An exemplary model of a virile and sexy warrior, Laird Torin McLaren returns to a McLaren keep to find it engulfed in flames with bloody slaughter everywhere. The McBoyd clan is guilty for the carnage in a plot against the heir to the Scottish throne following the murder of the king. Torin takes Laird McCoy's daughter, Shannon, hostage to foil their further plot in ensuring their success. A bonny and saucy lass, Shannon challenges her captor at every turn, while at the same time she's mesmerized by Torin's magnificent body and astounding honor.

Abused by her father and treated as a lowly slave, Shannon is prepared to pull her weight in the Donan Tower while captive. Being well-treated, she soon succumbs to her puzzling attraction to Torin. Educating Shannon in fiery hot sex, Torin loses his heart as well. Shannon refuses marriage to Torin because of her bad McBoyd blood. Waiting for the judgment of the council to determine Shannon's fate as a McBoyd, Torin vows he will hang alongside Shannon. A death sentence is passed down by the Earl of Bothwell to all the McBoyd clan, with shadows of doubt for Shannon's survival.

TO CONQUER A HIGHLANDER is an exciting page turner. Shannon is a quick-witted woman instilled with high morals regardless of her scurrilous sire. As a virgin, Shannon is unaware of the sexual feelings her body is capable of, but once tasted, she's determined to experience a love full of warmth before she is hanged. Torin is a sexy Highlander determined that when he steals a woman, he intends to keep her.
