Highlander's Bride is a sweet, beautiful romance telling the tale of Katherine Gordon and Alexander MacGregor and their journey to a 'happily ever after'.Katherine's life, as she knows it, is in danger; thinking it will keep her safe her parents arrange for her to marry Alexander MacGregor, the son of Angus Gordon's dear friend, Ian MacGregor.  Having never met each other, neither Katherine nor Alexander are pleased with this arrangement.  Both desire a marriage brought about by love.Alexander has been tricked by a childhood friend into thinking he may owe her his name even though he does not share her feelings.  Katherine believes she is in love with Sir Daniel Linden, who has promised to come for her as soon as he feels his wealth has increased sufficiently to make a good life for them.Katherine tries, unsuccessfully, to convince her parents to release her from the betrothal to Alexander and allow her to wait for Daniel, and Alexander tries to convince his father that the arranged marriage is doomed and he should be allowed to find his own bride and wed for love.  Both parents hold firm and, realizing they have no choice but to go through with their arranged marriage, the two finally meet. They are immediately attracted to each other but, out of stubbornness, are unwilling to acknowledge it.They do not trust each other and are very susceptible to the interference and trickery of the two people in their lives who do not want their union to take place.  We learn who wants to destroy their fragile, budding relationship and what the danger to Katherine is.  There are many misunderstandings and trials for Katherine and Alexander to endure and overcome before they come to the realization of their true desires.I am a lover of all things Highlander and this book definitely did not disappoint.  These characters latched onto my heart immediately and never let go.  At times Katherine's naivete irritated me and Alexander's refusal to admit his feelings to himself drove me to distraction but I could not put this book down.  I needed to know what would become of these two and their loyal friends and families.  This is another great read by Deborah Gafford and I wholeheartedly recommend it.
