Possessesd by the Highlander by Terri Brisbin

When Marian Robertson, the Robertson Harlot” reputation was been destroyed to protect family secrets she was forced into a quiet and lonely existence. Her only true joy coming from her time with her daughter. of others. Her life is turned up side down when Duncan MacLerie, the Peacemaker, arrives on Robertson land to negotiate a treaty with the MacLerie's. When Duncan is manipulated into a marriage with Marian to complete the task put before him Duncan marries the Robertson Harlot without hesitation. But he will not trust her until he knows why this marriage has been forced upon him. In the midst of secrets love blooms. Will the love protect them as secrets that could destroy all are revealed.

Possessed by the Highlander is a quick read filled with drama and secrets. Though the writing itself dragged a bit the story and the budding romance between Marian and Duncan kept me interested. Their growing love seems to surprise them both for their minds are always wrapped in the secret of Marian's past. I enjoyed watching these two fight a love that was obviously not going away. The romance was sweet and hot at the same time. The secret was like another character in this book. It followed them everywhere and dictated all of their action. You will find yourself reading just to meet (or learn) the secret.
