They should never have stolen his wife.

Ian Mackintosh and his bride, Rose, return to McLaren Lands to rebuild all that was destroyed by the previous laird. Believing bad times and evil men are behind them, they've let their guard down. Ian's world is turned upside down one cold winter's night when Rose is kidnapped.

Desperate, he is willing to make a deal with the devil himself in order to ensure her safe return. And he may have done just that when he agrees to work with the brother of the man responsible for tearing his world apart.

Is there a price too high to save the woman you love?

Ian's Rose

buriedexcerpt

Scotland, May 1356, The Mackintosh Keep, Northern Highlands of Scotland

Ian Mackintosh had inherited his father’s long and infamous stubborn streak. While that stubborn streak proved a useful skill on the field of battle, it was oft his undoing in other matters. Especially where matters of the heart or his pride were concerned.

Standing in the courtyard next to his older and equally pig-headed brother, Frederick, the two proud — and at times obstinate — men awaited the arrival of long over-due guests. It had been raining almost non-stop for three days and nights, only adding to the somberness of Ian’s mood. Drenched to the bone, sick at heart, he wanted nothing more than to be inside the keep with vast amounts of ale to keep him company.

Torches lined the pathway to the heavy gate and along the upper walls. They sizzled and hissed, fighting valiantly against the steady rain. The flames flickered with the gusting breeze, casting shadows hither and yon. Dancing shadows that at times Ian believed were mocking him.

Whilst Frederick was excited to be awaiting the arrival of his wife’s newly discovered family, Ian was not so exceedingly cheerful. There was much on the young man’s mind. More specifically, there was a woman on his mind. A beautiful woman with hair the color of honey and blue eyes that darkened if she was angry and brightened when filled with delight. Lately, those exquisite eyes were nearly obsidian, filled with sorrow. Sorrow brought on by his behavior. 

A woman who consumed nearly every waking thought. A stubborn, confusing, bewildering and beautiful young woman named Rose. And as much as he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her, building a future together, it was not meant to be. 

Also, readers can download a BIG Free sample of Ian’s Rose, for their e-readers. They can download it here: http://littl.ink/freesampleiansrose.  They get the Prologue and first 3 chapters for free.   Suzan 🙂

    I’ve never read any Scottish love stories before but I’ve read a lot of historical romance. I think this is going to be a good read.

    Squeee! I’m looking forward to this one! I met her at a signing and she’s a lovely lady in person, too. My favorite thing about Highland romance? Masculine men in kilts, with their sexy calves always exposed. This story has my ex-husband’s clan’s name. Hmmm.

    A highlander is the ultimate swoon worthy hero, which makes Scottish romances such a joy to read.

    I like the heroic men who are strong but still aware and sensitive. I like the idea of a man in a kilt.

    I’ve always respected the Scottish attitude towards life, and let’s face it who can say no to a man in a kilt speaking with that wonderful lilting accent?

    I love everything about Scottish love stories. Especially the feisty, strong women.
