everywhere she goes? The first explosion brings her
face-to-face with a handsome Charleston police

28 The Wedding 1119. Journeying from England to Scotland to wed a
highlander, Lady Brenna had resigned herself to the
arranged match. But when a band of fierce, painted
warriors captured her en route, she fearlessly met their
demand to marry their leader -- the quick-tempered laird
Connor MacAlister. She couldn't know that her capture
was merely the first act of vengeance against her
betrothed, Connor's sworn enemy.
Brenna harbored no illusions that her husband was in
love with her; after a hasty forest wedding, MacAlister
assured her she could return home once she had borne
him a son. But she could not deny that she had once
proposed to MacAlister -- ten years ago, when she was
just a child, and the visitor to her father's castle
charmed her with his dazzling, unexpected smile. Now,
as she sets out to win the brave chieftain whom she has
come to adore, a legacy of revenge ensnares Brenna in a
furious clan war -- and only her faith in her gallant hero
can save her....
