Laird of the Mist (Warner Forever)
By Paula Quinn
Grand Central Publishing
December 2007
For centuries the MacGregors and the Campbells have been sworn enemies. The Campbells believe that the MacGregors brutally murdered many of their clan, including their last two lairds. The MacGregors hold the Campbells responsible for the royal proscription that robbed them of their name and lands.
For six years Callum MacGregor has been raiding the Campbells as a way of revenge for all that his clan has lost. Now on his most recent raid, “Devil” MacGregor finds himself doing something totally unexpected when, during the battle, he saves the life of Kate Campbell. Callum takes the spirited woman hostage, but on the long journey back to Camlochlin, his clan’s stronghold, Callum finds himself in deadly danger of betraying his family by falling in love with Kate.
Quinn deftly matches up her dark, tortured hero with a strong-willed heroine who holds the key to his redemption in her latest boldly passionate, intrigue-rich historical romance. With its fascinating - and realistically bloody - 17th century Scotland setting and its realistically complex and unforgettable characters, Laird of the Mist is terrific.
