title: The MacKintosh Bride
author: Brown, Debra Lee
description: She was brazen, bareback -- and beautiful! But little did Iain Mackintosh, determined laird of a scattered clan, suspect that Alena, the secretive woman who stirred his very blood, was the same gamin girl he'd loved and lost in childhood... and so held the key to his future!
  
  Her brutish betrothal. His marriage alliance. They could never be together, yet Alena knew their hearts beat as one. Still, fear gripped her when she thought of their future. For Iain Mackintosh, her soul's own, had unknowingly vowed to war against her clan -- putting her in a danger as deep as their love!
  
  Heroine: Alena Todd
