Others: Negative

When Lady Johanna learned that she was a widow, she vowed she would never marry again. Only sixteen, already she possessed a strength of will that impressed all who looked past her golden-haired beauty. Yet when King John demanded that she remarry -- and selected a bridegroom for her -- it seemed she must acquiesce, until her beloved foster brother suggested she wed his friend, the handsome Scottish warrior Gabriel MacBain. At first Johanna was shy, but as Gabriel tenderly revealed the splendid pleasures they would share, she came to suspect that she was falling in love with her gruff new husband. And it was soon apparent to the entire Highlands clan that their brusque, gallant laird had surrendered his heart completely. But now a desperate royal intrigue threatened to tear her from his side -- and to destroy the man whose love meant more to her than she had ever dreamed! (From the Author's web-site.)

    THE UNFORGETTABLE FINALE TO THE #1 BESTSELLING DUET THAT WILL WRECK YOU, HEAL YOU, AND HAUNT YOU. Wed him. Bed him. Slit his throat. I killed the king. Crowned myself in his blood, But the curse still festers. To break it, I need Death, on his knees, a ring on his finger. My blade at his throat. The god fights me to the grave, evades my touch, mocks my wanting. He would rather tear himself apart than let me close enough to end this. But I didn't come this far to lose. I came to crown him mine. Welcome to your wedding, my love. Darkly seductive, exquisitely written, and deeply emotional, the Heartstring Duet is a breathtaking tale of forbidden love, impossible choices, and hard-won hope that will break your heart and put it back together again. Crown Me Yours is book two in the dark fantasy romance Heartstring Duet. The world contains deception, mystery, violence, dark elements, and mature content. What this book doesn’t contain is a hero (because villains do it better). You can find more detailed information at Liv Zander's website.

  • Lilacs on Lace

    From Goodreads: Set amid the rugged beauty of the wild Scottish highlands, Lilacs on Lace is a story of forbidden love that blossoms between enemies in a savage war, and of an ancient secret that is the key to unlocking love's healing power. This is the first book in a new Scottish trilogy. From Publishers Weekly: In Scotland of 1691, Ainsley Campbell, ward of a powerful earl named Hugh Campbell, has been harshly raised in a convent, where she is labeled a witch for her unusual eyes and healing powers. One night, a handsome stranger whisks her away, supposedly to meet her betrothed, an English lord. To Ainsley's horror, her captor is actually Rodric MacDonald, a member of the enemy clan whom she believes murdered her parents. Rodric tells her she has been given to him in marriage by her father, whom he claims is still alive. At first disbelieving, Ainsley learns, upon reaching the Isle of Skye, that she is the child of a liaison between warring clans and that she has a critical role to play in their power struggles. Except for a slow-paced middle in which the heroine's protracted refusal to consummate her marriage strains credibility, Ladd (White Orchid) writes a rousing story filled with vivid emotion, plot twists, memorable characters and period color, including surprising encounters with William and Mary of England. This romance is the first of a planned Scottish trilogy. Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.

But he sees.... He is dark and dangerous and lethal, but he’s the only man who makes me feel like I’m alive. It’s a pity he’s too loyal to my brothers to ever act on the sparks that constantly fly between us.... Or is he? Because when he finally loses control, it’s even more than I ever dreamed it could be. And even though he tells me that the two of us aren’t an option, I see the look in his eyes every time we’re together. He’s only ever a breath away from losing that control again. But Max is a man with a dark past and secrets that he can’t escape. When that past catches up with us, it threatens what might be our only shot at happiness. Because I would give up everything I’ve ever known for a life with him. And when my brothers find out about us, I just might have to.
