Young and naïve, Elizabeth Rothwell always dreamed that she would
marry for love and live the rest of her life in Thornhill Castle. When
Elizabeth is given in marriage to the fearsome Scottish Chieftain,
Robert MacDairmid, those hopes are dashed.
Robert is a man filled with the need for vengeance. To obtain the
means to destroy the man responsible for the death of his wife and
child, he agrees to marry Elizabeth, his enemy’s beautiful niece.
Although Elizabeth fears she will never be able to compete with the
memories of Robert’s past, she is determined to try, and surrenders
herself completely. The powerful warrior, with his gentle caresses and
breath-stealing kisses, awakens in her an explosive passion, and earns

English rule unfolds. When Robert is sentenced to death for treason,
Elizabeth is faced with a choice. Does she dismiss everything that’s
happened between them and believe that she was nothing more to
Robert than a political pawn? Or, should she trust once more in her
feelings, forgive Robert’s act of treason, and fight to save the man she
loves?

The beautiful and proud Elise D’Auvergne, recently
widowed when her abusive husband was killed by a band of
fearsome soldiers, is about to lose her beloved castle. Never
one to back down from a fight, Elise vows to do whatever it
takes to ensure the safety of her land and home.
William MacDarrin may be a sinfully handsome warrior,
but as the bastard son of a Scottish nobleman, he has no
claim to an inheritance. In a daring plan to ensure her
safety, Elise poisons William’s wine and captures him. But it’
s not his death that she desires, or ransom. Elise wants
William’s protection and proposes a bargain—land and
gold in exchange for marriage.
Having no interest in love and seeking revenge, William
eagerly agrees to Elise’s terms and takes her as his bride.
When the stoic chieftain holds the bonnie mistress of Castle
D’Auverne in his arms for the first time, he finds he may
have received more than he bargained for. As she melts his
well-guarded heart, he surrenders to her, swearing an oath
of his own—to make her love him—even If It Takes Forever.
