The Thane of Cawdor was a busy man, and his bastards grew as wild (and as numerous) as the thistles on the hills.
Lennox Duncan was allergic to following good advice. That was why he was caught in the middle of a torrential rain storm with the wife of a laird draped across his saddle, riding hard for the forests to lose the men chasing after them.
It should have been easy. A quick kidnapping, a hefty ransom, and then he wouldn't need to worry about who would be paying his gambling debts or keeping the eye of his elder brother from following him across the countryside.
"I'd expect nothing less of a bastard."
Being a chambermaid wasn't exactly how Charlotte Harper had imagined her life would turn out, but it was a living, and it kept food in the mouths of her younger siblings. But nothing could have prepared her for being kidnapped on a rainy night and thrown over the back of a horse-especially by the likes of Lennox Duncan.
Charlotte just wants to return to her boring life, but that means making an uneasy truce with a scoundrel who should be in the stocks, not in her bed.
Reader beware - "A Highland Contract" features lots of plaid, possible historical inaccuracies, a case of mistaken identity, an independent heroine, and a troubled, and troublesome, Highlander to sweep her away. There is no cheating to be found here, NO cliffhanger, and a Highland HEA is guaranteed.
Inside every history book is a heartthrob waiting to be discovered.
