Bridget
de Wolfe is the great niece of Penelope de Wolfe and has
also taken up a knight's life. When she sees her brother slain on the
battlefield in front of her, she vows vengeance.
The opportunity to avenge him comes far sooner than anticipated when she becomes betrothed to the very man who killed him, Aidan MacAlister.
Aidan has assumed the role of parent to his two younger siblings after his parents' deaths. Robert the Bruce has insists he marry an English noble to secure the Scottish English alliance. His acquiescence affords him land and a home for his family. Only his new wife is unlike any woman he's ever met...and she's already tried to kill him.
A wonderful addition to the World of de Wolfe Pack. With words if wisdom from an important aunt.
Lots of emotion and a great strong heroine. Our sexy hero is more than a match for his stubborn wife.
I loved every page.

THE
HIGHLANDER’S CHALLENGE EXCERPT:
Bridget
leaned over his sleeping form. His lips were thinned to a narrow line and his
face relaxed. He looked young. The thought surprised her as the boar of a man
appeared anything but young when he made his orders and flexed his overtly rude
show of hospitality.
Even
the scar marring his eyebrow didn't seem as fierce.
She
closed her eyes, not only to blot out his face, but to gently court the sleep
she knew she must avoid.
God,
but she was tired.
The
man could drink, but she'd be damned if she let him consume more than she did.
It was a foolish challenge, of course. But then, she'd always been one for
foolish challenges.
Even
against the man she intended to kill.
She
opened her eyes and found him unmoved from where she last gazed upon him. The
candlelight washed over his naked torso, shadowing lines of muscles strong
enough to remain in the relaxed state of his sleep. A light sprinkling of hair
showed on his chest and trailed from his navel to beneath his belted hose.
Her
cheeks warmed in spite of herself. She'd seen bare-chested men most of her
life. Certainly, once she was allowed to train with men, she saw it nearly
every day. Why, then, was she hot with embarrassment to be looking upon him?
Her
head sloshed with wine-laden thoughts.
Deciding
to keep up with his wine consumption had seemed so much less foolish at the
time. She thought herself stronger than this.
It
had been an important lesson to learn, and she hoped it wouldn't fade with the
effects of the wine.
Wasting time.
She
shook her head at herself. She was wasting time. The sooner she killed
him, the sooner this would all be done.
She
looked down at his face once more and let the memory of that day on the
battlefield of her home bloom to life in her mind. When Richard, her dear and
noble brother, had fallen to his knees, helpless and in defeat, and the blade
had slipped from his hands. He'd been cut down like an animal, butchered with
an axe.
Tears
burned in her eyes and she welcomed them. She reached in the long pocket of her
chemise and withdrew the dagger. The hilt was warm with the heat of her body
and the sharp point winked with the candlelight.
One
slash across the throat, a hard, deep gouge. She'd done it in battle before. It
was not difficult.
She
leaned over him and set the dagger to his throat. The reflection of the
candlelight on the blade shifted rhythmically, in time with the steady beat of
his pulse.
Richard.
She
squeezed the hilt in her hand.
Do it.
She
clenched her teeth and willed her hand to press down and pull.
