Destiny of a Highlander (Blood of Duncliffe #2) by Emilia Ferguson – Free eBooks Download
Description:
Francine McGowan, daughter of the Jacobite earl of Duncliffe, is faced with a decision similar to a thousand other girls her age in the wilds of Scotland… Her father hopes to marry her to someone who will increase his power and holdings, but she hopes for a match of love. The choice before her is simple—she can marry the handsome and cruel man her father has chosen or run to her sister Arabella in the north.
However, the decision is suddenly more complicated when another choice is thrust before her—an English nobleman who captures her heart immediately. A vision forces her to question her future, but an attempted abduction leaves her with no doubt. She must act fast, or her reputation will force her father’s hand.
An English Jacobite. Henry Gracewell is a stranger in Scotland, son of an earl with Jacobite leanings, and feels like an outcast until a beautiful Highlander changes his opinion of the wild country. Though he is enraptured by her beauty, he knows nothing about her. However, his heart is drawn to her, and he is determined to learn more about the stunning enigma that is Francine.
Before he can make up his mind about how to proceed, he is also presented with a hard choice: his family will eventually return to England, and he cannot return with a Highland lass in tow. She would be as miserable as he once was, so he makes the painful decision to marry his father’s choice instead—an English noblewoman. He finds a way for one more encounter with Francine—saying goodbye—but Fate has other plans for the two.
Abduction…and Marriage? A cunning and spurned Highlander—Francine’s father has given her to him, he believes—has determined that he will have the beauty…or no one will. He abducts the unwilling lass, but her faithful lord comes to her rescue. Now they are forced to marry, for no other reason than to save her reputation, ostensibly, but their hearts are united.
Can this be a love that will last for eternity—or will new circumstances force them apart once again?
Should the two ignore the stirrings of a deep and abiding romance in order to quell the raging battle of two very different warring cultures?
