Scotland, 1642.

He has sworn he will never marry.

Lachlan Cameron is honor bound to see a wounded lass to safety, although he has well learned women are deceivers, and this lovely maid harbors a wealth of secrets.

She has sworn she will never fall in love.

Maggie Murray fled her home to avoid a political marriage to an abusive man. Salvation comes when the Cameron laird, unaware of her identity, protects her as she escapes.

Story was OK, but would have been a novella if thinking about sex, talking about sex and having sex were less frequent.

Highland Deception (Highland Pride, Book 1) by Lori Ann Bailey. WOW! What a captivating and seductive Scottish Romance set in 1642 Scotland. Hard to believe Ms. Bailey is a debut author! This is the story of Lachlan Cameron, Laird of Cameron and Maggie Murray, betrothed to a brutal, abusive man. The only thing left for her, is to run for her life and enter a convent for protection. But, she runs right into the path of Lachlan and his men. Swore to protect her, but afraid of her deception, for he knows she is not telling him everything. Is she a spy for his enemies? Battling a fierce attraction, suspicion at every turn, and political and religious intrigue, as well, as turmoil that could threaten to tear two clans apart. Can Lachlan and Maggie find love amist intrigue and doubt? Steeped in deceit, treachery, betrayal, treason, and the brutal reality of warfare and a dangerous deception. Will Lachlan and Maggie learn to trust, heal, and find their HEA? Or lose everything to betrayal, and deceit? Well written with well-developed, captivating and seductive characters. The storyline is unique, intriguing, powerful and compelling. An emotionally charged Scottish Romance that will pull any Scottish lover into the story and hold them in rapture. Highly recommended! Fans of Scottish Romance, Highlanders, intrigue, treachery, treason and so much more, really should pick up "Highland Deception" for their reading pleasure. Impressive and treacherous! I look forward to the next installment. Received for an honest review from Net Galley. However, all opinions and thoughts are my own.

Loved it. Couldn't put it down

About the author

Lori Ann Bailey is a winner of the National Readers’ Choice Award and Holt Medallion for Best First Book and Best Historical. She has a romantic soul and believes the best in everyone. Sappy commercials and proud mommy moments make her cry.

She sobs uncontrollably and feels emotionally drained when reading sad books, so she started reading romance for the Happily Ever Afters. She was hooked.

Then, the characters and scenes running around in her head as she attempted to sleep at night begged to be let out. Looking back now, her favorite class in high school was the one where a professor pulled a desk to the center of the room and told her to write two paragraphs about it and the college English class taught by a red-headed Birkenstock wearing girl, not much older than she, who introduced her to Jack Kerouac. After working in business and years spent as a stay-at-home mom she has found something in addition to her family to be passionate about, her books.

When not writing, Lori enjoys time with her real-life hero and four kids or spending time walking or drinking wine with her friends.
