They were torn between pride and passion. . . It was a boastful wager, a bold flirtation meant to win a proposal from the most eligible officer in His Majesty's Royal Dragoons. How was the spoiled and pampered Catherine Augustine Ashbrooke to know the handsome stranger with the brooding midnight eyes would see through her plot and make her the pawn in a dangerous game of his own? United by a reckless game of chance. . . Alexander Cameron may have won the highborn English beauty in a duel, but not even the lure of long-forgotten desires could keep him from his meeting with destiny. He had no choice but to carry his reluctant bride off to the Highlands, to a world of ancient blood feuds and a brewing rebellion--a world where fiery passion and breathtaking courage would prove that even legendary warriors could lose their hearts. Bestselling, award-winning author Marsha Canham sweeps us into the turbulence and romance of Scotland's quest for freedom in a saga of two born enemies whose lives and destinies are irrevocably bound to the fate of an empire.… (más)

Oh, yum! On a par with Sharon Kay Penman and Sara Donati . . . (

This book breaks one of the cardinal rules of romance: it doesn't have an HEA—but that is because, like a paranormal, the story continues in the next book in the series with the same couple. Since I knew that before I got to the end, I was saved from giving into a screaming fit of frustration. So just be forewarned. There are lots of little history lessons sprinkled throughout this book. Luckily, I'm interested in that history, but I can see how others might get tired of it. This book has a few villains you love to hate, but the main conflict isn't exactly a person. It's 1745 in Scotland, and Bonnie Prince Charlie is about to start his attempt at the throne. Most people coming to this book now will undoubtedly be familiar with Outlander and will know how that whole fracas is going to go down, but what I love about this telling of this part of history is that this book was published several years before Outlander. Not only that, but it blends both real and fictional people and places together in a colorful tale full of intrigue, gruesome fight scenes, and of course an enemies-to-lovers, forced-marriage romance.

.99!

Usually I only post about freebies but this is in my top ten romance reads of all time. For only .99! Get this book. Read this book.

P.S. - This ends on a cliffhanger, nothing outrageous but our main couple's journey is far from over. Be prepared to want to buy the second in the series. (

I'm a big fan of the Outlander books and The Pride of Lions drew me in because it has some of the things that are in Outlander Jacobite History that centers around a great romance much like Outlander. (

To Peter, my mainstay, who puts up with the insomnia, the forgotten meals, the constant doubts, and biweekly threats to heave the typewriter throught the window . . . any window . . .

To Lesley, who says she has yet to see her name in any of my books, and to Suzie and Lindsay, whose mother insists they be twenty-one before they find out if they are in any of my books.

To the various friends and acquaintances who step through these pages, I hope they realize they do so out of affection.

And to my son, Jeffrey, who was just a little boy the last time I looked up from my desk and now . . . well, he calls me Shorty.

Catherine reined in her horse at the top of the forested knoll and waited, her eyes sparkling, her heart pounding within her breast.
