توضیحات
Handpicked by Robert the Bruce to help him in his quest to free Scotland from English rule, the elite warriors of the Highland Guard face their darkest days. When Bruce is forced to flee, his bid for freedom rests on the shoulders of one extraordinary warrior.
Erik MacSorley is a brilliant seafarer who has never encountered a wind he could not harness or a woman he could not win-until he drags a wet, half-naked "nursemaid" out of the waters off the Irish coast. Ellie's ordinary appearance belies the truth: She is in fact Lady Elyne de Burgh, the spirited daughter of the most powerful noble in Ireland.
Worse, this irresistible woman is determined to prove herself immune to Erik's charms-a challenge he cannot resist.
Her captor may look every inch a rugged warrior, but Ellie vows that it will take more than a wickedly suggestive caress to impress her. Yet Erik will sweep away Ellie's resistance with a desire that resonates deep within her heart. Still, he is a man driven by loyalty, and she is a woman with secrets that could jeopardize Bruce's chance to reclaim his throne. As the battle for king and country sounds across the shores, will Ellie's love be enough to finally tame the legend known as the Hawk?
Surrender to the pleasure of this novel from the Highland Guard series "From the Paperback edition."

The second book in the series The Highlander Guard, tells the story of forbidden love between Ellie and Erik or Hawk, call it what you like. I loved them. And I identified a lot with Ellie. I fell in love with the Hawk and his relaxed way, but at the same time very cunning. He reminded me of Cassian and Leo Valdez, two characters I love so much. So there was no way not to love him too. I loved the scenarios in which the story took place. Unlike the first book, this one explores other places, some even outside Scotland, such as the northern coast of Ireland, which would now be Northern Ireland. The question of the Scottish revolt is also further developed in this book. And while I know a little bit of the true story, I'm rooting for their success. The only thing I think I didn't really like was that, in my opinion, the ending was a bit rushed. I didn't enjoy how the author solved the problem, but that's ok, that didn't make me dislike the book. I'm looking forward to reading the Ranger storey and immersing myself even more in their world.
