As an officer of the Royal Corps of Engineers, it was my responsibility to construct His Majesty's highland stronghold. Although duty brought me to Scotland, I longed to return to London and my work as an architect. But 1 was suddenly abducted-not for ransom, but for marriage! I'd been chosen to wed The Maclnnes- sworn enemy of the King.
I had no intentions o f wedding any woman, and certainly not an enemy o f the Crown. But Lady Jessalyn Maclnnes was breathtaking, and she fired my blood like no other had. Destroyed by war and poverty, her clan consisted only of women, children and old men, but she was devoted to its welfare, and sorely needed my help to rebuild. I had been tricked into marriage, but the thought of creating a new life with my bride soon became quite tempting...
-----------------
If a spirited Highland lass kidnaps an English earl, does she get to keep him?
After Jessalyn MacInnes finds herself the new “laird” of Clan MacInnes, her well-meaning clansmen decide to go a-raiding to find her a bridegroom. When they toss their bound captive at Jessalyn’s feet, the last thing she expects to find is a strapping young Englishman with the face of a fallen angel, thick dark hair, and green eyes snapping with fury.
Neil Claremont, the earl of Derrowford, has journeyed to the Scottish Highlands with the Royal Corps of Engineers to fortify the king’s fortress, not to be kidnapped by a horde of barefoot savages and wed against his will. But when Neil first lays eyes on his bonny bride-to-be with her sparkling blue eyes and saucy wit, he begins to remember that after every wedding comes the wedding night…
