A Highland warrior…an English lady…and a ghost… Lady Marguerite Gracewell has not long lived in the wilds of Scotland, but she already loves her new home and is growing accustomed to life without her newly-married brother Henry. Visions of her own future, preoccupy her and most of them are bright with happiness. She is madly in love with a handsome man, though he has recently joined the army and left her for a season. A Highlander Doing His Duty Lord Douglas is the son of the earl of Duncliffe, and has hoped his whole life to gain the favor and admiration of his distant, cold father. His sojourn with the army has not seemed to draw them closer, and an ambush threatens to rip away his chance at reconciliation for good. A chance encounter—his return from the dead, it seems—changes his opinions entirely, but there is more to his life than his dreams of gaining his father’s approval. After all, beautiful Lady Marguerite is his true love, and she’s waiting for him…his light in the darkness. A Ghostly Form of Madness The lady has much to fear it seems, as her father appears to be descending into madness and has promised her to a vile man staunchly loyal to the Jacobite cause. She simply cannot wed him, though he tries to tarnish her reputation so that she has no choice. Her handsome Douglas must save the day, but in their escape, her reputation is once again at stake. Her father begins to see visions of a ghost in his home, and Marguerite must calm the frightened inhabitants of Estmoor. When the ghost turns violent, it’s up to her to save them all—and Douglas—before it’s too late…but how can a ghost be the ruin of all she holds dear? Is there more to the apparition than just a gray presence walking the estate—and what did the terrified servant girl actually see that fateful evening? Can the lovers find a way to be together forever at last—or is their union to be short-lived, broken by their duties and her father's will? less

A dutiful daughter…a Highland warrior…and a madman desperate for a rich bride… Claudine Epsworth, shy but impulsive, is the daughter of the earl of Estridge, and well knows her place and duty as bidden by her father. Her brother Reid is serving in the military, and though she misses him, she must follow her father’s instructions though he seems a trifle less in touch with reality than usual. Now he has hinted that she is to be promised in marriage to a man she barely knows, though his looks are not undesirable. First, she is sent to Scotland, her father saying it is for her protection, as war threatens on the not-so-distant horizon. Highland Warrior Arrives Handsome and brave Brogan McRae, leader of the clan McRae, is visiting the home of Douglas and Marguerite, his neighbors and allies, at Duncliffe Manor. They have business to discuss, namely the threat of battle on their adjoining properties. He never intended to fall in love with their new houseguest instantly. Putting aside his feelings, for he’ll never be hurt that way again, he vows instead to protect her from a sense of danger he feels when another new houseguest arrives. An Unexpected Threat A cruel man named Dunstan South, her father’s choice as her husband, has made the daring move of following pretty Claudine to Scotland, ostensibly for her protection. A feeling of unease at his presence is quashed to some degree, but Claudine cannot shake it completely. When his abusive and rude nature is finally exposed for all to see, she knows that she cannot marry him, but can she really go against the wishes of her father? After all, a seer has told her to follow her heart, and obviously that means she cannot choose South…right? Fighting for Love After an unexpected illness, Claudine learns that she must run away, and soon, as Dunstan has threatened to carry her off into a forced, miserable marriage. She takes almost nothing with her, but when she’s almost caught, an unexpected savior arrives in the nick of time. Brogan will accompany her to her brother’s station, but twists and turns along the way set in motion a series of events that will change their lives forever! Can Claudine defy the hinted decree of her father—shirking her family duty—and follow her heart instead of her head when it comes to choosing her destiny? Or will she choose duty and risk a miserable marriage to an abusive, cruel man? Will Brogan find a way to help Claudine escape a loveless, violent marriage—regardless of whether it leads her to himself—or is the past that haunts him still doomed to repeat itself?

For Prudence Newhurst, a new life has just begun; one that she never before could have thought possible. No longer a lady’s maid to Lady Claudine, she finds herself the proud owner of a cottage and an open door ahead of her regarding her life. Whatever she chooses to do, it is her own choice at last, and no one can make it for her. However, when a handsome stranger literally appears at her front door, her whole life is changed in an instant, as he bears a wounded man who needs her healing skills. Prudence’s life will never be the same, but she could never have dreamed that her skill would take her so far from the home she cherishes. Now she’s called upon to help the Cause, but even as she nurses to health the wounded and finds herself drawing closer to a man she never asked for, the fighting draws ever nearer. She wonders if there is an end in sight…and whether they will live to see it. An Earl Without a Plan Alexander Lachlann, heading toward battle with his fellow Jacobite uprisers, is suddenly caught off guard when he meets a stunning beauty in a tiny Highland cottage. The woman, he assumes the widow of a soldier, might not have been Scot, but he soon realizes that she shares many of the same passions he holds dear, though her relation to the Cause is as yet undetermined beyond her ability to heal its wounded. When circumstances force him to abduct the pretty healer and run for their lives, Alexander’s view of the Cause changes almost overnight. He goes from fiercely loyal, dedicated to his dying breath in honor of his late father, to doubting his devotion. Now he’s faced with a hard decision—leave the woman he’s coming to cherish and fight another man’s war, or stay with her and lose everything his father worked for in life? Violence Dogs Their Steps Before the two can decide on their future, violence erupts all around them. Alexander is tasked with marching to Culloden, in what appears to be a final stand for the brave Jacobites, and Prudence faces a threat of a different nature. Violent men are everywhere, perpetuating violence on everyone, and she realizes that all she’s ever loved is in immediate danger… Will Prudence find a way to escape the violence and just make it home to whatever is left of her lovely cottage—or will violence end her life? Can she dare to dream that she might one day have a future with the man who laughed at her former status? Should Alexander deny his birthright and cling to the woman he realizes has captured his heart, or should his loyalty to the Cause, his brothers in arms, come first? Does their love stand a chance when faced with such ferocious odds—or should they give up and simply hope for the best in the short time they have together?
