Product Description

Eric Murray was the youngest of his brothers, determined to gain his rightful inheritance after thirteen years of bitter dispute with his father's family. Starting out alone to confront his tight-fisted kinsmen, he encountered a chestnut-haired beauty set upon by thieves. When she begged for Eric's protection for herself and her infant nephew, Eric promised to deliver them to the safety of her family. Bethia Drummond desperately tried to ignore her attraction to the azure-eyed stranger. Still, Eric Murray was Bethia's only hope of escaping her ruthless kin who planned to kill her and her orphaned nephew, and claim their inherited land. Then Bethia learned that Eric, too, was seeking land and coin from his own kin - her family's closest allies. How could she love a man she might one day be forced to stand against him? And yet she could not ignore what her troubled heart knew - that this proud knight had more than inspired her deepest passions he had become her very destiny.

Customer Reviews

A heartwarming book
It was nice to read a book where the hero isn't the biggest and baddest man in the world nor is the heroine the prettiest woman that had ever walked the earth. Eric, the hero, is trying to regain his birth right, and meets, beds, and marries (in that order and during a short period of time) Bethia. She comes from a family that any good social worker or family therapist would love to work with. She also is being hunted by a madman for thwarting his plan to seize a castle. It was also fun to see characters from Ms. Howell's other books, though you will enjoy this book without reading the previous two.

Gets better and better
Everytime Ms.Howell's books come out I rush to my store to get the newest copy. I know that I am spending my money on a book that I'll be pleased with.Too many times I have been upset with the quality of the books that I read. Ms.Howell writes the kind that once you start you can't put it down.This is one of my "keepers".

sweet tender story
this is the third book in the highland series, and is the story of eric and bethia. this is a sweet endearing story as these are two people lost in the world and through chance they meet each other and endup married. they both come to terms with their issues in life because of each other and eventually fall in love.

great series, great characters although reading the book out of order does have me confused slightly as to who everybody is etc.
