Highlander Romance · Glen Durrach

The Horn Lantern

The reivers took her cattle. She took the biggest man in the glen to her bed.

Samhain, 1401. Isobel has held her father's holding at the head of Glen Durrach since the spring, and held it well, until Brannoch raiders come over the ridge and lift her whole herd. Her kin want her home and the land off her hands. Instead she walks to the chapel and asks the chief's best fighting man to handfast her: a winter's guard on a lonely holding, and he may go home at Beltane.

Finlay says yes. The glen lays bets at the chapel door. The first snow shuts them in together, and Isobel takes him to bed that first night because she wants him, and says so.

She wants his body and his sword arm, and asks for nothing more. He has started wanting to be needed for more. Then the herd comes home at Yule, and the only reason she gave for keeping him is gone.

A year and a day to make it real. One winter to admit it.

Open-door, explicit Highlander romance with a heroine who chooses and a hero entirely at her service. For readers of Julie Garwood and Maya Banks.
