Stumbling upon an English Derbyshire estate owned by Henry Delacourt, they are given refuge by the kind family, but not before Fraser is hit over the head and forced to the cellar. Martha Wantage surprisingly gets a glimpse of what this Scot has beneath his kilt. Martha has been caring for Mr. Delacourt's son Harry and daughter Rosie since the death of their mother. Choosing to protect both men from being turned over as traitors, they care for the Scots and nurse Jack back to health.

Still baring deep scars suffered during a horrendous attack by other Scots and losing her family, Martha bestows a kiss on Fraser while thinking him unconscious. She declares her hate for him and he secretly vows revenge. The plain "crabbit" woman is not what this valiant Scot wants, but the more they are together the more he sees beyond the scars and homeliness. The passion and fire that develops from the chaste kiss becomes a fiery longing not forgotten. Neither can deny the hot bodily responses felt between them. Falling in love with the gorgeous specimen of a warrior is beyond Martha's dreams. But, is it only the physical enjoyment that Fraser truly feels for this enemy?

A KISS FOR A HIGHLANDER is Book one in the Georgian Rebel Series. There is an abundance of history of the violence between England and Scotland while still finding love and passion between these two enemies. I loved the concept of a lonely and damaged woman fulfilling the dreams she believed were out of her reach and a man able to love a woman for the person she is and not appearance only. I did have to keep my mind focused to keep up with the trail of historical events. A KISS FOR A HIGHLANDER is a good story, well written, with a good refreshing plot.
