When the great clans of Scotland shed blood for honor, Kathlyn surrendered to a dangerous love! She was the daughter of a powerful laird; a proud, wild beauty. The one man who could turn her fiery eyes as soft as the Highland mist was Alex Lindsay, a fierce warrior, passionate lover, and sworn enemy of her clan. His strength, as she ran into his arms, gave her the courage to defy her family. Before she again voiced her concern, he silenced her with a fierce and hungry kiss. “Come Lass,” he whispered. “The night is nearly done, and I fear we both tempt fate too often with our meeting.” Pausing, Kathlyn turned to him with one last question. “How much do you love me, Alex?” His look was one of many emotions. “I would give my life for you, Kathlyn, if you remain true. If you do not,” he said, holding her shoulders in his hands and looking deep within her soul, “If you do not I think I would take your life…”

Still licking her wounds from a failed relationship, medical research scientist Elle Grant really doesn’t feel like joining her best friend on a trip home to Scotland. Her vacation gets off to a bad start when a sudden storm causes her to careen off a highland roundabout and total her rental car. Things get worse when she realizes that "Captain Control"--the arrogant highland police officer who rescues her-- is her best friend’s big brother. Officer Conall Cameron prides himself on being no-nonsense and professional, but all that goes out the window the moment he meets the stubborn American beauty. She might get away with sassing police officers in the States, but not with him. Though she insists she can wait for the tow truck alone, it’s his sworn duty to keep her safe. Whether she likes it or not, Dr. Elleanor Grant won’t be going anywhere without him. When Elle and Conall stumble through a hiccup in time, fate forces them to replay a heart-wrenching family history that occurred over two hundred years ago. Will they find common ground and recognize love for what it truly is?

From droving to driving, heilan coos to long horns, "Highland Cowboys" explores the links between the two cattle cultures of Scotland and America through music, song, dance, and folklore. The vast number of Scots who emigrated to North America, whether through forcible eviction during the Highland Clearances or voluntarily in the hope of a better life, has been well documented. With them they took their culture, their language, their music and their skills. Cattle droving in Scotland was an established profession from the 16th century, and many such migrants took cowboy jobs in the American West. The medium of music paints a vivid picture of their social and personal lives, and describes a mutual exchange as music crossed and re-crossed the Atlantic creating strong links between the old culture and the new. This unique exploration of the cowboy culture sheds new light on the everyday life of the cattle communities.

The Great Hunger in nineteenth-century Ireland was a major human tragedy of modern times. Almost a million perished and a further two million emigrated in the wake of potato blight and economic collapse. Acute famine also gripped the Scottish Highlands at the same time, causing misery, hardship and distress. The story of that lesser known human disaster is told in this prize-winning and internationally acclaimed book. The author describes the classic themes of highland and Scottish history, including the clearances, landlordism, crofting life, emigration and migration in a subtle and intricate reconstruction based on a wide range of sources. This book should appeal to all those with an interest in Scottish history, the emigration of Scottish people and the Highland Clearances.
