The Accidental Highland Hero

ISBN: 978-0-9819896-6-2
 

Lady Eilis Dunbarton didn't think life could get any worse, until her loving cousin dies and Eilis learns she is to wed the man her cousin was to marry. Not by a change of contract, though. Instead, by deceit. If he learns she is not her cousin, Agnes, her life is forfeit. Crossing the Irish Sea, her ship sinks, she survives, but temporarily loses her memories. When a Highland Clan takes her in, she remembers one thing. She must flee at all costs and disappear. She knows if her family learns of her whereabouts, her life is over.
 
James MacNeill must take a bride or give up his holdings to one of his younger brothers. Malcolm has already taken to wife, the fair Lady Anice of Brecken. Dougald is the next one in line to govern the MacNeill Clan if James does not wed and provide an heir. But when James discovers his cousin and advisor have rescued a half-drowned lass from the sea, there's speculation she is of the enemy clan. Returning her to them is his plan, since he has no intention of using one of their lasses as a bargaining tool. But his mother has another notion--use the lass as a means to entice one of the ladies he is interested in marrying, to visit him and commit to marriage. And then return her to her clan, if she is agreeable.
 
Only nothing works out as anyone plans.

Cleverly Mastered Romance with Braw Highlanders and Brave Lassies

I simply loved this tale. Eilis and James' romance is endearing, the suspense well played out and the secondary characters are just as lovable. Eilis finds herself in situations that will make the reader chuckle and James is sure to make an impression of his own.
 
Ms. Spear has a plan and it's a cleverly mastered. She draws the reader into her stories with witty banter, romantic pursuit and cleverly woven suspense. Medieval Scotland comes alive in vivid detail with braw highlanders and brave lassies who win their hearts. Highly recommended!
  
Join the MacNeill clan again in Winning the Highlander's Heart. This is James' brother, Malcolm and Lady Anice's tale.

Playing make-believe is only fun when you’re a kid… and your life’s not at stake. Forced to take the place of her deceased cousin, Eilis is faced with a moral dilemma. Go through with the deceit and pretend she is her cousin? Or find a way to get out – at any cost? For her, the answer is obvious.

Free-spirited and intelligent, Eilis is not happy about having to pretend to be another. She’s too wrapped up in just being her. Despite the era in which she lives, she is very much her own person with her own thoughts and opinions, which was not the norm back then. However, she handles herself well. Much too often, a heroine of Eilis’ caliber comes off as snotty, spoiled, or just plain obnoxious. The author does a wonderful job of melding her free spirit with the constraints of society in the twelfth century.

James MacNeill, on the other hand, is everything you expect a Laird to be – and more. He’s tough, he’s smart, and he’s tough as nails. However, he balances it well with a great sense of humor and a true love of his people. When the mysterious Eilis is thrust upon his household, he approaches her with both caution and interest. And this mixture of restraint and undeniable attraction is what makes Eilis and James such an explosive couple. They both know that they should hold back and yet, they can’t. It’s classic and it works.

If you’re in the mood for a great historical novel full of laughs, plotting and adventure, then The Accidental Highland Hero is the book for you. Between the cast of amusing characters, the politics between clans, and the budding romance between washed up maiden and Laird of the castle, you will not have a chance to get bored!
