Alone and penniless, will she gamble on a stranger’s proposal?Callum Ross is a quiet, brooding man, but when his temper is stoked or his heart given, he is unstoppable. Resigned to his lonely existence as Laird of Raigmoor Castle, he is awestruck when he meets beautiful Tara Hennaut on the road to Inverness. He hopes that coming to her aid will buy him some notice from the well-bred young woman. Unfortunately, she is English and barely notices him in a throng of eager admirers. When Callum’s hopeless infatuation leads him to throw his heart at Tara’s feet, he is met with rejection and bitter humiliation. However, when an abrupt change of fortune leaves Tara at his mercy, Callum can take what he wants. A handful of coin buys him a bride, but as they say…be careful what you wish for.Sheltered Tara Hennaut has travelled to Scotland with her uncle to claim his inheritance and rescue them from debt and ruin. She is struck by Callum’s strong, protective demeanour and fine grey eyes but unsettled by his rough Scots ways. Unused to the attention of men, she shrinks from his open admiration. But when she falls from grace, there is only one means of redemption – marriage to a gruff Scot whose lust for her might be more than Tara can handle. Bought By The Highlander is a forced-marriage Highland romance. Submit to the wild glens of Inverness and Loch Ness, where a man takes what he wants and fights to hang onto it – be it love, land or livestock. Here, thieves and scoundrels roam, and innocence is fleeting and must be bargained away for comfort and protection. Bought By The Highlander is Book Two in the Seductive Scots Series but can be read as a stand-alone novel.
