The Ghosts of Culloden Moor Series by L.L. Muir, Kelli Ann Morgan, Diane Darcy, The Ghosts of Culloden Moor

THE GATHERING is an introduction to a series of romantic Highlander ghost stories. You'll want to read this before the individual warriors come along. (It's got a wee romance of its own.) Soncerae is a Muir Witch with impressive power. But is she strong enough to save the souls of 79 young warriors who cannot escape the moors of Culloden? She tempts them with the revenge they seek but hopes she can prove to them that a heart's desire can mean so much more. LACHLAN is next.

Lachlan McLean is the first to step forward to accept the Muir Witch's dare. A quickly accomplished act of bravery, and he'll be free to exact his revenge. But plans go amiss when a certain lass refuses to be saved. It’s not just Harper’s trust fund that’s in danger—it’s her life. Her despicable stepfather only has to keep her healthy until he gets control of her money, and he’s happy to kill anyone who tries to aid her... moreLachlan McLean is the first to step forward to accept the Muir Witch's dare. A quickly accomplished act of bravery, and he'll be free to exact his revenge. But plans go amiss when a certain lass refuses to be saved. It’s not just Harper’s trust fund that’s in danger—it’s her life. Her despicable stepfather only has to keep her healthy until he gets control of her money, and he’s happy to kill anyone who tries to aid her. So she’s on the run and determined to stay on her own—that way no one else has to die. But a lunatic in a kilt decides she needs a hero, and he’s not easy to ditch. If Harper can’t get it through his head that he’s a liability, she’ll be planting another bodyguard in the ground. And if Lachlan can’t get the woman to stand back and let him fight the Highland way—which he couldn’t do at Culloden—he’ll have haunted the battlefield for two hundred seventy years for nothing. JAMIE is next. NOTE ABOUT THE SERIES: Although the individual stories of Culloden’s 79 need not be read in strict order, The Gathering should definitely be read first in order to know what’s going on between the Muir Witch and these Highland warriors from 1745. The Reckoning, Number 79’s story, will finish the series. less

But more importantly, he must prove to the spirit of young Rabby there is nothing to fear by moving on. Chelsea is a runaway bride. It’s humiliating, really.

Unfortunately for her, she gets stuck in a Scottish hunting lodge with a guy who can make her perfect bridegroom seem lacking. Or is he just a phantom of her psyche? Either way, she needs to keep her distance or no man in her life…will ever be man enough. RABBY's short story comes next. less

“I hope this doesnae alarm ye,” he said, “but a verra, verra long while ago, I would have been considerably more interested in the gems around yer neck than in yer kisses.” “My kisses?” The sparkle in her eyes and the roses on her cheeks led him to believe she had missed his confession altogether. “And now?” He stared at her lips outright until he was certain she knew the answer.

After a moment he set the spoon on the counter and turned to face her. Actually, he gaped at her, which made the heat rushing into her face flame hot. He swallowed. "Ye wish to marry me?" While wishing upon a star, Allison King tells the universe she needs a fiancé just to take to her family reunion. Unfortunately--or is it?--she forgot to say "fake". When she hits highland-ghost-turned-mortal-man Kenrick Macfie with her truck and he refuses to go to the hospital, she takes him home with her instead--just to keep an eye on him, of course. The charismatic, handsome warrior would be perfect to take to the reunion, if only she can work up the nerve to ask. The problem is, the more she learns about him, the more real she wants their relationship to be. Kenrick Macfie can't believe it when he finds a short-term home with the girl of his dreams. The home, the girl--even the dogs--are exactly what he's been yearning for since his child died and his faithless wife left him for another without a second thought. He knows the dream life is temporary, but his feelings are not. Allison quickly fills the giant hole in his heart. He knows his stay is fleeting, but if this is his only chance at love, he's taking it. *** FINLAY IS NEXT! less
