Let
me catch you up. Rona be a fearsome
pirate, but intimacies with near strangers even one she is agreeing to wed is a
different kind of fight. So… how will he woo her?

Excerpt 8

An exhilaration not unlike facing a storm at the bow of a
ship rushed over her. She swallowed, throat suddenly dry. “This isnae going to
be a peck on the cheek, then?”

His grin was pure seduction. “Nae, lass. I dinnae have
pecks in mind.” He reached a hand toward her. “The first step is yers.”

“Och, thank God. For I dinnae know what the second step is.”

The Highlander’s Pirate
Bride
By Cathy & DD MacRae

Will the theft of the
wrong ship land her in a hangman’s noose? Or a Highlander’s arms?

As the pirate The Black MacNeill, Rona MacNeill
has stolen more than one English ship to keep her clan from starving. With Yule
only days away, will the theft of the wrong ship land her in a hangman’s noose?
Or the arms of a Highlander?

Rona MacNeill has done everything she can to
help her small, impoverished clan—except marry for money. Her luck seems to lie
in stealing ships, not attracting suitors. Only days before Yule, she seeks one
last ship with stores to keep her people fed over the long, harsh winter. Too
bad her luck has run out.

Pedr MacLean is happy to be the younger (by
three minutes) son of Baron MacLean. His days are filled with running the
family’s shipping business and sailing the world. His heart belongs to the
sea—or so he thinks, until one of his ships is stolen, and the woman
responsible turns his world upside down.

Drawn to Rona’s strength and love of the sea,
Pedr will agree to her father’s demand—information on the whereabouts of his
ship in exchange for his daughter’s hand in marriage. Will Rona find herself
caught between a marriage of convenience and a hangman’s noose? Or will she
discover something far more compelling?

The Highlander’s Pirate Bride is the
swash-buckling seventh addition to the Hardy Heroines series. If you like
pirates, rags-to-riches, and swoon-worthy Highlanders, you’ll love Cathy &
DD MacRae’s newest high-seas romance.
