ACROSS A DARK HIGHLAND SHORE, Book #2
1447. Winter has wrapped its icy fingers around the Highlands. The MacKinnon clan is in chaos. Weakened by battle losses, treachery, and a lack of leadership, a Hogmanay celebration turns ugly as clan members decide to burn a witch at the stake—one of their very own, Isobel MacKinnon, a castle servant with the Sight. As flame is about to be touched to the kindling at her feet, five warriors appear in the snowy night, rescuing Isobel from a fiery death. But the mysterious leader of the warriors, a fierce Highlander called The Black Wolf, has saved his enemy’s life for selfish reasons. He needs a witch.
Isobel has seen the brutal and haunted Highland warrior in her dreams and now he stands before her—taller and stronger and more terrifying than any man she’s ever laid eyes on. Leith Maclean—enemy to the MacKinnon clan—is flesh and blood, a proud warrior whose ancestors battled Vikings.
The amber-eyed warrior is determined that Isobel shall divine his future and use her gift of Sight to help him win the hand of the woman he loves, his future battles, and peace with the Campbell clan.
But Leith Maclean is bewitched by the blonde beauty who emerges from peasant rags and surprised by the intense feelings she inspires in him. As Isobel attempts to aid an enemy clan, she cannot resist wanting to heal Leith’s wounded heart and finds herself yielding to her handsome enemy’s touch.
Her sensual surrender awakens in Leith a love as mighty and relentless as his ambitions, and he will not claim true victory until he has won the affections of the proud little witch who now commands his heart.

Maybe This Time ✔️
Every part of me was on fire. It felt like I was dying with every movement Willow made on top of me, and it felt like she was bringing me back to life with each kiss she planted on my skin with her sweet lips. Her nails dig into my chest, and she starts bouncing faster, her hair loosening and her arms curl around my neck. "Not too fast, please. Fuck." I moan against her skin. "I can't take it." I breathe. "I can't- slower." I'm whispering and whimpering and gasping into her skin, and Willow slows down, resorting to slow hips rolls and bounces. The orgasm rips through me like a tidal wave. I'm gasping and moaning and Willow collapses on top of me, her chest heaving up and down. I run a shaky hand up and down her back, staring up at the ceiling as I try to catch my breath. ------------------------------------------------------ Willow Zommer and Ennis Weston were childhood friends.

The Passion of London [Highlander's Love #1]
HIGHEST RANKING #6 in HISTORICAL FICTION! --- For all her life, Lady Evie Verrick had been regaled of tales of the Highlands from her Highland born and bred mother. She had grown up dreaming of chivalrous knights, sword-fighting, horse back riding. Tales of kin and family, loyalty and the warmth of a home. But being brought up in a traditional English household with a traditional father, her mother was the closest thing to the Highlands she could get. And when her mother died of pneumonia before her coming out, left to her father's care, Evie wants now, more then ever, to see the promised lands that she grew up with. --- Connor Gilroy had served as the first in command to the MacKenzie clan for as long as he could remember. He owed his loyalty to his best friend and brother in arms, Hammond MacKenzie, who had saved him from being skinned alive by English soldiers years ago, before the truce was signed between the two lands. Having no love lost for the country, Hammond would be the only person who could ever convince Connor to step foot back into English lands. His chief had recently received news on the death of the aunt he has never met, but Hammond was a man of his word, and he had promised his father he would care for all kin, regardless of who they were. But Connor never would've imagined that the cousin of his best friend would be a spirit of the flames. The way Evie took on life and all of its problems with a passion that ignited a hearth, would perhaps be the first time someone ever ignited more then just passion and desire within him.Complete
