Book excerpt: A Soldier's Salvation Forever seeking salvation… Rodric Anderson isn't a soldier anymore. Nay, many would refer to him as a mercenary-a soldier for hire. He's embroiled in a Duncan clan matter. He's also hunted by the authorities, wanted by women, and tied to none. He's a part of a band of brothers, all former soldiers, some outlaws, all who make themselves available for the right coin-sometimes, the right cause. One woman has caught his eye. A shrew of a woman. Why was it he could not get her out of his mind? Caitlin's hand has been given in marriage by her wretch of a stepfather to a man who is no less a wretch himself. Her only escape is to run away. Except that things are never quite so simple when it comes to choices. A Warrior's Soul This warrior’s soul isn’t meant to be alone... Brice is a former warrior turned soldier of fortune hired to escort a Highland shrew to an Englishman. Alana’s the niece of a Highland laird betrothed to English royalty against her will. She’s hardheaded, fierce, and independent. He’s hellbent on delivering her to her destination. Until he discovers her destination is a version of hell he wouldn’t wish on his worst enemy, and certainly not on this spirited Highland lass. An Outlaw's Word Some words are meant forever… Ysmaine’s half Scottish, half French, all attitude and independence. Quinn’s a mercenary that needs more cash than the recent jobs have been providing. She’s got the means to money. He’s got a need for it. She’s not willing to do what needs to be done for the money. He’s willing to kidnap and hold her for ransom. Until… Until a Frenchman with a title and no morals steps into the picture. Now… Things have changed. A Highlander's Need Some needs are forever… She accepts no man as her boss. She runs her father’s household and runs the forest when she’s not. He’s a youngest son brought home from his mercenary soldier of fortune ways by a father’s trickery. He’s not remotely interested in settling down. She has news for him. Neither is she. Except both their fathers think they know what this hardheaded woman and this fierce former soldier need. Only it would seem no one bothered to learn what these two want. A Highlander's Scars Not all scars are visible… Donnan Ross, a friend of Padraig Anderson, is headed home from battle bearing more scars than a man should. He discovers that his father is dying, and his brother has left the family with hefty debts to pay. Beyond frustrated, Donnan retreats to a life of a hermit while spies infiltrate the Highlands and take “disloyal” folks as captives. A powerful laird offers Donnan’s father the opportunity to erase the family’s debt in exchange for helping him find his missing daughter. A woman that some claim has fallen in love with one of the enemy. Donnan remembers the laird’s daughter only too well. Fenella, they called her. A headstrong mouthy Highland lass. No one told Donnan that Fenella was involved with the spies. No one told him she’d blossomed into such a beauty. Now, Donnan has a difficult decision to make. Fenella is not the type to fall for traitors, nor is she naïve to the ways of the world. She is not enamored with one of the enemy, but her wish to serve her clan has dropped her in hot water. And, now the bitter recluse of a man she remembers from childhood thinks the worst of her. And she doesn’t care. But why is she so bothered, then? A Highlander's Woman A Highlander loves forever... This book in the Highland Heartbeats brings us a wonderful love story for Padraig Anderson, Rodric’s younger brother who now heads the Anderson clan and has seen his brother and all of his friends find his happily ever after while he’s stayed the course and run the family business. Margaret is an assassin with the Order. Until she can’t perform her last assignment. Now she’s on the run, disguised as a lad, and facing down scoundrels outside brothels. Until she’s rescued by Sorcha and Moira and brought to the Clan Anderson homestead. Who said life would be any easier when her heart keeps beating faster every moment the laird steps near?
