Every bit as courageous as his older brother, he has an unswerving sense of honor and duty, not to mention loyalty. But I felt that Morgan was up to the task, having served as Iain’s right-hand man for so many years. Having to follow in Iain’s footsteps would be a challenge for any alpha male. I needed a big dose of the 18th century - Ranger style. I was homesick for Iain and Annie, Morgan, Connor, Captain Joseph, Lord William, Killie, Dougie, McHugh, Brandon, and the rest of the Rangers. I had just written two contemporary romantic suspense novels back to back and hadn’t touched a historical novel more than 18 months.

And soon the sweet passion he awoke in Amalie had him cursing the war that forced him to choose between upholding his honor and pledging himself to the woman he loves. Only the look of innocent longing in the eyes of a convent-bred French lass could make him question his vow to escape and return to the Rangers. Though forced to fight for the hated British, Morgan MacKinnon would no more betray the men he leads than slit his own throat-not even when he was captured by the French and threatened with an agonizing death by fire at the hands of their Abenaki allies. They were a band of brothers, their loyalty to one another forged by hardship and battle, the bond between these Highland warriors, rugged colonials, and fierce Native Americans stronger even than blood ties.
