1. Freeing a Highlander Criminal - Everyone in Scotland fears him. Except for her.
When Barbara MacMillan heard who her new husband would be, she could not believe it! Colin MacKinnon is the most infamous Laird in all of Scotland, a man who built his clan from scratch with nothing but his cunning mind and fearsome war tactics. How can she share a home and a bed with a man like that?
When the two meet, Barbara sees that the rumors which pictured him as devilishly handsome were right, and he is actually much more civilized than she expected. However, her good luck will not last long as Colin and Barbara's uncle go into an intense argument that shocks everyone. That night, both men went to bed, but only one woke up the following day…
Barbara's uncle is nowhere to be found, and the evidence against Colin is more than enough to convict him! Barbara's clan locks him up, but they all know the terrifying truth; Colin's clan will bring war and destruction upon them in a matter of days, whether their Laird is guilty or not.
Barbara finds herself in a dead-end; if she leaves Colin in prison, her clan is doomed, but how can she trust a man who killed her uncle over a simple argument? All she wants is one good reason to doubt that he is the murderer, and after a lot of thinking, she realizes that there is one piece that does not fit the puzzle.
With that in mind, all that is left now is to free the beast, hoping that there is a beating heart within him…
