With close to 60
romance titles in print, Connie Mason delights her fans once more,
returning to the Scottish Highlands in this tale of feuding Highland
clans. The MacKays and MacKennas have warred for years. Many loved ones
on both sides have died. When Laird MacKay loses yet another son he is
desparate for the killing to stop. Laird Ross MacKenna has lost much as
well and the most recent battle has taken the life of his young counsin
Gunn. Laird MacKay uses his most precious asset to stop the fighting;
his beautiful daughter Gillian's hand in marriage to the strong and
handsome Ross MacKenna. Ross agrees to the marriage in order to stop
the generations of feuding. When Gillian discovers the arranged
marriage she is enraged, thinking how can she leave her beloved home
and live with her enemy? Ross remembered seeing the flame-haired beauty
wielding a sword on the battlefield. He feels loving her lush body not
too high a price to pay, but even as he desires her, he cannot trust
her. Gillian soon begins to desire and fall in love with the handsome
and strong Ross. Just as an idyllic life seems possible there are those
within the MacKay Keep and without that would come between them and
create trouble. When a series of attacks against the MacKay clan begin,
and they appear to be truce breaking attempts by the MacKenna clan,
Ross unfairly banishes Gillian. Struggling with his desire and love, he
does not realize that he has released her into the real enemy's
clutches. Strong and beautiful Gillian refuses to give up and battles
to uncover the real villians. As Ross comes to her rescue, the suspense
and intrigue build, and soon generations of trouble that has plagued
the peace of both clans is revealed. Highland Warrior is a
well-written, fast paced, sensual Scottish Romance adventure that keeps
the reader riveted to the pages. Another masterfully written book to
add to your Connie Mason collection!
