Courtland MacCarrick has been beaten within an inch of his life and is bleeding from every limb of his huge body. But a beautiful angel has dragged him out of his river tomb and is nursing him to health.
Annalia's brother has been captured by a ruthless general, and she can save him only one way. Annalia is willing to marry the general in order to save her brother's life. It's very hard for her to do, but she asks Court for his help.
IF YOU DARE introduces us to two unique, strong and passionate people. Court is plagued by a curse that prevents him from having a wife and family of his own. When he meets Annalia, this rugged Highlander, this mercenary and killer, this gentle warrior is brought to his knees by love. He wants to be a wee bit gentler with her, but he "canna" seem to. Annalia is spirited, feisty and falls in love with Court's every look, every touch, every word coming from this giant of a man.
Ms. Cole has truly outdone herself. She's sensational and has written a passionate, action-packed romance sure to satisfy every heart. Combined with a battle of wits, a test of wills, some incredible one-liners and unforgettable love scenes, it's one great story. I urge you to read IF YOU DARE, the first novel in the thrilling new MacCarrick Brother series featuring three fierce Scottish brothers. You just "canna" miss it. Your heart will be "verra, verra" glad. It overwhelmed me. BRAVA!
Book Summary
Can he exact revenge?
High in the Pyrenees, a band of mercenaries led by Courtland MacCarrick wages war for General Reynaldo Pascal. When Court turns on the evil general, Pascal orders him killed but Court narrowly escapes and exacts revenge by kidnapping Pascal’s exquisite Castilian fiancée.
Can she deny her passion?
Lady Annalía Tristán Llorente despises her towering, barbaric captor almost as much as she does Pascal. Her inexplicable attraction to the Highlander only fuels her fury. But nothing will stop her from returning to Pascal— for if she doesn’t wed him, she signs her brother’s death warrant, as well as her own.
If they survive, can there be love between them?
From the moment Court discovers that Anna’s prim façade masks a fiery, brave lass, his heart’s ensnared, and he dares to defy the curse that has shadowed his life—to walk with death or walk alone. But Pascal vows that he’ll hunt the two, never stopping until he’s destroyed them both. . . .
