Jonathan Lethem: IMG Stops: On Those Things My New Novel Forgot to Be About, Maybe

0 comments By Jonathan Lethem

For me, there's a weird, unfathomable gulf — I almost wrote gulp — between the completion of a novel and its publication. Some days this duration feels interminable, as though the book has... Continue »

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Lachlan Maclean will do whatever it takes to protect his clan–even if it means abducting the most willful woman in the Highlands with the secret intention of wooing her for marriage. A born searing sensual leader possessing brute strength, and an imposing command, Lachlan is unprepared for the beautiful spitfire Flora MacLeod, who jeopardizes his plans to save his clan, and digs beneath his hard, chiseled exterior to expose a tenderness that may be his undoing.

The greatest marriage prize in the Highlands, Flora is determined at all costs to avoid her mother’s fate of being bartered away as a political pawn. Vowing to make her captor pay for his ruthlessness, she boldly engages him in a battle of wills, sweetening the challenge with dangerous passion–even as the lingering curse and deadly ghosts of a past tragedy reach out to thwart a tender love that has yet to be spoken.

Synopsis:

In the third and final book of a sexy, back-to-back Scottish historical trilogy, a flinty warrior chief kidnaps a beautiful heiress in order to win her heart. But this headstrong woman vows to be a prize for no man--no matter how beguiling. Original.

About the Author

Monica McCarty’s interest in the Scottish clan system began in the most unlikely of places: a comparative legal history course at Stanford Law School. After a short but enjoyable stint practicing law, she realized that her legal vocation and her husband’s transitory career as a professional baseball player were not exactly a match made in heaven. So she traded in her legal briefs for Scottish historical romances with sexy alpha heroes. She lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband and their two young children.

In Monica McCarty's newest release, Highlander Unmasked, we meet Alex MacLeod, who's traveling to the royal court in Edinburgh, Scotland. Alex is on a secret mission to learn the greedy English king's plot to gain control of the rugged, mountainous Highlands, which have belonged to Alex's family and other clans for centuries.

Although he's honorable, Alex has been living as an outlaw for years -- he wants his life to be punishing and empty to make up for a horrible mistake he made years before. So, when he rescues a young woman from a violent attack, he's awestruck by the instant, emotional attraction he feels for her.

Reserved and bookish, Meg Mackinnon is amazed that she's drawn to the fierce and mysterious warrior who rescues her, then leaves her side without a word. But when she sees him again at the royal court, she's confused and hurt; Alex pretends they've never met before.

Meg's at the royal court for one reason: She needs to find a husband. Her brother is emotionally challenged, so she wants to marry a strong warrior who'll support her brother in his duties when the boy becomes clan chief.

When Meg forces Alex to acknowledge her, he goes to great lengths to convince her he's anything but the kind of husband she needs. And as Alex tries to ignore the powerful feelings Meg's admiration stirs in him, he faces a decision: Win the noble battle for Highland justice, or lose the war for the happiness he and Meg deserve.

Highlander Unchained by Monica McCarty as well as my other favorite historical romance novel-The Fates by Tino Georgiou, are a delight. They're thrilling and passionate love stories set within real historical times.
