The Highlander's Dangerous Temptation

The Highlander's Dangerous Temptation
Terri Brisbin

Cursed by past tragedies, notorious highlander Laird Athdar MacCallum has devoted himself to leading his people – and has vowed never to marry again.Until he is utterly disarmed by the innocent beauty in the eyes of Isobel Ruriksdottir… Isobel is drawn to the vulnerability she senses behind the fearsome façade of the clan-chief. But with his formidable reputation, he is strictly forbidden.Being together can only lead them into danger, yet the temptation to risk all for their perilous passion is impossible to ignore.

He had crossed a line with her.

A very desirable and pleasing line, but one that an honourable man did not cross with an innocent unless there was an understanding between them.

When he attempted to step back she resisted, tightening her grasp on his shirt and leaning against him. She let him go but watched him with wide, intent eyes. Uncertain of what to say, he waited for her, expecting she would be overwhelmed by the power of the passion between them. When she did not speak, he finally found words.

‘Do you regret this?’ he asked softly as he leaned over and picked her shawl up from the floor.

‘Regret?’ She shook her head. ‘I regret only that you stopped.’

To all of my readers

You make me stay up nights, struggling to capture the words and images swirling inside my brain and to forge them into a story that’s worth reading! You make me want to write the next word, the next chapter, the next book, even when it makes more sense to give it all up and hit ‘DELETE’. Your notes, mail, e-mails, FB posts encourage me all along the way and especially during those long, intense, deadline binges o’writing.

All I can say is THANK YOU.
