Highland Fling by Amanda Scott
Scotland, 1750. In the aftermath of the Jacobite rebellion, Maggie MacDrumin vows to keep fighting to liberate her people. But the intrepid Scotswoman is risking her life for a dangerous cause. When her latest mission lands her in a London courtroom on a trumped-up larceny charge, she has only one hope of survival. Enlisting the aid of Edward Carsley, the powerful fourth Earl of Rothwell, is a double-edged sword. The seductive aristocrat who awakens treacherous desire is her clan’s mortal enemy—a man she can never trust.
The Fatal Crown by Ellen Jones
Against the seething political intrigues of twelfth-century Europe, two royal heirs will surrender to passion as they vie for the most glittering, treacherous prize of all: the English throne.
At nine, Maud, an English princess, was sent to Germany to become the bride of the Holy Roman Emperor—a political alliance with a man her father’s age. At twenty-five, the widowed Maud must marry once again, this time to fourteen-year-old Geoffrey Plantagenet. But it is with Stephen of Blois, Maud’s fiercest rival for the British throne, that the headstrong princess discovers the true meaning of desire.
Garden of Lies by Eileen Goudge
In Goudge’s blockbuster classic, a new mother’s desperate decision sets in motion a dramatic series of events leading to an epic romance.
Sylvie wants to be a good wife to Gerald, who offers her the privileged life she could only dream of when she was growing up. When they were wed eight years ago, the country was in the throes of the Depression, and she thought she’d made the right choice. She wants to please her new husband, and bear his children. But no matter how hard she tries, she cannot give him her whole heart.
She thinks something is wrong with her until Nikos, the earthy Greek handyman, shows her what real passion is—and gives her a child. Sylvie knows Gerald will never accept the newborn girl, with her black eyes and dark hair, and she despairs until a fire in the hospital gives her a way out. In the confusion, she switches her daughter with that of another, a bold act that resonates through the decades and culminates in one of the most passionate love stories portrayed in contemporary fiction.
