Highland Messenger

The war is coming, and Mairead MacGregon makes it her business to know everything about the inevitable clash. But she's thrown off guard when she hears talks of an arranged marriage between herself and a neighboring laird. Desperate to prevent this union, she decides to make the dangerous trek to Bracken Ridge, and elicit the help of one man who might love her enough to save her. The only thing now is to convince the brooding Messenger to escort her to the war zone...

Except Thom MacCullvin refuses Mairead's proposal. He believes his dealings with the appealing lass are finished until he discovers her trailing after him. Forced to take her along with him on his journey, he discovers that she's the balm that could sooth the darkness in his soul. Yet even as the undeniable attraction between them sizzles and burns, he's painfully aware that she loves another. Can Thom be enough for Mairead? Or will she forget him once she's in the arms of another man?
