When
tough Scot warrior Connor MacKenzie rides into the barbaric lands of the Picts
on a mission for his king, he never expects to be captivated by a beautiful
Pictish widow. Drawn under her spell, yet unaware of her true identity, he
risks everything for one passionate night in her arms.
Aila,
princess of Pictland, swore long ago she would do anything within her power to
help defeat the Vikings who invaded her land and murdered her husband. But after
meeting Connor, her frozen heart thaws and once again she imagines a future
filled with love and passion.
When
Connor delivers the message from his king, Aila becomes a pawn in a deadly game
of politics. Her heart belongs to Connor, but she must marry the prince of Dal
Riada – Connor’s half-brother. But the fates have other plans for the
star-crossed lovers as they fight their enemies and themselves to find true
love.
A Romantica® historical
erotic romance from Ellora’s Cave
Excerpt:
She
looked at him and he imagined he could see tension seeping from her. As though
his words reassured. He clawed through his mind for other such words.
“It
would never occur to me,” he said, “that you would ever intentionally cause
distress by word or action.”
“I
certainly would never wish to cause you any distress, Connor.” And then she
smiled, a small, tentative smile as though unsure of his reaction.
His
chest tightened, the pain jagged yet not wholly unpleasant. Strange. And as he
focused on the slight tremble of her lower lip, raw protectiveness seared
through him, a primitive urge to pull her close and claim her as his own to the
world.
Unnerved
by the power of the image, the suddenness of its overwhelming demand, his first
reaction was to recoil. But instead he remained rooted to the spot, unable to
tear his gaze from her, unable to sever the tenuous connection that shimmered,
beyond mortal sight, in the air between them.
The
fanciful notion shattered the moment of paralysis, but not the sense of
protectiveness that, if anything, gathered momentum by the second. And although
a distant sliver of sanity urged caution, he held out his hand.
With
only a moment’s hesitation Aila placed her hand in his, and he curled his
fingers around her. Such a small gesture. Yet somehow, incomprehensibly,
significant.
He
picked up her abandoned circlet and they began the long walk back to Ce-eviot.
