The Bride of Black Douglas (Mackinnon-Douglas, Bk 1)
reviewed on


Lady Meleri Weatherby is desperate to escape the unthinkable; marriage to a man she does not love, a man she knows to be unspeakably cruel. In a bold move, shebreaks off her betrothal to Lord Philip and flees her in Northumberland, vowing to marry the first man she meets, never considering the consequences of such a show of independence.

Robert Douglas has been dealt and equeally dark hand by fate, the proud Scot must take an English bride or lose his ancestral home and noble name. It seems an impossible situation, until destiny puts him in the path of a strong-willed English lass with a will to survive that equals his own.

Marriage is an ideal salvation for both. Meleri will be safe from her vengeful finance in Beloyn Castle with the Douglas clan, and Robert will be able to keep all he holds dear. But neither has bargained on a heartless man who will go to any lengths to seek revenge, the tenacity of a stubborn ghost and the most powerful force of all: love.
