Book Description
The Highlander's Bride introduces the McTiernay brothers and tells of the love story between Conor and Laurel, the McTiernay laird and his half-Scottish wife.
Bound by Duty
Highland laird Conor McTiernay had always dreamed of an enduring love. But the reality of women who desired him only for his title and lands made him swear off marriage forever.
That is until he first set eyes on the Englishwoman his men found hiding in the forest. Beneath the dirt and grime it was clear Laurel Cordell was beautiful. But would she prove to be yet another beguiling seductress or had Conor finally found the one woman who could lay claim to his heart?
Drawn by Desire
Laurel trusted that the Scottish chieftain would keep her safe from the cruel laird from whom she had escaped. Looking deep into Conor's silver eyes she saw only his calculating warrior ways but his quick arousal to passion. But before they can explore the growing desire between them, their newfound love is threatened by secrets from her past...

ARMCHAIR INTERVIEWS - NINE OUT OF TEN STARS - Reviewer Comments: "Fans of Julie Garwood will surely love this captivating adventure introducing Laird Conor McTiernay whose heart is stolen the moment he lays eyes on Laurel Cordell. The half English, half Scottish beauty is finally getting her chance to leave England and all of its isolation to journey to the home of her maternal grandfather; a Scottish Laird. On the way to her grandfather’s lands, she is captured and beaten by the evil Douglass clan and all of her brother’s men, her escort, are killed. She just manages to escape and happens, quite eventfully, upon Conor and his brothers, who take her with them to their home in the highlands. Emotions run hot; Conor and Laurel are drawn to each other immediately and tempers flare a time or two but, always, there is passion and a desire to stay together. Conor is a true alpha-male in every sense, while Laurel is independent and intelligent; a perfect foil for the hero. Read the full review.
