Highlander On The Run
(2019)(The first book in the Iron Of The Highlands series)
A novel by Emilia Ferguson
A hairdresser with access to secrets, a freedom fighter with a flair, and an observant baron with a calculating mind…
Adelberta McMurrie, known by her friends as Addie, is an intelligent lass working for the master of her father, Lord Baliol, whom the King of England has chosen to place on the empty Scottish throne. Thrust into the employ of the King of England, Addie finds herself in the midst of danger and uncertainty. Many of the nobles abhor Lord Baliol and despise him as future king over Scotland. Addie, however, supports him wholeheartedly, until she meets Alexander Raeburne.
The intelligent Highlander finds herself in a precarious position when Addie discovers she may be with child by Alexander out of wedlock. Hoping to reverse her mortal sin and assuage her guilt, Addie chooses to return to the castle, regardless of the danger to herself, in order to aid Alexander in bringing freedom to Scotland from the control of the King of England.
A determined Baron-turned-freedom fighter
Alexander Raeburne has come to Berwick Castle to free Scotland from the English King Edward I, and removing Lord Baliol from power, by whatever means necessary. While on a spy mission, scouting out the castle, Alexander has a chance encounter with Addie, one that will forever change his life. After that, he cannot get her out of his mind, or his heart. Especially when he finds that she is possibly in danger.
When Alexander can no longer contain his love for Addie, he rescues her from the castle, only to have her return when she believes she would be nothing but a hindrance to him in his cause. However, the courageous Baron will stop at nothing to get her back, especially when he discovers she could be the object of a village spectacle. Determined to stay with her, and still fulfill his mission of killing the King, Alexander formulates and tries to execute, plan after plan, only to have something stand in the way of his success every time.
Love at last
Love finally wins for Addie and Alexander when Addie must flee one last time from Berwick Castle, or risk both her own life and the life of the bairn she carries. A chance encounter on a forested path gives Alexander a place for them both to find sanctuary, and allow them to be wed before her pregnancy becomes known. For an outlaw determined to see the King removed and a hairdresser in royal employ, life, and love, will not be easily won – with danger around every corner.
Will Addie be able to choose between her love for Alexander and atoning for her sin – or will she have to beg for mercy from uncaring relatives?
