Blurb
A bold, seductive laird meets his
passionate match in a scintillating Highland romance from New York
Times bestselling author Lynsay Sands.
Sword
fighting, swearing, and riding astride come naturally to Saidh Buchanan.
Simpering and holding her tongue-definitely not. Raised alongside seven
boisterous brothers, Saidh has little interest in saddling herself with a
husband…until she glimpses the new Laird MacDonnell bathing naked in the loch.
Though she’s far from a proper lady, the brawny Highlander makes Saidh feel
every inch a woman.
She
has an angel’s looks, a warrior’s temper, and seeks out his kisses with wanton
eagerness. Little wonder that Greer is intrigued by his comely guest. When
reckless desire overtakes them, he’s more than willing to make an honest woman
of her. But Saidh is the target of a hidden enemy, and Greer faces the battle
of his life…to safeguard the woman he wants above all others.

“A lady does no’ climb
trees.”
“Ye’ve told me that three
times now, lad,” Saidh responded dryly, shifting her foot up to the next branch
and hauling herself upward.
“Aye, but ye’re still doing
it, so I thought mayhap ye had no’ heard me,” Alpin said sharply. When she
didn’t respond to that, he added, “I could climb up there to pick the apples
and throw them down, ye ken.”
“Then there would be no one
to catch them,” Saidh pointed out.
“I was thinking mayhap ye
could stay below and catch them, as a lady should,” he said, sounding much put
upon.
Saidh plucked the apple
she’d been climbing to and glanced down to see where the boy was before
dropping it in his direction. Once Alpin had caught it, and set it with the
others they’d already gathered, she started to climb down and asked, “Just how
old are ye, Alpin?”
“Nine,” he said proudly.
“Hmmm,” she muttered, easing
down another branch. “Ye act ninety.”
“Laird MacDonnell says the
same thing,” Alpin announced with disgust.
“Then we are in agreement,”
Saidh said cheerfully, easing down another branch.
“I suspect the two o’ ye
would agree on a lot o’ things,” Alpin said sounding annoyed.
“I suspect yer right,” Saidh
said with a laugh and jumped to the ground. She took a moment to brush her
hands together, then released her skirt from where she’d caught it up and stuck
it through her belt for the climb, then beamed at the boy and said, “Is that
no’ nice?”
“Nay,” Alpin assured her
heavily. “I’m thinking ’tis a bad thing.”
Her eyebrows rose in
surprise. “Why is that?”
“Because ye both just go
about doing as ye wish with little regard fer how a laird or lady should
behave,” he said firmly. “Someone needs to take the two o’ ye in hand and teach
ye—What the devil are ye doing now?” he interrupted himself to ask with dismay
when Saidh moved over to the apples, caught her skirt up and knelt to begin
placing the apples in the bag-type affair she’d made of her skirt.
