A Soldier's Salvation Forever seeking salvation… Rodric Anderson isn't a soldier anymore. Nay, many would refer to him as a mercenary-a soldier for hire. He's embroiled in a Duncan clan matter. He's also hunted by the authorities, wanted by women, and tied to none. He's a part of a band of brothers, all former soldiers, some outlaws, all who make themselves available for the right coin-sometimes, the right cause. One woman has caught his eye. A shrew of a woman. Why was it he could not get her out of his mind? Caitlin's hand has been given in marriage by her wretch of a stepfather to a man who is no less a wretch himself.

Enter Iona Douglas, who brings complications in spades. This stubborn Englishwoman has inherited Scottish Highland property. She scandalously refuses to follow rules or suggestions.

Colin’s problem is figuring out how to keep the lass alive when she seems hell bent on ending up dead. A Highlander’s Love Dougal Craig might have been amused regarding his reputation as a highwayman/ruffian/bandit, when actually, he's nothing of the sort. He just likes his privacy and it doesn't take much for rumors to start. He doesn't bother to deny them. More the better so people leave him alone. He's anti-social but not unfriendly, so he typically shrugs off the opinions of others. He lives quietly out on the moors, taking care of any trouble that comes his way with his guns or his swords.

But can Keir convince Al to share that life with him before she walks away forever?
