Scottish pride, persuasion, and passion--this is Highland romance at its breathtaking best.
From USA Today bestselling author May McGoldrick comes Highland Sword, the third book in the Royal Highlander series.
A VOW FOR VENGEANCE
Fleeing to the Highlands after her father's murder, fiery Morrigan Drummond has a score to settle with Sir Rupert Burney, the English spymaster responsible for his death. Trained to fight alongside the other rebels determined to break Britain's hold on Scotland, she swears to avenge her father's death--until a chance encounter with a barrister as proud and principled as she is presents her with a hard choice...and a bittersweet temptation.
A PLEA FOR PASSION
Aidan Grant has never encountered another woman like dangerous beauty Morrigan--and he has the bruises to prove it. Yet she could be the key to defending two innocent men, as well as striking a death blow to the reprehensible Burney. Convincing Morrigan to help him will take time, but Aidan is willing to wait if it means victory over corrupt government forces and freedom for his people...and Morrigan's hand in marriage. Can two warriors committed to a cause stand down long enough to open their hearts to a love fierce enough to last...forever?
Perched on the North Sea with the Highlands at its back, Aberdeen, a `steep, rough, narrow and malodorous’ town has begun its evolution into the Granite City. Here wealth and influence reign in a city where underworld kings, Jacobites and violent reformers, and self-serving politicians clash in a mortal struggle for survival and dominance.
Into this dynamic setting comes a woman from the shadows and a man who pursues her. This series of three interwoven novels, based on the overarching story of Orpheus and Eurydice, reframes a mythic tale of love, loss, revenge, corruption, and redemption, told largely from the point-of-view of three heroines, women from the margins of society who will not be denied. Pitted against them is an insidious Hades-figure whose spider like reach extends across Scotland.
