The Forbidden Highlander A Clan MacLerie Novella

The Forbidden Highlander By Terri Brisbin

Can a man and woman who defy the most powerful chieftain in the Highlands for love survive the challenges ahead of them?

James Murray, heir to the powerful and influential Murray chieftain of Perth, was honor-bound to marry the woman his father had chosen... and negotiated for him. Determined to carry out his duties, he ignored the warning signs and even the questionable birth of his fiancée and the clear fact that she bore soft feelings towards her guard. It mattered not... until it did. For try as he might to accept a future with his arranged bride, he instead found the perfect woman for him was her best friend.

Elizabeth MacLerie had found no hardship in serving as companion to her friend and cousin Ciara Robertson. She was excited to leave her village and accompany Ciara on the journey to meet and return home with Ciara and her betrothed... until she meets him. James is completely wrong for Ciara, but as the days pass Elizabeth realizes she is falling in love with him.

Rather than be forced into the arranged marriage, James takes the bold and dangerous step of running away with Elizabeth. On their own, on the run from two angry chieftains and without friends or family, they must discover the depth and strength of their new love.

But will love be enough to keep them together when so many plot to separate them?
