1263: As the Highland village of Somerstrath prepares for the joyous wedding of Margaret MacDonald, the laird's daughter, a dark storm of bloodshed and betrayal closes in.... Now, determined to hold her shattered clan together and locate her abducted younger brother in the wake of a brutal Viking attack, Margaret must choose between obeying the dictates of King Alexander's court, or placing her trust in Gannon MacMagnus, an imposing half-Irish, half-Norse warrior. Who is this stranger who vows not to harm her? Will he vanquish the barbarous killers who would continue to destroy the rugged, magnificent land she calls home? (Amazon).
I loved this book and spent most of the weekend reading it because I couldn't put it down. I didn't want to put it down. This book had a perfect balance of historical detail and romance. I was drawn into the story and wanted to learn about the hero and heroine as well as other characters. This was the first book by Givens that I have read and I plan on glomming her backlist. Unfortunately while looking up how many books she has written and what may be coming next, I discovered that the author has passed away. I truly believe that the romance community has lost a great voice in Kathleen Givens.
