The stormy series, The Legacy of MacLeod, begins …

Catriona MacLeod, known as the Shrew of Assynt, refuses to let her five older brothers run her life. When they arrange a marriage for her with the last man in Scotland she would ever consent to wed, she flees her home determined to make her own way in the world only to find herself abandoned by her horse and caught in the fickle winter weather of the Scottish Highlands.

Tayg Munro is a warrior in King Robert the Bruce’s army, and an inveterate charmer of the lasses. In order to avoid well-meaning matchmaking, he takes on a task for the King — traveling deep into the Highlands at the start of winter with a message to a recalcitrant chief.

When the shrew and the charmer are thrown together by happenstance, foul weather, and a plot against the king, sparks fly and a deep surprising passion flames to life between them. Trouble follows close on their heels as they travel together to warn the king. Only by trusting each other and their growing love that warms even the shrew’s careful heart, can they hope to survive the harsh climate, her hoard of brothers and the man who seeks harm to the king.
