The Secret
Judith Hampton was as beautiful as she was proud, as purposeful as she was
loyal. The dear Scottish friend of her childhood was about to give birth, and Judith
had promised to be at her side. But there was another, private reason for the journey
from her bleak English home to the Highlands: to meet the father she had never known,
the Laird Maclean. Nothing prepared her for the sight of the Scottish barbarian who
was to escort her into his land...Iain Maitland, Laird of his clan, a man more
powerfully compelling than any she had ever encountered. In a spirited clash of wills
and customs, Judith reveled in the melting bliss of Iain's searching kisses, his
passionate caresses. Perplexed by her sprightly defiance, bemused by her tender nature,
Iain felt his soul growing into the light and warmth of her love. Surely nothing would
wrench her from the affection and trust of Iain and his clan...not even the truth about
her father, a devastating secret that could shatter the boldest alliance, and the most
glorious loves!
