The Country Wife (Scottish Love Songs, #2)

Overview: Multi-published Temple Hogan loves a good mystery. She lives with her husband, three cats and a naughty Shih Tzu on a Northern lake. Her interests are reading mysteries and romances, action movies, boating, swimming, gardening, painting in acrylics and watercolor, and cooking. She is also published in other genres. Besides a good mystery, she loves pirate stories. Callum MacAlister has been awarded lands by the king for his service in battle against Scotlands enemies, but now Callum must find a way to overcome Robert Lister who has claimed the lands as his. On his way to his new castle, Callum is set upon and wounded by roadmen who would have killed Callum if not for Lilli Hardy who helps him hide in her fathers croft on Tollis Hill. With her brothers child under her protection, Lilli MacGregor hides out as Lilli Hardy as she tries to outrun the men of Archibald Campbell who wish to kill her brother, Edwards, baby. As if she hadn't problems enough of her own, she finds herself with the wounded new laird. Lilli nurses him back to health and tries not to succumb to the feelings he awakens in her. But his advances are the least of her problems as more men coming looking for not just her, but the nobleman who threatens to steal her heart.
