About this eBook
The award-winning author of To Wed aHighlander “takes us on a very sensual romp back to the 14th-century Scottish Highlands” (Book Junkie, 5 out of 5 stars).
Seven McTiernay brothers, each a highlander born to protect Scotland and her people, warriors known for their quick wits and quicker broadswords. The third brother, Cole, stared death in the face when he was only a boy . . .
Now Cole McTiernay is a man. And though he resists them in every way, he has responsibilities. The wild northern Highlands need a laird who can guide them to peace. Cole has the army strong enough to accomplish this task. What he doesn’t have is the desire—to be a leader among men.
And so he is sent off on a fool’s errand: a mission to retrieve something from the very Englishmen Cole has spent his life hating. When he finds that the “something” is a wild hellion, he balks, determined to make the return to Scotland as hard on her as it was for him to set foot on English soil. But though English herself, Ellenor Howell intrigues him with her fierce spirit, and Cole’s heart, deeply locked away for so long, may be vulnerable at last . . .
“An extremely engaging historical romance . . . quite amusing, a bit charming, and a thoroughly enjoyable read.”—Fresh Fiction
“Once again Sinclair demonstrates her ability to touch [fans’] minds and hearts, keeping them enthralled. Her deft handling of her characters’ emotional evolution, backed by her talent for presenting them in a plot that’s both witty and sensual, is captivating.”—RT Book Reviews

Great until it ended. I loved the continuation of the family. Now what I didn't like is the last chapter. A man fell on her, her husband saved her but she was bleeding. Then what happened, heck I don't know, I turned the page and 4 years had gone by, lol. Just seemed like part of the epic battle was lost. Anyway on to the next brother, lol

It was a very nice book. But there didn't seem to be all that much of the climax. I wish there would have been a little bit more trouble between the two it was just a very even paced book.

I hate that it just cut off in the midst of a climactic event. The end felt rushed. Loved all but that.
