The Calling of the Clan (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

Jacob Dare is a Patriot, Lady Catriona a despised Royalist ~ but nothing will keep him from having her. Not the American Revolution or death itself. From somewhere among the colony of North Carolina's Gaelic gentry, twenty-five-year-old backwoodsman Jacob Dare is determined to find a bride to recreate the home that his father's Dare Castle must have been. She would have to be well bred, well read, and gifted with the ability to turn the primitive into the palatial. If she Is favorable to look upon and sweetly dispositioned, that would be even better. The Lady Catriona Kilcairn is desperately seeking to save her familial colonial home from 1776's bloodthirsty insurrectionists, demanding she take the American Oath of Allegiance. Marriage with the backwoods oaf Jacob Dare is her only immediate option, and a most objectionable one, given that her love and loyalty belong to the Sassenach of her youth, the aristocratic Barrett Fairfax.Yet, as the famous Scotsman Sir Walter Scott warned, "Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive!" If you like Outlander, you'll love The Calling of the Clan!

Autor

I am dancing on sunshine that you are visiting my little part of Parris's paradise. I write for the reckless of heart. Not surprisingly, I identify with my novels' characters, both the protagonists AND antagonists. I suffer with their angsts and bewilderments and rejoice in their joys and triumphs. And I believe that if we heroically hold fast to our own vision for ourselves in our journey's confrontations and challenges, then Life WILL manifest our dreams and goals and visions, as it does for my characters in my novels.
