winnie's warning did
nothing to deter you?"
"Winnie's
warnin—" Elise recalled her encounter with Winnie that
morning. Good Lord, Winnie had told him she saw her leave.
Marcus's
eyes narrowed. "Aye, you remember. Fortunately for you, I only
just discovered your absence. Unmanageable wench," he added in a
dark voice.
"You
have your answers," she shot back. "Why bother asking?"
"Because
I couldn't believe you were traipsing about the countryside."
"I
was not traipsing about the country. Not that it's your business."
"It
is my business—and I will see to it you no' do it again."
She
ignored the warning bell the definite hardening of his brogue set off
inside her head. and said, "You're insane if you think I'll be
ordered about."
"Ye
will do as you're told," he said in a quiet voice that was
perversely more unsettling than a shout.
"I
come and go as I please, just as everyone else at Brahan Seer."
A
keen light shone in his eyes. "If you will note, the women are
staying close to home." His expression hardened. "At the
express command of their men."
Elise
gasped, then glanced past him, gauging the distance between him and
the freedom the kitchen offered. He stepped closer and her temper
flared. She raised her hands to shield herself from his advance and
her palms met the unexpected warmth of his chest. She gaped at her
fingers splayed across tanned skin where his shirt lay open, and her
senses reeled at the raw power in the heavy rise and fall of his
chest.
"Lord,"
she whispered, and yanked her hands away.
The
vague realization that strong fingers had gripped her wrists was
overshadowed by the jolt she felt when Marcus forced her hands back
to his chest. Her mind screamed to break free, but the sight of her
palms gliding over his dark skin—the need to touch every contour,
to know intimately his powerful body—held her rooted to the spot.
She tore her gaze from his chest and looked into his eyes. The fire
blazing there drew her—commanded her—and she leaned into him.
"There
ye are, lad. I was just look—"
Elise
twisted as Cameron reached the bottom of the nearest staircase. He
lifted a bushy brow. She looked back at Marcus. His hold loosened and
she snatched her hands away. She retreated, stumbling over her own
feet. Marcus reached for her, but she dodged his hand with another
unsure step backward.
"I-I
must go," she stammered, and fled the room.
"Elise—bloody
hell!"
Marcus's
voice echoed off the stone walls as she shoved through the postern
door.
Blurb
How does a woman tell her betrothed that she murdered her first husband? Shipwrecked in the Scottish Highlands, American heiress Elise Kingston quietly plans revenge for the deaths of her daughter and the brother who sacrificed his life to save her. When Marcus MacGregor, Marquess of Ashlund, returns to his Highland home to discover a stunning American woman has been taken in by his clan, his attraction is instant and he resolves to make her his--no matter what secret she's keeping. Elise is shocked by her need for Marcus and, too late, discovers that her feelings make him a target of her enemy--a man powerful enough to destroy even a Scottish nobleman.
