The Striker

New York Times bestselling author Monica McCarty continues her Highland Guard series in this tenth steamy historical romance set against the sweeping backdrop of the Scottish Highlands.

When Eoin MacLean decides to fight with Robert the Bruce, he knows he will earn the enmity of his new bride's father, but he doesn't expect Margaret MacDowell, the spirited girl he's fallen in love with, to betray him. Blaming her—and himself for trusting her—for the disaster that led to the death of Bruce's two brothers, Eoin cuts her out of his heart and leaves her behind with no intention of ever coming back. But when Bruce puts him in charge of conquering the troublesome southwest province of Galloway—ruled by his wife's father—Eoin reconsiders. Especially after he learns that his treacherous wife who thinks him dead plans to remarry. That's one wedding he has no intention of missing.
