The Highlander's Rescued Bride
Despre această carte electronică
Robert Ogilvy, her brother Donal’s best friend, grew up having to rescue Anice from one mishap after another. He is fond of his friend’s wee sister, and often enough amused by her pranks—until her twelfth summer, when his father and Anice’s decide it would benefit the clan if the two of them were to be betrothed. They announce it at her brother Donal’s birthday celebrations, expecting Robert to be pleased.
Aghast, Robert finds it hard to hide his dismay. Wee Anice? This tearaway lass with a bawdy sense of humor and stick-straight tangled straw hair? How could he think about her as a wife and Lady of the Keep? Hellfire, she is more like a sister to him!
Nevertheless, three years later, on Anice’s fifteenth birthday, they are wed. Robert, at his wits’ end with his impulsive wife, secretly enlists the help of the servants to keep her out of trouble.
But what happens when Anice, willful and proud and now a woman grown, finds out about his plan? The cold Scottish hills near melt with the fury of her anger!

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!”
