Betrothed to the Beast

Highland Laird Beiste MacGregor is a ruthlessly ambitious warrior with the viciousness of a beast. He has little interest in women beyond the bed chamber and even less interest for weak willed men. On order of the King, he reluctantly travels with his men to the Lowlands to formalize a Betrothal to a woman from a little known clan, the Dunbars. He cares naught who she is, as long as he secures the land required. He is not prepared for the troublesome but striking clan healer he meets on the way, who not only infuriates him but stirs something deep within his chest.

Amelia Dunbar is a clan healer and the illegitimate daughter of a Lowlands Laird. When she is not serving as a Lady's maid to her spoilt legitimate half sister, she is tirelessly attending to the sick in her clan. Amelia has plans to return to her mother's people in the Highlands and is about to embark on her journey, when she is waylaid by the arrival of fearsome warriors at the Keep. One in particular called the Beast, rouses her ire and sets her heart racing at the same time.
