When war looms and loyalty is everything, can a fierce Highland warrior open his heart to the one woman who defies his every rule?
Book Description
An elite fighting force unlike the world has ever seen.
Scouring the darkest corners of the Highlands and Western Isles, Robert the Bruce handpicks ten warriors to help him in his quest to free Scotland from English rule. They are the best of the best, chosen for their superior skills in each discipline of warfare. And to lead his secret Highland Guard, Bruce chooses the greatest warrior of all.
The ultimate Highland warlord and a swordsman without equal, Tor MacLeod has no intention of being drawn into Scotland’s war against the English. Dedicated to his clan, the fiercely independent chief answers to no one—especially not to his alluring new bride, bartered to him in a bid to secure his command of the deadliest fighting force the world has ever seen. The treacherous chit who made her way to Tor’s bed may have won his hand, but she will never claim his heart.
Although her husband’s reputation is as fierce as his manner, Christina Fraser believes that something softer hides beneath his brutal shell. But the only warmth she feels is in their bed, in glorious moments of white-hot desire that disappear with the dawn. When Christina’s reckless bid to win her husband’s love goes awry and thrusts them into danger on the eve of war, Tor will face his ultimate battle: to save his wife and to open his heart—before it’s too late.
My Thoughts
WOW! I think I am going to love this series. An elite group of warriors handpicked by Bruce to secure Scotland’s freedom? Count me in. Each man is chosen for a unique skill, and their bond forms a lethal brotherhood. In The Chief, we meet Tor and Christina—an intense pairing that begins with deception, yet blooms into something fierce and passionate. I wasn’t sure about their dynamic at first, but I’m glad I stuck with it. The slow-burn tension and Christina’s quiet strength truly won me over. I can’t wait to meet the rest of the Highland Guard.
