  Amy Rose Bennett
  
  Revenge might be sweet, but love is far sweeter …
  
  Following the Battle of Culloden, Alexander MacIvor returns to his ancestral
  home, Blackloch Castle, only to find the Earl of Tay, chief of the rival Clan
  Campbell, has laid waste to everything he holds dear. In the face of such
  devastation, Alex seems doomed to live the life of a fugitive Jacobite… until
  a stroke of good luck allows him to escape the Highlands and begin again.
  
  Years later, styling himself as a wealthy Englishman, Alexander reclaims his
  forfeited estate, becoming the new Laird of Blackloch. But it’s not nearly
