Brotherhood of Solway Moss: Book 1
Publication Date: July 23, 2024
The only thing more dangerous than his sword is the flame-haired enemy who’s stolen his heart…in this gripping Highland romance from USA Today bestselling author Heather McCollum.
Fearsome Highland warrior Rory MacLeod has sacrificed for his clan. But taken as prisoner—in place of his older brother, who’s meant to be laird—is more than any man should bear. So when the chance for escape presents itself, Rory risks everything for freedom. But instead of returning to the welcoming warmth of home, Rory steps into a blazing trap…
Despite her betrothal to their laird, Lady Sara Macdonald has no love for the MacLeod clan. But when her treacherous father locks the entire MacLeod wedding party into the church and sets fire to it, she cannot stand by and watch the slaughter. Saving them means turning traitor to her clan and becoming an enemy to her own blood…left to the mercy of her greatest enemy.
Now her intended husband lies somewhere between life and death, and Sara’s only ally is his younger brother: the fierce MacLeod warrior she’s forbidden to want. And as hunger blazes to life between Rory and Sara—unbidden, untamed, and hotter than the fires of Beltane—they quickly find themselves caught between honor and a love that will turn blood against blood.
Wearing the plaid of his clan, the fierce warrior dominates the front cover. With a sword in hand, his image evokes memories of countless historical romances that have come before.
Unlike the bodice rippers of the past, though, The Highlander’s Wild Flame bears a content warning. The one thing missing from author Heather McCollum’s list is the desire to read the next book in the series ASAP.
Rory MacLeod easily checks all of the boxes as a Scottish warrior. After being imprisoned by the English for over a year, the Lion of Skye is not to be trifled with.
However, his interest is sparked by a lovely woman who bonds with Rory’s dog. That interest quickly turns to horror when he discovers the next day that the woman, Seraphina Macdonald, is to be his sister-in-law.
An intricate plot twist pits them against each other while proximity keeps the attraction burning. Their banter is quite entertaining, especially since Sara is a strong female character.
The big question is whether they can overcome the challenges and betrayals in order to have a happily ever after.
The Highlander’s Wild Flame serves up a steamy first installment in what promises to be a sizzling hot series full of men in kilts.
