Now, putting family loyalty above all else, he steps up to marry his older brother’s jilted bride and salvage the uneasy alliance between two clans.

Despite everything, though, the heat in Caelen’s touch melts her defenses, and she craves the sensual delights of a husband who guards his emotions as fiercely as his clan. But when the ultimate battle for the McCabe legacy is upon them, Rionna’s true warrior spirit emerges. She will risk the wrath of her father, the fury of her enemies, and her life to prove to Caelen that his wife’s love is too precious to lose.
I can't wait to finish up In Bed... and get started on the next one right away! These are my first Highlander books and I think Maya Banks has done an excellent job so far. The men are fierce and loyal to their clan and the women are the same mix of fierceness and boldness. I love that I can already see how the stories are connected through the brothers. So for my first dip into the Highlander pool I think I am doing ok :) How about you? Do you enjoy Highlander stories? Any other recommendations (besides Jennifer Ashleys trio out so far, which I have heard awesome things about already and own and will get to soon)?
