Highlander’s Sweet Poison by Adamina Young

Only a mad man would give in to a temptation like her. Or a very brave one…

For Jillian, the past couple of years have been a living hell. Since her husband’s death, the whole MacSeaver clan has blamed her for it, and her only protection came from her father-in-law, Laird MacSeaver.

But now that he’s gone, she knows she can not rely on the new laird, Graeme MacSeaver. Graeme is a man who has seen her at her lowest, and to make things worse, he awakens desires she thought were long past dormant. Having no other choice, she decides to get away from the clan that has been her home, and the only man she wants to be close to.

Graeme has too much on his mind as a new Laird to worry about his cousin’s widow, especially since he believes, like everyone else, that she bewitched her husband into madness and death. Even so, he can not get her alluring nature off of his mind, just like a sweet-tasting poison that he wants to taste even if he knows it will destroy him.

When the clan demands the retribution for his cousin’s death, something Graeme has long been avoiding, he has no choice but to order Jillian back. Unable to fulfill his people’s wishes, he can only think of one way to protect her; marry the devilish woman.

However, nothing is what it seems, and as this Highlander slowly falls for the seductive beauty, the romance may be short-lived as treachery and dreadful secrets await in the shadows for the right moment to strike and destroy them.
