Kilty Pleasures — Anna Markland

Book Three in the hilarious and romantic Clash of the Tartans series! The ascension of King James of Scotland to the throne of England has united two age-old enemies. The king is determined to stamp out the clan feuds that have led to centuries of murder and mayhem. When his father is executed for assassinating the laird of another Lowland clan, Broderick Maxwell is unexpectedly thrust into leadership of his clan. He strives to resurrect his clan's reputation at a time when change is sweeping over Scotland. He must also take responsibility for raising his 11-year-old sister. Kyla MacKeegan is the daughter of a powerful Highland chieftain, and an accomplished sea captain who has plied the waters of the Hebridean Sea since childhood. Broderick is drawn to her from their first inauspicious meeting. But a union between a Highlander and a Lowlander would never work. Especially after Broderick accuses Kyla of smuggling opium by way of the Solway Firth and sinks her father's galley. Laird Corbin Lochwood is determined to avenge his uncle's assassination by Broderick's father and will do his utmost to gain control of Maxwell lands. Can a romance survive a sunken galley and age-old hatred?
