The Highlander & His Lady Samson, Lisa

A Scottish warrior and a Sassenach noblewoman — exactly the kind of pairing that should never work. He's all broadsword and Highland honor. She's English aristocracy with a sharp tongue and sharper instincts. When circumstance throws them together in the volatile Scottish borderlands, what starts as mutual suspicion turns into something far more dangerous: desire. Lisa Samson writes historical romance with grit and wit, giving her protagonists real obstacles beyond "will they or won't they." The chemistry crackles, but so does the tension between two worlds that can't quite reconcile. If you like your romance with a side of political intrigue and protagonists who earn their happy ending, this one delivers.
