Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine. I hold mine bi-weekly. So this week, I want to share with you a series and author I love.

I'm waiting on Margaret Mallory's The Warrior in her Return of the Highlanders series. The first two books were hot, hot, hot and very well written. Not to mention absolutely devastating. I mean, I fell in love with Alex from The Sinner. He's one of my imaginary boyfriends. So am I excited? Yes!! Duncan has always been the secretive bunch of this group, clearly has ex-girlfriend issues, as in I'm still in love with my ex-girlfriend and won't look at another woman ever issues. And the fact that this is historical romance taking place in the Scottish highlands just makes this even better. I have a serious infatuation going on with highlander romances. Before I get too carried away here, here's the summary from the author's site.

From the Isle of Skye to the battlefields of France, Duncan MacDonald has never escaped the memory of the true love he left behind. Deemed unworthy of a chieftain's daughter, Duncan abandoned the lovely Moira to prove his worth in battle. Now, when called upon to rescue her from a rival clan, one thing is certain: Moira's pull on his heart is stronger than ever.

Bartered away in marriage to a violent man, Moira will do anything to ensure she and her son survive. When a rugged warrior arrives to save her, the desperate beauty thinks her prayers have been answered—until she realizes it's Duncan. The man who once broke her heart is now her only hope. Moira vows never again to give herself—or reveal her secrets—to the fierce warrior, but as they race across the sea, danger and desire draw them ever closer.
