True Highland Spirit

This is the third in Amanda Forester's Highlander series of Scottish medieval adventure romances. Praised by Publishers Weekly, "The talented Forester has constructed a highly entertaining romantic comedy," Forester's novels offer fast-paced adventure combined with wit and romance.Set amidst the chaos of 14th century Scotland where clans jockeyed for political prominence, and the French and English vied against each other in a never ending threat to Scottish autonomy, a laird's daughter and a French knight are after the same prize.Morrigan McNab takes command of her impoverished clan--she is determined to protect them, even if it means forming an alliance with a vicious old Templar monk and helping him hide a stolen relic. When a French knight offers gold for clans to march in war against England, she joins the call to arms and attraction sparks between the unlikely pair.Sir Dragonet recruits clans to the French cause, yet he is also a spy sent to find the priceless treasure Morrigan hides. Morrigan joins the war against the English but the invasion fails and the conquering King of England marches into Scotland. As Morrigan and Dragonet fight beside each other against the English, and against each other to win the relic, they slowly begin todiscover each other's secrets and their mutual suspicion flares into a mutual attraction too powerful to suppress.
