Mairi Maclean is kidnapped on
her wedding day by the enemy of her dead husband. Taken north to the
water-surrounded Kisimul Castle, she is held captive in the name of
retribution. But The Wolf of Kisimul Castle soon learns Mairi is not a docile
pawn in this game of war between neighboring
Scots. Nor will she be
frightened into walking down the aisle to wed the fierce Highland chief.
Alec MacNeil is set on
revenge. When he finds his enemy dead, he takes his wife to replace the one
that was murdered. An eye for an eye. A bride for a bride. But Mairi is more
tiger than kitten and refuses to bend to his will. Set stubbornly against one
another, the passion that flares between them threatens to tear Alec’s strategy
to shreds.
EXCERPTHe crossed to the window without a word and looked out at the courtyard, his eyes scanning beyond. “Where is everyone?” he asked.“At the chapel, I assume,” she said, stepping closer. He probably smelled of sweat or ale. She inhaled. Nay. She smelled pine and the sea and fresh air on him.He turned, and she rubbed her nose to hide the action of sniffing him. His gaze dropped to her as if her nearness surprised him. “We will go,” he said.Mairi sighed. “I won’t have Geoff wondering if I would have failed his test, so go ahead.” She let her eyes flutter shut and waited. “Go ahead?” he repeated, and she blinked open.“Aye,” she said, starting to feel foolish. “Kiss me, if ye’re going to. Otherwise take me to the chapel.”The only change in the man’s devilishly handsome face was a slight rise in his brows, his clear blue-gray eyes widening the smallest amount. Those damnably tempting lips opened and closed, and his gaze drifted to the shut door before returning to her. He stared at her, as if he were delving into her thoughts. The idea shook Mairi, and she frowned.“Well, if ye’re not—”The man wrapped his hand around her arm, slowly reeling her in with constant, gentle pressure until she had to tip her head back to see his face. He radiated authority and determination, as if he could order the mountains to move, yet chose to hold her instead. Her heart hammered in her chest as he set his hand on her cheek. “A kiss, and then we go,” he murmured, moving his thumb across her jaw.She had time for only a quick inhale as he descended. Mairi had expected a bruising press of his mouth like Geoff had given her when he’d asked her to wed. But this man’s kiss was gentle and warm. With slight pressure, he tipped her head to seal their lips together, moving against her as if tasting an aged whisky. Heat flowed down through Mairi, wiping away all rational thought. Her knees numbed, but the man seemed to accept her weight easily as he held her against his hard body. His height made him loom over her, but Mairi felt safely surrounded by power instead of fearful. Her fingers reached behind his head to feather through his wavy hair. They were still woven in the dark mass when he gently pulled back, ending the most sensuous kiss Mairi had ever experienced. What bloody foolishness was Geoff thinking? Her traitorous body begged for more, but she stepped back, hands to her flushed skin above her low neckline. The man adjusted himself through his kilt, proving that he too had been affected by the kiss.“Who are ye?” she asked.
