Taken By The Laird

by Margo Maguire

     

Maguire’s Taken By The Laird is a romantic offering that truly shows the tenderness of romance along with the trials and tribulations of a hero and heroine who make it all worthwhile.

Brianna Munro escapes before she can be chained in marriage to a despicable and cruel Lord. She runs to Scotland in hopes her aunt will help her, but finds her beloved relative is dead. Afraid she will be found and brought back to England, she hides out in the ruins attached to Castle Glenloch. While trying to keep warm, she is attacked by none other than the Laird himself, who believes she is a boy... at least at first.

Hugh Christie, the Laird of Glenloch, is checking the whiskey cache he has stashed in the ruins of his home. The revenue from sales will help the people of Glenloch, but lately the numbers are not adding up. In his quest to discover what is going on, he finds a young boy near the whiskey. When he prevents the boy from fleeing, he discovers he has a handful of beautiful woman. A woman who acts as if she has something to hide.

The laird offers Brianna a warm place to stay. She agrees to the offer but plans to leave as soon as the weather clears. What she doesn’t plan on is the instant attraction they both begin to feel toward one another. The attraction grows deeper, and Brianna finds herself not wanting to leave the laird. Just as they reach a mutual and very satisfying relationship, her fiancé arrives, along with her uncle, and a dead body surfaces in the loch. She and Hugh are soon fighting for their love as well as their lives.
