Highland Champion (Camerons Series 2)
by Hannah Howell[ Romance ]
Bestselling Author Hannah Howell spins a masterful tale of glory, honor and passion in this sweeping adventure of a proud woman who refuses to believe in love--and the fiery Scotsman determined to change her mind... Liam Cameron is certain he's died and gone to heaven when he opens his eyes to the angel before him. But the pain that wracks his body proves he is still earth-bound. Keira Murray MacKail saved Liam's life--and he has some enticing ways he would like to thank her. Soon, lust gives way to a feeling much more profound for a woman whose battles he wants to fight...though he fears the most difficult one will be for her heart... Keira quickly learns that Liam has danger chasing him. As her healing kindness frees him to tell his tale, she confides the trouble that plagues her: she is a laird's widow now responsible for saving a small village pillaged by cruel invaders. But even as Liam makes the crusade to reclaim her lands his own, he will face a far greater challenge to win her trust--and her love--for all time...

Liam nearly growled in response to Keira's unspoken challenge, his whole body taut with the need to taste again the sweet heat of her mouth. For reasons he did not even dare to guess at, Keira was not going to retreat. It was his chance to show her the passion they could share.
The first touch of his lips against hers made Keira feel so hot and needy, she had to clutch at his broad shoulders to steady herself. She heard him groan softly and felt him wrap his strong arms around her. The feel of his lean body pressed so close made Keira shiver with delight.
Why not? her reckless self whispered in her mind. Who would know? Did she not deserve a little joy? Why not grab a little pleasure while she could, fleeting though it might be...
