Lisa BerneтАЩs Penhallow Dynasty series continues as a Highlander marries against his willтАФand discovers he may have found the perfect bride.
Alasdair Penhallow, laird of his clan and master of Castle Tadgh, is forced to end his carefree bachelorhood, thanks to an ancient decree that requires him to marry. But AlasdairтАЩs search for a biddable wife comes to a screeching halt when Fate serves up Fiona Douglass. Prickly as a thistle, Fiona challenges him at every turn, rendering herself surprisingly irresistible. Her love would be a prize indeed . . . if Alasdair could accept it.
Fiona gave her heart once, and doesnтАЩt plan to repeat that folly. Yet she finds herself drawn to AlasdairтАЩs intelligence and strength, and the passion he incites goes well beyond her expectations for whatтАЩs only a marriage of expedience. Despite herself, sheтАЩs falling in love with her husband.
But thereтАЩs a high wall between themтАФand FionaтАЩs not sure it can ever be torn down.
