Tales of the Archer — Stacy Bennett

It's a Fire Night, a time for celebration, and young Reid Tarhill has a plan to make Maura, the chieftain's daughter, notice him. As the black sheep of his family, Reid isn't surprised his father is against the match. But when Old Tarhill throws in with a rival clan's suitor, it's not just about Reid anymore. The fate of Bear Clan hangs in the balance. The Seal Clan heir would be a fitting match for a woman of Maura's status. If Gilland Fynan succeeds in winning her affection, their marriage would unite the two clans into one -- under Fynan's banner. Amid the weight of his clan's expectations and despite his father's attempts at sabotage, Reid charms Maura with tales of love and honor deepening the friendship they'd had as children. When sickness, a dangerous rogue, and a damning revelation threaten everything Reid cherishes, it will take more than a good heart and a handful of stories to keep his clan and his beloved Maura safe.
