Another Man's Bride

In a time when even saints face the flames, Isabella Beaufort's visions give her good reason to fear. She tries desperately to keep her gift secret, but when whispers race through the English court that King Henry has been enchanted, Isabella's only hope is to flee north to a marriage arranged by her cousin, Queen Joan of Scotland. No one in the Highlands has more reason to hate the Scottish king than Colyne MacKimzie. Conspiring with King James' enemies at court, Colyne promises to prevent the English lady from reaching her betrothed and expects a high ransom for her release. While holding Isabella captive, Colyne learns her secret, but now he is hiding one of his own-he cannot bear to be parted from this haunted, dark-eyed woman. Colyne knows kidnapping the queen's cousin is one thing, but keeping her invites the wrath of the most powerful men in Scotland. Falling under the fiery chieftain's spell, Isabella is tormented by visions of Colyne killing King James-and her as well. Colyne and Isabella's frantic efforts to alter the future she sees only twist their path closer toward the infamous murder of a king. When the king's men seize Colyne, Isabella must submit to her arranged marriage to save him even as conspirators rise up to seize the Scottish throne. Interwoven with actual historical events, Another Man's Bride is a passionate tale of magic, court intrigue and a love that even fate is powerless to break . . .
