The series is the story of three strong women and their Scottish warriors/husbands.Three brothers must rebuild their clan's fortress as well as their fortune which was demolished in a vicious attack by a family enemy - i.e Duncan Cameron.  This same enemy is anxious to overthrow the King of Scotland.In Book 1, the oldest brother and Chieftan of the Clan, Ewan, finds himself in a sitution where he can and does marry the niece of the King as a way of securing the clan's fortune.  For Miriam, the marriage has mutual benefits as she fears harm from Cameron as well.  Neither could have anticipated they would fall happily in love.Book 2 continues the saga with focus on the second brother Alaric who has been pledged to wed the daughter of a neighboring clan as a way of solidifying a treaty and two armies.  Through happenstance, Alaric meets a healer which captures his heart and their poignant love story  is told with dignity, love and tenderness in Book 2.The third brother, Caelen, whose folly led to the destruction of the fort and fortunes redeems himself by taking Alaric's place and marrying the neighbor's daughter.  Rhianna is the epitome of a liberated woman and in spite of Caelen's chauvenistic tendencies is able to save the two clans, prevent the overthrow of the King and kill the lecherous Duncan Cameron.  The most heartwarming segment of this book comes when Caelen acknowledges his wife's strength and importance.This is a series which is commensurate with the best selling FIFTY SHADES OF GREY as it lovingly incorporates the sexual enounters of the three couples.  To fully appreciate the story, it is important to read the entire series in sequence.
