Sneak Peek into The Seduction of the Glen! 




Instead, his winsome brother was able to spread his charm about like leaves dancing off the trees in the autumn wind. Many a lass had fallen to that boyish charm, and John feared Aislynn might be among those numbers.
‘Twas foolish for him to think the lass should fall for his brother’s charms, especially as she still saw herself as a prisoner (one who just tried to escape again, into the MacKay land no less!), but he had to admit he was feeling defeated.
