It Begins As A Ploy...And Becomes A Pleasure. But Raelynd's designated intended interests her far less than his quietly powerful brother Crevan, a man born to lead. Though bound by honour and committed to his sworn duty, Crevan cannot resist a taste of Raelynd's crimson lips when offered - and then another and another - until the unlikely couple is entangled in both a public deception and each other's hearts...
Raelynd Schellden has determined that she does not want to marry. Yet as the oldest of Lord Schellden’s twin daughters, it is a choice that may not be hers to make. After the humiliating set down of her last suitor, the King has chosen a Low-land raised Scottish nobleman from his court to marry one of Lord Schellden’s daughters and become the Schellden heir.
Desperate to protect his clan from an outsider who doesn't understand, or care for the ways of his clan, Lord Schellden hatches a plan. If he can catch his daughters in a compromising situation and force an engagement using his long time alliance with the neighboring McTiernay clans he can maintain his clan's safety and also have a viable heir for the King.
After watching the McTiernay twins Craig and Crevan follow his twin daughters into the stables, Lord Schellden does catch the twins together. He was dismayed, however, when what he interrupted wasn’t as compromising as he had hoped. He pulled Craig and Crevan aside, and coming to a compromise, he struck a deal with the McTiernays. Fake an engagement for a month. That would be long enough for Lord Schellden to convince the Lowlander that he didn’t have what it would take to become a Highland Laird.
Things don’t go as completely planned, and as Raelynd and Crevan become closer they realize that they are engaged to the wrong person, even though the engagement is false. This becomes clear especially when the Lowland Noble proves to be more than adequate for the job of Schellden Laird.
Tempting The Highlander is the fourth book of the McTiernay clan series. Raelynd and Meriel’s hi-jinx are humorous. This book gives the readers a chance to revisit old characters, and meet new ones. Both Raelynd and Meriel’s growth through this book is enjoyable to watch. True to Sinclair form, the women are bright, quick witted, the men are quick and humorous. The relationship between both sets of twins sets up for what I hope is the fifth book in this series.
Tempting The Highlander by Michele Sinclair is a great stand-alone, but it helps to have read at least Michele’s first book; The Highlander’s Bride for a better understanding of some of the secondary characters. Tempting The Highlander will be available from Kensington Books, and is coming soon to a bookstore near you. and can be ordered from Amazon and Barnes and Noble. Tempting The Highlander. is coming to a bookstore near you by 6 September, so you can read and enjoy.
Happy reading,
Carrie!
