The Highlander's Crusader Bride: Book 3 in the Hardy Heroines series

By Cathy MacRae and D.D. MacRae

A marriage forged for survival...
could cost them their hearts.

1221 A.D.

Arbela
Half-Armenian and half-Scot, Arbela MacLean has spent her life in the Holy Land, where danger and adventure are as common and as fierce as the desert wind. But when her father returns the family to Scotland, Arbela faces danger of a different sort-marriage.

Promised to a Highland laird she has met only once, she knows her future is meant to secure an alliance... not her happiness.

Yet Arbela has never been the sort of woman who quietly accepts her fate.

Caelen
Plague has nearly destroyed Caelen MacKern's clan.
With too few warriors and too many depending on him, the weary laird agrees to remarry-purely for the men, resources, and coin the alliance will bring. Love is the last thing he expects... or wants.

But the bold, headstrong woman who arrives at his keep is nothing like the obedient bride he anticipated.
