Description

THE DOUGLAS LEGACY
The Douglas sisters, beauties all, are valuable pawns in their family's bitter struggle to control the Scottish Crown. But when powerful enemies threaten, each Douglas lass will find she must face them alone.

CAPTURED BY A LAIRD
Haunted by his father's violent death, David Hume, the new laird of Wedderburn, sets out to make his name so feared that no one will dare harm his family again. The treacherous ally who played on his father's weakness is dead and beyond David's vengeance, but his castle and young widow are ripe for the taking. The moment David lays eyes on the dark-haired beauty defending her wee daughters, however, he knows this frail-looking lass is the one person who could bring him to his knees.

Wed at thirteen to a man who tried daily to break her spirit, Lady Alison Douglas is looking forward to a long widowhood. But when the fearsome warrior known as the Beast of Wedderburn storms her gates, she finds herself, once again, forced to wed a stranger. Alison is only a pawn to serve his vengeance, so why does this dark warrior arouse such fiery passion and an unwelcome longing in her heart?

With death and danger looming, these two wounded souls must learn to trust each other...for only love can save them.

    He asks for loyalty yet gives none to her. He forces her into marriage, weds off his stepdaughters to his brothers, uses alison and her daughters as pawns to get revenge, withholds information cause he never trusted her only until “she’s with child maybe he’d began to trust her” and asks for loyalty. The idiocy of this guy and his brothers is ridiculous 🤬🤬🤬👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

Just when she thinks her life might improve she and her young daughters are invaded by David (The Beast) Hume and forced to marry him. Gradually they begin to care for each other in the midst of warring clans and Blackadders Clan coming for revenge. Read this book!! It’s wonderful!

    I enjoyed this book and my late husband has Douglas relations here in E. TN I guess they migrated from Scotland originally. I am originally from CA but I have always loved history.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I hated it to come to the end. The characters are so believable. It is hard to believe that people lived in such violent times. Worth reading.
