Enemies become lovers in a divided Scotland in this “marvelous tale” of history and passion (Diana Gabaldon). From birth, Catriona Campbell and Alasdair Og MacDonald are enemies—for he is the second son of her clan’s most powerful foe. Yet from the moment they meet, they know they will lie in each other’s arms someday. Their love, though centuries forbidden, comes at the most dangerous of times, as they become pawns of war . . . and of history. For rebellion has been stirring, and under the orders of King William III, a bloody price will be paid at Glencoe . . . This “stirring” love story set against the backdrop of a notorious massacre is “well worth a Highland journey” (Kirkus Reviews). “Roberson’s world of 17th-century Scotland is atmospherically real.” —Publishers Weekly
Elayne MacNally knew one thing for certain: Her reputation as the willful harpy of the highlands was well earned. As the spoiled daughter of the successful Laird MacNally, Elayne got whatever she wanted, until the man she thought she would wed rejected her. Dejected and reconsidering her lot in life, her father comes up with an opportunity that could change the course of her life and perhaps her reputation as well. Declan MacCollough also knew one thing for certain: He did not want to follow in his father's footsteps as Laird of the reputed "Beast Clan." Following his father's death, Declan had a lot of work ahead of him to reclaim any sense of respect for his people. Families had fled; fathers would not permit their daughters to wed into the clan. Declan wanted, more than anything, to recreate his clan into one deserving of service to the King. The first step Declan must take is to find a wife with enough backbone to help him tame his clan, help it grow, and gain back respect. Learning of Elayne and her reputation, Declan offers to wed the lass - an arranged marriage of sorts. With no other choices open to her, Elayne decides that the Laird of the Beast Clan is her best, if only, option. What happens when she arrives is a strange and passionate meeting of the minds between herself and Declan. Playing on each other's strengths, they maneuver around those who attempt to prevent the marriage as a play for power. However, Declan's past affiliations with the King are not welcome by all, and the challenges to their marriage become the least of their worries. Can Declan and Elayne trust each other enough to face the threats to the MacCollough clan and their very lives?

A silver-eyed beauty born to a powerful laird, she's accustomed to getting everything she wants, no matter what. When the man she plans to marry rejects her, her father intervenes and forces her to chart a new course in life. But can she find happiness and her heart's desire on this new path? Handsome and powerful Declan MacCollough has no desire to follow in his father's footsteps as the Laird of the ill-reputed "Beast Clan." After his father's untimely death, he knows he must reclaim the respect his clan has lost and establish his presence. But first, he must find a wife strong enough to face the challenges he knows are coming. Will this willful yet strikingly beautiful woman claim his clan and his heart? Elayne is the perfect companion for Declan's plan. When they agree to marry, the rules are simple. What's not so simple is the obstacles they encounter or the fact that their desire for each other grows by the minute. Thrown together by circumstance, they surprise each other by finding a once-in-a-lifetime love. While many of the MacColloughs, and even her own family, mistrust Elayne, Declan doesn't care that she has a reputation or is disliked by nearly everyone she meets. His passion for Elayne is undeniable, something that surprises Elayne to the depths of her soul. Naysayers do everything within their power to thwart the couple. However, the more challenging their desperate quest, the more they learn to rely on each other. Life together seems to fall into place, until vengeance rears its ugly head and threatens everything they've built. Faced with countless threats and devious plots to keep them from establishing their clan and their new-found love, will their unlikely passionate bond prove strong enough?

Discover untold secrets with this extraordinary memoir of drama and tragedy by Anne Glenconner—a close member of the royal circle and lady-in-waiting to Princess Margaret. Anne Glenconner has been at the center of the royal circle from childhood, when she met and befriended the future Queen Elizabeth II and her sister, the Princess Margaret. Though the firstborn child of the 5th Earl of Leicester, who controlled one of the largest estates in England, as a daughter she was deemed "the greatest disappointment" and unable to inherit. Since then she has needed all her resilience to survive court life with her sense of humor intact. A unique witness to landmark moments in royal history, Maid of Honor at Queen Elizabeth's coronation, and a lady in waiting to Princess Margaret until her death in 2002, Anne's life has encompassed extraordinary drama and tragedy. In Lady in Waiting, she will share many intimate royal stories from her time as Princess Margaret's closest confidante as well as her own battle for survival: her broken-off first engagement on the basis of her "mad blood"; her 54-year marriage to the volatile, unfaithful Colin Tennant, Lord Glenconner, who left his fortune to a former servant; the death in adulthood of two of her sons; a third son she nursed back from a six-month coma following a horrific motorcycle accident. Through it all, Anne has carried on, traveling the world with the royal family, including visiting the White House, and developing the Caribbean island of Mustique as a safe harbor for the rich and famous-hosting Mick Jagger, David Bowie, Raquel Welch, and many other politicians, aristocrats, and celebrities. With unprecedented insight into the royal family, Lady in Waiting is a witty, candid, dramatic, at times heart-breaking personal story capturing life in a golden cage for a woman with no inheritance.
