REBEL By Julianne MacLeanPrequel to the Highlander SeriesWhat got me interested in this was that it's about castles and sword fighting andbased in 1700's. Alex is in the middle of a battle when he's approached by a lad andthe lad takes a swipe at his thigh. He uses his sword and attacks him only to find outthat it's a female.Elizabeth wakes up in pain and knows she must get back to Argyll's camp. She does not likeScotland at all. He comes and gives her whiskey for her pain and finds out it's 10pm, she'sslept the day away when he didn't even know if she'd survive at all.He allows her food and finds out that she's there to take revenge for her father and brotherdying in the rebellion. Problem is he's looked at her and has fallen in love with her looksand her wit.Others learn she is there and want to return her to her village as a spy. Alex won't allowthat to happen, she's under his protection now and he will see her back to the only livingrelative she has, her uncle.On their journey they talk a lot and find out about each others families and interests.She now sees him as one who loves his family and wishes him no harm. He returns her and leaves til 5 months later he is back and proposes to her because she is all he ever thinks about.Sounds like a good series and the time frame is ideal.
