Only an enemy soldier could save her life–and her heart.

Highlander Callum MacDonell battled lowland Covenanters at the service of the King. Now charged with hunting an assassin, his journey will lead not to justice, but to a murderer’s passionate Covenanter sister, Mari McEwan.

Betrayed and abandoned by the man she loved, Mari faces judgment by a tribunal of her people demanding she name the father of her unborn child, or be exiled from her beloved home and family. Sick and trembling, she knows that she must refuse. And yet, if she does so, a cruel fate awaits her.

Book 1 in the Highland Soldiers series, Scottish historical romances set during the turbulent Covenanter times of seventeenth century Scotland.

Highland Soldiers

The Enemy

When duty clashes with desire, only one will survive. 

On their last night together, Highland soldier Duncan MacDonell swore to love his Jenny, and she him, giving themselves to each other with only the Highland moon as their witness.

Now, with her true love away serving the king, Jenny faces an impossible choice. Her father arranges a marriage for her and ensures that she cannot say no. Left with no choice, she must betray her true love, and he’ll never know why. 

When Duncan returns, the sight of Jenny in another man’s arms sears his scorned heart. As Jenny struggles to honor her duty to family, she can no longer deny her heart’s longing. Jenny takes a stand to win Duncan back. But how can their love be enough to overcome the heartbreaking fate that now keeps them apart?

The Betrayal

His battle-scarred heart stands in the way of a love that could heal him.

Scottish Highlander Alex MacDonell returns home from fighting for clan and king to discover that the girl he once hunted and fished with has become an intriguing young woman. Kenna has adored him for years, but he always treated her like a little sister. When her own brother dies from battle wounds, Kenna is left with no family or home.

Alex would love Kenna if he could, but recurring nightmares of acts he committed while hunting down Covenanters now haunt his days and nights. When Kenna comes too close to his heart, he pushes her out of his life—and into the arms of another. Too late, he regrets his impulsive actions. Now he must fight to win her back before she weds another and is lost to him forever.

Book 3 in the Highland Soldiers series, Scottish historical romances set during the turbulent Covenanter times of seventeenth century Scotland.

The Return

It was the last thing he expected, and the last thing she wanted.

Newlywed Isobel Shaw lost everything. The king’s men seized her property and killed her husband. Turned out of her home, she sets out on foot for her family’s estate in the Highlands of Scotland.

Highland rake Charlie MacDonell is on his way home. After five years abroad as a mercenary soldier, he has realized he’ll never outrun his troubled past. When he meets Isobel on the road, she assures him she’ll manage quite well on her own. He admires her stubborn self-reliance, but refuses to leave her alone and defenseless.

As they travel together, Charlie finds himself wanting more. To his surprise, she’s immune to his charms—and he’s helpless to hers.
