His Wicked Highland Ways — Laura Strickland

Widowed following a marriage of convenience, Jeannie MacWherter has fled lowland Dumfries, Scotland, for the highland cottage bequeathed to her late husband by his brother-in-arms, laird of the glen. Though she's never met the laird, local rumor labels him both murderer and seducer -- a wicked, dangerous man who Jeannie learns is determined to chase her from his land.

Finnan MacAllister has come home to Glen Mhor in order to right past wrongs. He doesn't care that Rowan Cottage is the beautiful Widow MacWherter's only refuge. He's convinced she's a wanton who deliberately broke the heart of his best friend, Geordie, and he's vowed to get even with her: seduction is his weapon of choice. But will his own heart betray him?
