The Douglas Legacy

The Douglas sisters, beauties all, are valuable pawns in their family's bitter struggle to control the Scottish Crown. But when their enemies strike, each Douglas lass will find she's been left to face them alone.

Claimed by a Highlander

Lady Sybil Douglas's fall from court favorite to royal enemy is swift after her brothers are charged with treason and flee Scotland. When a huge Highland warrior appears claiming they are bound by a marriage contract, she's desperate enough to ride off with him. She'll worry later about how to escape the wedding.

The last thing Rory MacKenzie needs is a pampered Lowlander wife. He traveled to Edinburgh in the hope of dissolving the ill-begotten marriage contract. But now that the Douglas men have abandoned his would-be bride, he's honor-bound to protect her.

Sybil and Rory fight scorching passion on their perilous journey to the MacKenzie castle, where murder and intrigue await. When everything is at risk, will they rely on each other and claim their unexpected love before it's too late?

A must read !!

Thank you for this awesome series of highlanders I hope the 3rd is as awesome as the first 2

Good Second Book!

4 1/2 Stars. This is a good second book. It was not as good as the first book. I liked that Lady Sybil is a strong female character and was very smart when it came to politics and avoiding problems. Rory was protective of Sybil. The story did get more entertaining as it got towards the end. Narrator did a good job.

Not Just a Romance..

Good story with some surprises along the way. Interesting characters and period accuracy made this a new favorite writer.
Complaint: I didn’t love the narrator’s heroine voice so much. She sounded somewhat dull & timid unlike someone who was extremely courageous and brave.

Well done intimate moments which I believe are required in most well written romances. The romantic/sex scenes don’t all have a lot of detail as I’d generally prefer, but still good. Looking forward to the next one!

Everything I look for.

Captures your interest right from the start. Has so many characters you love to hate. The hero is just what you’d like only with a temper problem. It’s a truly romantic love story, lots of lust & some steamy love scenes. The plot has lots of suspenseful twists & turns. Seems it was just as hard to find a good man in those days as it is now , except with no women’s rights at all.

Great book

Loved the history tidbits by the author at the end. A good 2nd book in the series. Loved the narrator.
