title: The Maid Of Lorne
author:  Terri Brisbin 
description: It's either wed or dead, so Lara MacDougall, the Maid of Lorne, chooses marrying Sebastien of Cleish as the lesser of two evils. After routing Lara's father in battle, Sebastien had been given orders by Robert the Bruce to secure Dunstaffnage Castle, Lara's home. Using Lara's two younger siblings as hostages, Sebastien convinces Lara to throw open the gates. Once inside, he states his ultimatum: marry him or be dead by nightfall. Lara vows to do her best to become a thorn in the side of her new husband. At first, she refuses to be seduced by Sebastien's kind words and soft touches, but as she gets to know her enemy better, Lara finds it more and more difficult to betray the man with whom she is falling in love. With her usual superb sense of characterization and exceptional gift for creating sizzling sexual chemistry, Brisbin fashions a splendidly satisfying medieval historical that deftly explores the themes of trust and love. <i>John Charles</i><br /><i>Copyright  American Library Association.
