Her mother thinks of her as a wild thing, and is pleased that she will be finally off her hands and wed to a future Chieftain, Angus Gordon—but Eimhir has a secret. When she slips away from the castle for a few hours of freedom before agreeing to accept Angus Gordon as her husband, she meets a man who promises her the kind of life she has dreamed of: adventure, excitement, and freedom. Liall Gunn is a free spirit, a seaman who has decided that his future lies with the same tumultuous seas that have always beckoned to Eimhir. He makes her a promise: that he will be back by Christmastide to claim her as his. But life moves on, and her father has promised her to Angus Gordon. If Liall cannot make it back by Christmastide, Eimhir’s dreams of freedom and love will come to naught...

THE MACLEAN CLAN HIGHLAND ROMANCE - BOXED SET (Series 1) Five stories of deep and abiding love that see our Scottish Highlanders and their feisty women fighting for a happy ending. Book 1: The Highlander’s Braw Lass “That wildcat in the Chisholm clan,” is the way most people describe Mairi Chisholm. Her mother despairs of her, and her father, tired of her rejection of one suitable match after another, finally presents her with an ultimatum: Marry Alastair Maclean or spend the rest of her life in the priory. Book 2: The Highlander’s Defiant Bride Rhona Maclean dreams of being swept off her feet by a highlands hero: a man who is handsome, strong and brave and loves her more than life itself. Those dreams collapse into ashes when she is stolen from her home one dark night and delivered into the hands of a Calum Stewart, a warrior from a rival clan who has long planned his revenge on the Macleans for the murder of his beloved sister and his brother. Book 3: The Highlander’s Stolen Love When Caitriona’s parents tell her that Duncan, her first and only love, has been so badly injured in battle that he cannot be a husband to any woman, she resigns herself to marriage with a cruel Laird, Cormag MacPherson. Duncan, still recovering from his war injuries, is stunned to discover that Caitriona needs him desperately. Fighting against almost insurmountable odds, Duncan sets out to rescue his stolen love. Book 4: The Highlander’s Huntress Finlay MacGregor’s friend Malcolm Campbell challenges him to a wager—and when Finlay loses, he finds that his task is to escort Malcolm’s headstrong sister, Isla, on one last hunting trip before she has to face the distasteful task of choosing a suitor. All does not go as planned—and after an accident, Finlay is forced to recuperate in the Campbell keep, with Isla as his unwilling nurse. Although both feel the flames of attraction, neither wants to give up their treasured independence… Book 5: The Highlander’s Challenge Hamish Maclean has overcome many challenges in his life, but none so difficult as the one that faces him now: how to win the trust of a woman who has borne too much mistreatment in her life. Jessie Gunn trusts no man—and has good reasons for feeling that way. She feels safe at last in the service of her beloved mistress Caitriona, protected in the Maclean keep. She has no plans to give herself in marriage… until disaster strikes and war between clans threatens if she does not.

Their two eldest children, Gavin and Mairead Hay, have also proved themselves brave and loyal in service to the king—but flame-haired, blue-eyed Isobel is different. Her family have always known that their strange young daughter has been touched by the fay, but they are ill-prepared when she is drawn into clan warfare surrounding the man she has always known she will marry—the rightful Laird Mackenzie. Fergus Mackenzie was driven out of his home by the McGregors in a night of death and flames when he was but a child of eight summers, and hidden away by loyal servants until he is old enough to reclaim his heritage. But on that dreadful night, so long ago, Fergus had a vision of a red-haired babe that he thought of as his salvation. Both he and Isobel, raised in different homes, have always known that they were meant to be together. But ten weeks before Isobel is to wed Fergus, the warlike McGregors set fire to the Hay keep and steal Isobel away—along with her wee niece, Seona. Now it is up to Fergus to unite the restive clans who may have reason to rise up against the McGregors and the Gunns, and rescue his Isobel before they decide she is of no use to them and kill her. But will the clans support him? Are there enough of them? And... will he get there in time?
Isla Campbell likes nothing more than being out in the bracing wind and snow of the highlands, hunting or practicing her skills with a dagger. Finlay MacGregor has spent most of his adult years as a warrior, fighting for his King or his clan, sating his appetites with tavern wenches and enjoying a wager with his friends. Then one day, Finlay’s friend Malcolm MacGregor challenges him to a wager, but laughingly refuses to tell him the penalty if he loses. Confident, Finlay agrees… but when he does indeed lose, finds that his task is to escort Malcolm’s headstrong sister, Isla, on one last hunting trip before she has to face the distasteful task of choosing a suitor. With bad grace, Finlay takes Isla out hunting, but after an accident ends up recuperating in the Campbell keep. Isla is his unwilling nurse, and although both feel the flames of attraction, they battle each other as much as his wound. It seems that they are fated to remain apart. In a final showdown, Finlay has to prove himself worthy of his wild huntress. But can he give up his warrior’s lifestyle?

For Wade is convinced that the woman is Mairead Hay, a Scottish spy to whom he owes his life.

Worse, he knows that Col has vowed to kill them both. Wade and Anne find themselves not only fighting for their lives, but also fighting their feelings for each other… and denying a love that can never be.

Jessie Gunn trusts no man, and has good reasons for feeling that way. Renowned for his fierceness on the field of battle, and especially for the hot temper that has seen many a warrior quail, Hamish has been content to encourage the rumours that enhance his reputation.
