Book Description

A nobleman seeking his Highlands birthright is surprised to meet his bride in New York Times bestselling author Karen Ranney’s When the Laird Returns. “Through scrupulous historical detail and fluid prose, Ranney brings eighteenth-century Scotland to life in a vivid story that engages the reader from start to finish.” —Publishers Weekly Alisdair McRae is descended from Scottish lairds and the rightful inheritor of his family’s expansive estate in the Highlands. But the land now lies in the hands of Magnus Drummond, a nobleman who demands a high price for Alisdair to reclaim it—a vast sum of money, and his daughter’s hand in marriage. Iseabal Drummond has spent her life bound to her father’s malicious whims, and she cannot think her sudden engagement has been arranged out of kindness. Now, she’s expected to trust a stranger who has never set foot in his ancestral home as a husband, surrendering any chance for having her own freedom. While neither Alisdair nor Iseabal wanted a marriage of convenience, it isn’t long before they discover they are kindred spirits. And as their friendship blossoms into an unexpected love, Iseabal’s father threatens to ruin their happily ever after. . . “Karen Ranney writes with power, passion, and dramatic flair.” —New York Times bestselling author Stephanie Laurens The Highland Lords One Man’s Love When the Laird Returns The Invisible MacRae To Love a Scottish Lord So In Love
