In the glorious Scottish Highlands of Robert the Bruce, an independent young widow faces a difficult challenge: can she help an unlikely leader bring honor and prosperity back to their clan ~ without losing her own cautious heart?
I. Will. Never. Marry. Again.
Ailig MacLeod returns to Assynt Castle with a heavy task. As penance for his oldest son's attempted treachery against the king, Ailig's father must step down as chief of the clan ~ and Ailig is to take his place. There are elders to appease, a competing clan to ward off, and the castle itself is in shambles. Ailig enlists the beautiful widow Morainn MacRailt to help him pull the keep back together, and her counsel soon becomes as invaluable to him as her presence is intoxicating. Only the two of them, working together, can save the clan from being set to fire and sword. But their partnership reawakens feelings in Morainn she swore she'd never hold again...
Daring the Highlander is the sequel to my May, 2004 book, Charming the Shrew, though it's not necessary to read Shrew first.

Charming the Shrew is my second medieval romance and the prequel to Daring the Highlander. Set in the wintry Highlands of Scotland, Tayg Munro is a warrior in King Robert the Bruce's army and a charmer. He disguises himself as a (not very good) bard in order to deliver a message from the king to a recalcitrant chief.
Catriona MacLeod is a shrew fleeing a marriage she doesn't want and five brothers who want to run her life. Thrown together by circumstance, foul weather, and a plot against the king, sparks fly between them and the two dig themselves into deeper and deeper trouble until they discover that only by trusting each other and working together can they survive the harsh climate, her hoard of brothers and the man who seeks harm to the king. And of course they fall in love!
