McClairen's Isle: the Passionate One

Book excerpt: The first in a 3-part series, The Passionate One takes readers to the Scottish Highlands. We are introduced to the Merrick family - two brothers and a sister - who are bound together by an evil father. Ashton, the eldest, was a notorious rogue with a reputation for hell-raising and heartbreaking. But family secrets forced him to do his ruthless father's bidding, and escort Rhiannon Russell back to McClairen's Isle. Ashton suspected that his father intended to make the innocent beauty his fourth wife, but he didn't expect the passions she would ignite in his own wary heart.
