When a Laird Takes a Lady

Keats continues her Claimed by the Highlander 13th-century romance series (after Taming a Wild Scot) with a tale of peril and treachery. Isabail Grant is certain that Aiden MacCurren is responsible for her brother’s murder. Aiden was framed for stealing a valuable necklace, and he thinks Isabail knows who the real thieves are. He takes her prisoner and the battle of wills begins. Though Aiden views Isabail as his enemy, he reluctantly begins to admire not only her beauty, but her kindness toward others and her ability to captivate him. The magnetic attraction between Aiden and Isabail is intense and sensual, culminating in sizzling love scenes. Keats’s ability to recreate medieval Scotland adds authenticity to this novel, which is rich with multi-dimensional characters and an engaging story. (May)
