"Никаких других горцев" (Полная версия)
Шотландские высокогорья, 1334 год. Леди Джоан Армстронг Фрейзер когда-то была избалованной дочерью лэра. Но брак с грубияном изменил ее жизнь. Когда он отвергает ее, у нее остается только ее сообразительность и красота, чтобы защитить себя и своего ребенка от хаоса ее прежнего дома. Ей придется найти другого мужа - мужчину, сила которого не только оружие против слабых, но и мужчину, которому она может доверять... если такой мужчина вообще существует. Сэр Малкольм Маккенна знает леди Джоан с детства, она была избалованной принцессой, опасной так же, как и прекрасной. Но когда она выступает в его защиту против ложного обвинения, он обнаруживает сильный характер, которого не ожидал, и привлекательность, которую он жаждет исследовать.
The Scottish Highlands, A.D. 1330. Lady Joan Fraser, only daughter of renowned rebel Laird James Fraser, now finds herself everything but a pampered lady of leisure. Abandoned by her brutish husband, she knows all too well only her cunning and her docile beauty will suffice to keep her and their young son out of the hands of the many would-be heirs angry with the dissolution of his household. Finding it impossible to hand lost pride begrudgingly, Joan knows that she must once again make room for a new partner to best face the growing complications of her own nomadic daisy-chain life. Actuated by the petty resentment coursing through the Thorny Glen after a startling commotion that nearly saw her husband flayed alive, gallant and notorious guardians knight Malcolm McKenny sees Joan's plight as an opportunity to untie the—not so straightforward—tension that caused their previous encounters to always degenerate into violent word频ry, and an immediate errand to go see the imperious woman. With so much at stake, how far might the clever lady go to attract Malcolm's favor? Intricate schemes, suspense, powerful characters, and a romance that opens the castles of Scotland's most torrid Highland island to daring, strong, silent lovers, wait to be unraveled in Adrienne Bassó's spellbinding reinterpretation of Walter Scott's classic tale of forbidden love. "An instant and surprising awakening into a full-blown love story" (Booklist).
Highlander, Scotland 1320 AD. A gentle woman on the verge of giving up on love when one enters her life, bringing both love and violence . . .

Описание книги от Adrienne Basso
Scottish Highlands, 1334. Lady Joan Armstrong Fraser was once the indulged and pampered daughter of a laird. But marriage to a brute changed her. When he sets her aside, she has only her wits and her beauty to protect herself and her child from the chaos of her former home. She will have to find another husband – a man whose strength is more than a weapon against the weak, a man she can trust…if such a man even breathes. Sir Malcolm McKenna has known Lady Joan since her childhood, a spoiled princess as dangerous as she is lovely. But when she steps forward to protect him against a false accusation, he discovers a character stronger than he guessed – and an attraction he yearns to explore.
