Elspeth Stewart was prepared to marry a man she knew she would never love. She was willing to do her duty to her family. Sacrifice herself for the greater good. After all he wasn't that bad... Little did she know that at the alter she would be swept away by "Mad Rob" and captured both body and soul. As Rob and Elspeth run from their pursuers she finds herself thrust into his world at an alarming speed. What she feels for him is anything but proper. How can one have feelings for a kidnapper? Thanks to her gift of Sight, Elspeth knows the hurt and sadness that lurks inside Rob. Unfortunately for her, this kidnapper seems to have touched something deep inside her. Elspeth can do nothing but find a way to extinguish the flames inside Rob's heart and make a place for her in their place.

Rob MacLaren was after revenge and if that revenge came by stealing his enemy's bride it was all the sweeter. For Rob nothing has ever been as important as his revenge. Revenge he would take for the death of his wife by Drummond's own hand. Kidnapping Elspeth was a challenge, an adventure that gave him something else to think about. It was just one small step toward thwarting Drummond and ensuring that the world would know just how truly evil the man really was. Kidnapping Elspeth should have been quite easy, nothing to it. However, what he did not count on was the way that Elspeth would work her way into his home, his family, and his long dead heart.

Simply sinful! SINS OF THE HIGHLANDER is full of troubles, adventures, and the blending of two hearts who thought love was beyond their reach. Elspeth was a wonderful heroine. She was everything that every woman longs to be; beautiful both inside and out. Watching this strong woman succumb to the passions of her heart was simply a delight. In one part of the book I was astounded by how much I felt for this young woman. She had never been taught the ways of woman and was struggling to come to terms with what she wanted from Rob. Finding her way past his dead wife and into his heart was a true challenge and one that most woman would not have had the patience to endure. As for Rob the only mad thing about him was his grief. Rob thought that he had lost the only thing that would ever matter to him. He truly struggled against the feelings he had for Elspeth which made his surrender all the greater in the end. Mason and Marlowe have woven a magical tale of Scottish adventure, Scottish feuding, and Scottish love that is sure to warm up even the coldest of nights!

Book Summary

ABDUCTION
Never had Elspeth Stewart imagined her wedding would be interrupted by a dark-haired stranger charging in on a black stallion, scooping her into his arms, and carrying her off across the wild Scottish highlands. Pressed against his hard chest and nestled between his strong thighs, she ought to have feared for her life. But her captor silenced all protests with a soul-searing kiss, giving Elspeth a glimpse of the pain behind his passion—a pain only she could ease.

OBSESSION
"Mad Rob" MacLaren thought stealing his rival's bride-to-be was the perfect revenge. But Rob never reckoned that this beautiful, innocent lass would awaken the part of him he thought dead and buried with his wife. Against all reason, he longed to introduce the luscious Elspeth to the pleasures of the flesh, to make her his, and only his, forever.

With two clans against them burning for battle, they must find a way to join together—body, breath, and soul. Or both will be made to pay for the... SINS OF THE HIGHLANDER
