It's Medieval Monday and I have the romantic duo Cathy & DD MacRae with an excerpt from their highlander novel, The Highlander's Viking Bride.
Calder stood stricken as if struck by a smithy’s hammer. He could do
nothing but stare at the lass in front of him who’d haunted his thoughts and dreams
for so long. To his amazement, she appeared even more beautiful than he
remembered. Grey. Her eyes were grey, not the dark blue he imagined. If he’d
been told she was an angel come to earth he would not have doubted the claim for
a moment.
Finn tugged on his sleeve and inclined his head toward the girl. Calder
retrieved enough of his wits to speak. “’Tis a pleasure to meet you, Lady Katja.”
Calder MacGerry, laird of an impoverished clan, has resolved to end the
bitter feud between the MacGerrys and Sinclairs. He jumps at Laird Sinclair’s offer of marriage
to his only daughter, Katja, to seal the agreement between their
clans—only to get more than he bargained for.
Katja’s chance to escape her father’s harsh treatment appears to be too good
to be true. But becoming Lady of a clan that despises her because she’s a Sinclair,
doesn’t make her life any easier. When the attacks turn deadly, she fights her way
out, making a dangerous passage to the Shetland Isles for refuge with her Viking
family.
Calder and Katja’s marriage, built on mistrust, rushes quickly into disaster.
As Calder seeks to repair the damage, Katja discovers not another enemy, but a
husband who pledges a new beginning.
