Synopsis:
After a harsh betrayal, Magnus “Strath” Sutherland, Laird of
Dornoch, accepts a commission from the king to squelch an English lord’s siege
at the Scottish border. What better way to torment his new English enemy than
to defeat his army and steal his beautiful bride? At first, Strath plans to
toss the Sassenach lass into a dark cell and forget about her, but there is
something about the way she defies him that he finds alluring, not to mention
how very much he’d like to kiss her.
Eva de Clare, youngest daughter of the Earl of Northwyck, is pledged in matrimony to a cruel lord blackmailing her family. Her salvation comes in the form of a terrifying Highlander who interrupts the ceremony. But salvation turns to horror when she’s plucked from where she stands and whisked across the Scottish border. Eva isn’t about to be made a prisoner of war, and once she sees the kindness beneath her captor’s hard exterior she decides she won’t be sent back to England to be wed either. In fact, she just might be the woman to warm the Highland warrior’s hardened heart.

Excerpt
from THE HIGHLANDER’S STOLEN BRIDE:
What is the bastard up to?
Magnus “Strath” Sutherland, the Laird of Dornoch and Earl
of Strathnavor, sat on his horse in the woods just beyond the perimeter of
Northwyck Castle. He’d been sent south on a mission by his King, Robert the
Bruce. One, to determine if the daughter of Lord Northwyck was dead as had been
claimed, and also to stop a certain vile Sassenach lord from
his continued raids at the border, who may or may not be holding her captive.
That man was in the castle before him.
A plan to ambush Belfinch and his men on the road had
been thwarted when the whoreson disappeared. Unfamiliar with the land this far
past the English border, Strath and his men had found their quarry on the moors
riding at a clipped pace toward this castle. This turnabout would work in their
favor it seemed, since he could now take care of both of his king’s requests at
once.
The keep was only about four stories high, if he had to
guess, and the wall was about half that. There was a thin moat around the
perimeter, and a village to the west. Smoke filtered out of a few chimneys in
the village, but it was only late afternoon, so most of the peasants would
likely be in the fields working. Smoke came from several chimneys in the castle
keep.
From the intelligence Strath had been able to gather,
this was the home of another man, the Earl of Northwyck. None of Belfinch’s men
had waited outside, which meant the Earl of Northwyck was used to the men
coming here, or he’d been forced. But Strath was betting on him being an ally.
If that were the case, which seemed likely, it would behoove him and his men to
remove all the threats.
This was war, after all. And if he let them go, they’d
only continue the border raids he’d been sent to stop. Strath wasn’t about to
disappoint his king. As to why the king cared about a lass, that was a question
he’d have to leave unanswered, for his liege had not offered the
information.
“What did ye find?” he asked when Tomaidh, his finest
scout and best mate, returned.
“Two entrances that I could make out. The main gate has a
wide drawbridge over the moat, still lowered from when Belfinch’s men went inside,
and a postern gate that looks to be accessible only by a narrow drawbridge, but
it was not lowered. The walls are guarded by a dozen men, more concentrated on
the front gate with only a few at the postern. And I think one spotted me.”
“Damn.” Strath, as any warlord about to lay siege, much
preferred the element of surprise.
“I was careful, but when I mounted my horse by the woods,
I think my sword hilt caught the sun just when there was a break in the clouds.
I heard a horn blown in the distance, which I’m guessing was the warning. I
didn’t come straight here. I rode in the opposite direction and circled back
through the woods in case they sent anyone out to follow me.”
“Ye did good.”
“I’m sorry, laird.”
“Dinna fash over it, Tomaidh. We’ll wait then. If they
spotted ye, they’ll likely be preparing for an unwanted guest. With enough
time, they will think spotting ye was nothing more than someone riding through.
They will let their guard down.” Probably not all the way, but enough so he
could still attack with success.
And he would succeed.

My Review
5 Stars
THE HIGHLANDER'S STOLEN BRIDE by Eliza Knight is book Two in The
Sutherland Legacy Series. This is the story of Magnus “Strath”
Sutherland, Laird of Dornoch , Earl of Strathnavor and Eva de Clare. I
have read the previous book, but feel you can make this a standalone
book if you choose to do so. Eva's father has been black mailed for the
last few years by Lord Belfinch who now demands her had in marriage.
Lord Belfinch is a evil man and she begs her father not to do it but
papers have been signed making her. But just before a vow is said Strath
comes in and takes her away. Strath who is getting over a past mistake
where he trusted a women only to be deceived by her that ended up
hurting his father has taken a commission from King, Robert the Bruce to
bring the evil Lord Belfinch in for his evil deeds and to find out of
Lord Northwyck daughter Eva is safe. Strath thinks at first that Eva was
wanting to marry Lord Belfinch and when she doesn't quickly say
different proves his thoughts. But Eva was being forced to marry him but
for some reason she is hoping to save her father at first and she was
also somewhat scared of Strath from what she has heard of his people.
But it doesn't take long before their feelings start to take over for
each other and they are finding that they want each other.
Exciting read that is very hard to put down...loved it!
