The Highland Chief

Scottish Strife Series - Book 1

With their father nearing death, Rory MacGregon and his brothers fear the inevitable. But their hopes are renewed when the ailing man names a renowned Scottish healer who defected to England years ago. Rory crosses dangerous territory to obtain her help, only to discover that the gifted healer would rather kill herself than save his dying father. Rory gauges that kidnapping the woman is his only option when the healer's beautiful daughter appears. The spirited lass declares that she is also a healer, and offers to go in her mother's stead.

Darra Berchelaine has heard many stories about the bloodthirsty savages from the north. When she learns that the devil Scots plan to abduct her mother, Darra must protect her at all cost — even if that means feigning co-operation and luring the brutish Highlanders away from the castle. But even as she schemes to escape from her enemies, she finds herself inexplicably drawn to the brawny Highland Chief. Suddenly Darra realizes that the handsome Highlander is neither an enemy nor a savage. And the only thing she needs to protect is her heart.

The Highland Chief Excerpt…

The silence was almost deafening as they entered the dark corridor, but her thoughts were loud and persistent. What was she doing wandering around in the middle of the night? If her mother was awake, she would likely be displeased to discover Darra in her chamber. But Darra had already gone so far, and it seemed foolish to retrace her steps.

When they finally arrived at the oak door, Fyfa lifted the candle holder so Darra could find the handle.

She was about to push at the door when she paused at hearing murmuring voices inside. She gave Fyfa an alarmed glance.

“What is it, milady?” Fyfa whispered as she leaned closer, her wide eyes illuminated by the candlelight.
