New York Times bestselling author Julie Garwood has captured the
hearts of millions of listeners worldwide with timeless tales of love
and soaring adventure. Now, returning to the enchanting world of her
classic love story The Bride, she brings to glorious life the passion,
intrigue, and rivalry of medieval Scotland....
Resigned to an arranged marriage to a highland laird she has never met,
Lady Brenna journeys from England to Scotland certain she will suffer a
loveless marriage. But en route to her betrothed, a rival band of Werce,
painted warriors intercept her caravan and demand that she marry their
leader--the handsome, quick-tempered laird Connor MacAlister, the same
man she'd repeatedly proposed to as a child while he'd been a visitor to
her father's castle. Though Brenna scarcely remembers the secret
missives she'd sent to MacAlister declaring her love, she has never
forgotten the tall visitor's dazzling, unexpected smile.
Now older and wiser, Brenna harbors no illusions that Connor is in love
with her--indeed, after a hasty forest wedding, Connor assures her she
can return home once she has borne him a son. Lady Brenna has no idea
that her capture is merely the first act of vengeance against her
betrothed, Connor's sworn enemy. Determined to be happy, Brenna soon
endears herself to most of the MacAlister clan, despite--or perhaps
because of--her uncanny knack for getting into trouble. And although she
comes to adore her brave, superstitious, gentle husband, she has no clue
that Connor lives for the moments she whispers I love you...words she
never meant him to hear. But, as she sets out to win the heart of the
brave chieftain, a legacy of revenge ensnares Brenna in a furious clan
war--and only her faith in her gallant husband can save her....
