Reiver's Bride

ABDUCTED HEIRESS is Volume One in this quartet-series. Molly Gordon, the Maid of Dunsithe, was the wealthiest lass in Scotland-or she would be if anyone could find her fortune. Her father had hidden the fabulous Dunsithe treasure, only to pass away before he could reveal his secret...and before Molly and her sister were spirited away and separated, perhaps forever. Now, on the misty island where she's kept captive, Molly longs for a hero brave enough to rescue her.
Sir Finlay Mackenzie-known as Wild Fin-is a hot-tempered warrior who has been granted possession of the Maid of Dunsithe. Armed with the right to marry her or barter her, he must deal with a proud woman who resists his passion and defies his commands. As they wrestle with danger and desire, neither will see the ancient, mystical bond that connects their fates...until Wild Fin and Molly open their hearts to magic and love.

While out riding one evening, Anne Ellyson unexpectedly encounters some reivers, but even more surprising to Anne is finding her cousin Fiona's former fiance, Christopher "Kit" Chisholm, among the group. Almost two years ago Christopher disappeared, and soon after, his uncle Eustace took control of Kit's title, his lands, and his betrothed. Convinced that Kit is a much better choice of a husband for Fiona, Anne vows to do whatever she can to bring them together and help Kit reclaim his inheritance. The only problem is that the more involved with Kit Ann becomes, the more the difficult it is to imagine the wickedly handsome rogue marrying anyone other than herself! Scott creatively uses the complicated border politics between England and Scotland of the time in her fourth Secret Clan book, which features the same intriguing mix of romance, adventure, and a sprinkling of magic as the "wee folk" continue to play matchmaker with mortals.
