Book One

HIGHLAND WARLORDS SERIES BOOK 1 

Forced to choose between love and vengeance. 

It is 1314, and Scotland is facing a mortal struggle for independence against English tyranny. Cormac Buchanan is over six foot of muscle and ferocity, a warrior who has spent years fighting for Robert the Bruce. Cormac is battling not only the English invaders but also his clan’s sworn enemy, the Gowans so he is horrified at his king’s command to bury old enmities and unite with Clan Gowan, through marriage. 

Cormac expects his bride to hate him, and he intends to put her aside and forget about her. What he does not expect, is Ravenna Gowan, a bastard, half low-born and fiercely defiant. He just wants her to obey, in bed and out of it, but with looks that would stir any man’s blood, Ravenna wakes a savage need in him. Shame he can’t trust her, nor can he ever look favourably on any Gowan, after what they took from him.

Banished for the sin of forbidden love, Ravenna Gowan’s life seems over, until her father has to sacrifice a daughter to the cause of King Robert the Bruce. Ravenna is about to become the glue that binds two clans together by wedding fearsome warrior Cormac Buchanan, but she refuses to be a pawn in men’s power games. For Ravenna, this forced marriage holds no hope of love, nor is it about loyalty or duty - it is all about vengeance. 

The Laird’s Bastard Daughter takes the reader from the moors of the Highlands to castles under siege, and, as Scotland burns, to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Scots rebel army in the battle lines at Bannockburn. 

Loyalties are tested, bloody vengeance is sought, and secrets are uncovered, with deadly consequences. 

The Laird’s Bastard Daughter is the first of The Highland Warlords Series but can be read as a stand-alone book. 

 HIGHLAND WARLORDS SERIES BOOK 2

Castles and hearts are under siege.

Giselle de Villers is sent to Northumberland to wed, but when a Scots hoard besieges her betrothed’s castle, she falls prey to vicious predator, Banan MacGregor. Salvation, of sorts, comes in the shape of handsome Lyall Buchanan, who wins her as his war prize and takes her for ransom. Carried off into the Highlands, Giselle has to suffer the protection of a savage Scot who is as wild and unpredictable as his moorland home. But he is also a sight to behold and more of a man than anyone she has ever met. Soon, Giselle is in danger of losing not only her freedom, but also her virtue and her heart. As she tries to resist Lyall’s practised seduction, Banan’s urge to possess her grows to murderous proportions. 

Lyall Buchanan has become two men. Haunted by the rigours of war, he is torn between the ruthless fighter he has to be to survive, and the honourable man he once was. When Giselle de Villers needs protection, he steps in. Telling himself he wants the ransom her rich father will pay, Lyall drags her into Scotland. But feelings that lay buried, start to resurface, and soon, the soft, English lass becomes more than just an enemy and a burden. Giselle is at his mercy, so, if she yields to him, is it through passion, or fear? 

When evil threatens to tear them apart, how far will he go, how low will he sink, for love? As storm clouds gather around the throne of Scotland, a reckoning approaches, and a fight to the death, in one final, bloody siege - for freedom and for love. 

The Highlander’s War Prize takes the reader on a journey of temptation, seduction and conquest, through the moors of Scotland, into its deep lochs and soaring glens. 

The Highlander's War Prize is the second of The Highland Warlords Series but can be read as a stand-alone book.

 HIGHLAND WARLORDS SERIES BOOK 3

He saved her life. Now she belongs to him.

William Bain has clawed his way out of the wreckage of his outlaw past and now rules a clan on the Isle of Skye. Quick-tempered, impetuous and ruggedly charming, Will has no need for love and loyalty for he is his own cause, until Morna Buchanan falls under his power.  

She once saved him from execution as a traitor and, now that he has rescued her from dire peril, he would repay the debt. Will pledges to keep Morna safe from those who would destroy her, but is she safe from the desire that stirs when he looks upon her? Will is not a man to ignore his worst impulses, especially not those driving him towards a girl as bonnie as she is wild, and he will not be denied for long. 

Morna Buchanan is about to wed when she is betrayed and sent to her doom. When Will Bain rescues her, she thinks he is her saviour. His wounded soul calls to hers, and she goes weak at the knees with every look from his piercing, blue eyes, never having forgotten their meeting years before. Will was just out of boyhood then, but now he is a man and a dangerous one at that. The longer Morna stays at his grim castle on the cliffs of Skye, the more she suspects she is not a guest, but a prisoner.  

As Scotland braces for another English invasion, Morna must form an alliance to keep her family safe. If that means a union with William Bain - traitor, outlaw, pirate, then so be it. She has to have him in the name of peace and family loyalty, doesn’t she? The only problem is that Will is not giving her a choice in the matter. 

The Pirate Laird’s Hostage takes the reader from the hills of Skye, across storm-tossed oceans and onward, to a terrible massacre on the meadows of Yorkshire. Get ready for a battle of hearts, as Will and Morna learn the difference between possession and love, self-interest and honour. 

The Pirate Laird’s Hostage is the third and final book of The Highland Warlords Series but can be read as a stand-alone book.
