About this ebook
Scotland, 1751
The MacLeods are a strong clan, united with their fellow Scots to resist English rule. But when their leader, the Black Wolf, is struck down in battle, it is up to his daughter to keep the rebellion alive. Megan knows she must act quickly or risk losing the fight for their ancestral lands. Desperate, she secretly assumes the Black Wolf's mantle, fooling their enemies into thinking he's still alive. If she can keep going for a bit longer, the clan's future will be secure
Rolf St. James has been sent by the king to settle the Scottish lands once and for all. He's not about to let a woman get in his way, no matter how desirable he finds her. He must put aside his attraction and fulfill his duty to permanently quell the rebellion, regardless of the cost.
Rolf represents everything her father hated, everything she's been fighting against. But as the days pass and Rolf's code of honor reveals itself, Megan finds it's not so easy to hate him anymore. Can she risk her people's future for a chance at personal happiness?

4 ratings1 review
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The Thorn and the Thistle to Enchant Readers Set in 1751, this Historical Romance plays out amongst the Scottish Highlands; this is a tale of honor, respect, secrets, love, and hate. Readers will be taken back in time to live in the midst of Highlander clans during a time of upheaval and turmoil. The tale abounds with characters that cover every aspect of the human psyche, both good and bad. Those looking for a wonderful and enthralling tale will be delightedly engrossed by this work. However, those looking for the quick or lurid bedroom occupations will not find it. Everything about this tale is deep and enveloping. The main character, Megan MacLeod, is a strong and independent woman with a sharp mind and the weight of the world on her shoulders. Her counterpart, Rolf St. James, is a strong-willed and honorable man set in the midst of a rock and a hard place, being surrounded by those influences that favor greed and power above all things. Each character is as life-like as any person in the realm of reality. Coupled with the extraordinary plot, and landscape of the tale, each thoroughly serves the purpose of catching a reader’s attention and holding it. The plot is an experience in historic prowess, ingenuity, and flagrant imagination. Readers will be pulled into Megan’s world and live the experiences with the characters. There is nothing vague about this storyline. Each move of a character plays out as if chess pieces on the board of skilled opponents. Moffett has found a time machine to be transport readers at her will, and we are all better for it.
