About this title

From the Publisher

Ten New York Times bestsellers- including her latest, For the Roses-verify what Julie Garwood's fans have always known: she is a masterful storyteller. "Julie Garwood attracts readers like beautiful heroines attract dashing heroes," says USA Today. Now, returning to the enchanting world she created in The Bride, she delights us again with another fascinating tale of love, adventure, and soaring ambitions, set in twelfth-century Scotland....

The Wedding

Lady Brenna MacAlister harbored no illusions that her husband, a quick tempered highland laird, was in love with her. How could he be enamored of his bride when, on their wedding day, he had assured her that she could return to her home in England as soon as she had given him a son?

Marrying Connor MacAlister had been an impulsive act for Brenna. But MacAlister and his warriors, a savage-looking band who had captured her and her party en route to her arranged marriage to another, offered precious few alternatives. Nor could Brenna deny that in fact she had proposed to MacAlister-even if that had been ten long years ago, when she was just a child, and Conner a visitor to her father's castle. Actually, Brenna scarcely remembered the secret missives she'd sent to MacAlister, abetted by her mischievous older sister... yet she had never forgotten the tall visitor's dazzling, unexpected smile.

Now, after a hasty forest wedding, they were man and wife. Determined to be happy, Brenna soon endeared herself to most of the clan, despite-or perhaps because of-her uncanny knack for getting into trouble. And although she grew to adore her brave, superstitious, gentle husband, she had no clue that Connor lived for the moments she whispered "I love you"... words she never meant for him to hear. But when a rival laird struck out at the MacAlisters, trapping Brenna in a web of dangerous intrigue, she knew that only her faith in her gallant mate could save her....
