The Highlander's Reckless Bride
Despre această carte electronică
She pleads with her sister Crissa to take her place in the nuptials, pretending to be Owena. After all, she says, nobody will care if Crissa, a widow, decides to marry one of the King’s men!
Crissa finally gives in, and Owena takes her name and slips away to marry her spy, breathlessly anticipating a life of adventure.
Barely two months into her marriage, she realizes that her husband is not the man she thought. Her hopes and dreams have turned to ashes. But Owena was never the kind of lass to sit back and accept what life throws at her, so she decides to follow her husband when he sets off on a mission. She will either reform him, she vows, or leave him and find the kind of life she wants!
Before the sun has set on the first day, Owena finds herself in a great deal of trouble. Who is this hard-eyed man who has been following both Owena and her husband? And what does he have in mind for Owena?
Owena discovers that it is far from easy to navigate the treacherous waters inhabited by spies and traitors, all the while remembering that she is supposed to be her sister Crissa!

The world of medieval Scotland in the rugged Highlands has always appealed to Fiona. Many years ago she stayed up late reading Diana Gabaldon’s CROSS STITCH, and of course, years later, when it made it to the small screen as OUTLANDER she had to watch that too! Since the publication of the adventures of Claire and Jamie in CROSS STITCH, there have been many other great authors who also love to write about Highlanders and their lives. Fiona has read many of those stories, but most of all, she likes creating her own. Fiona says: “If you delve into history you’ll find that life in medieval Scotland was very hard, and some of the most wonderful people met with a terrible fate. I like to explore ‘what might have been’ in my books - both romantically and in the many skirmishes that took place! I happily create strong heroines and stalwart heroes, and try to give them a happy ending — but they may suffer greatly getting there!”
