Anna Markland

Highland Swan Anna Markland

When swans mate, they mate for life. Doctor Ambrose Pendray finds himself agreeing to travel into the Highlands to treat wounded Jacobite rebels. He ends up having to amputate the arm of a rebel betrothed to Eala Calhoun, a woman he is instantly attracted to. Eala (Gaelic for Swan) has been forced into the betrothal. Ambrose draws her like a lodestone, but his honor demands he do everything he can to save his patient's life. Dr. Pendray must save his patient's life, though it means losing the woman he loves. An abridged version of this story previously appeared in the Twelve Days In A Highlander's Arms collection.
