The Highlander's Defiant Bride — Fiona Grant

Rhona Maclean dreams of being swept off her feet by a highlands hero: a man who is handsome, strong and brave and loves her more than life itself. Those dreams collapse into ashes when she is stolen from her home one dark night and delivered into the hands of a warrior from a rival clan.Calum Stewart has long planned his revenge on the Macleans for the murder of his beloved sister and his brother, and he cares not for the feelings of one frightened lass. Rhona finds herself in the hands of people who loved Flora and Jaime Stewart—and who hate her with a passion. Warfare breaks out between the Macleans and the Stewarts and other clans take sides, with feelings running high. The King has to intervene, and Rhona becomes a pawn in Highland politics. She is forced to wed Calum Stewart, her cold and vengeful captor. Handsome and strong he might be, but the hero of her dreams he is not.Lonely, heartbroken and baited at every turn by Calum's bereaved mother Moira, Rhona settles into her new life, bleakly certain that things could not be worse. Her new husband does not mistreat her, but nor does he love her. Her fate seems sealed. But in the Highlands, tempers run hot, passions ignite and Fate has a way of stepping in…
