Deceived by the Highlander

His mission: To wed Freyja MacDonald - by any means possible Alasdair Campbell, unacknowledged bastard son of the late earl, is driven by two things: Loyalty to his half-brother, the current earl, and a burning ambition to rise through the ranks of Clan Campbell. He'll do whatever it takes to leave his tortured past behind him, and to climb closer to his coveted barony. If that means seducing a woman he's never met into marriage so the earl can claim her land in the Western Isles, it's a small price to pay. And then he meets her, and his world is turned upside down... He's the most honorable man she's ever met Freyja MacDonald isn't easily swayed by a handsome face or honeyed tongue, but Alasdair Campbell fairly sweeps her off her feet with his down-to-earth charm. What's more, he respects her work as a healer, something she knows to her cost not all men do. Straight-talking and practical, she appreciates how Alasdair understands her commitment for the unvarnished truth rather than pretty lies, and their stolen kisses have her imagining a future together. Not that it's possible, for she is bound to her land through an ancient prophecy of her foremothers and Alasdair must soon return to his grand castle in the Highlands. Yet she can't deny the longing to be with him wherever that might be. But the truth never stays buried forever...
