The Highlander’s Defiant Bride
About this ebook
Those dreams collapse into ashes when she is stolen from her home one dark night and delivered into the hands of a warrior from a rival clan. Calum Stewart has long planned his revenge on the Macleans for the murder of his beloved sister and his brother, and he cares not for the feelings of one frightened lass.
Rhona finds herself in the hands of people who loved Flora and Jaime Stewart—and who hate her with a passion.
Warfare breaks out between the Macleans and the Stewarts and other clans take sides, with feelings running high. The King has to intervene, and Rhona becomes a pawn in Highland politics.
She is forced to wed Calum Stewart, her cold and vengeful captor. Handsome and strong he might be, but the hero of her dreams he is not.
Lonely, heartbroken and baited at every turn by Calum’s bereaved mother Moira, Rhona settles into her new life, bleakly certain that things could not be worse. Her new husband does not mistreat her, but nor does he love her. Her fate seems sealed.
But in the Highlands, tempers run hot, passions ignite and Fate has a way of stepping in…

About the author
The world of medieval Scotland in the rugged Highlands has always appealed to Fiona. Many years ago she stayed up late reading Diana Gabaldon’s CROSS STITCH, and of course, years later, when it made it to the small screen as OUTLANDER she had to watch that too! Since the publication of the adventures of Claire and Jamie in CROSS STITCH, there have been many other great authors who also love to write about Highlanders and their lives. Fiona has read many of those stories, but most of all, she likes creating her own. Fiona says: “If you delve into history you’ll find that life in medieval Scotland was very hard, and some of the most wonderful people met with a terrible fate. I like to explore ‘what might have been’ in my books - both romantically and in the many skirmishes that took place! I happily create strong heroines and stalwart heroes, and try to give them a happy ending — but they may suffer greatly getting there!”
