Rob laid the things aside and shook his head, watching her sleep there.
What kind of woman would run away when given the news of her impending marriage? Especially a marriage that would hold benefits for both families involved?
She shifted on the furs and mumbled some words in her sleep. Though he could blame some of her restlessness in sleep on her illness and fever, she never seemed to be at peace when she slept. She called out names, mostly just one, throughout the time when sleep claimed her.
Something was wrong here. Very wrong.
If she did not know him, or the Mackintoshes, then they could not be the reason for her refusal to accept the marriage. Yet she had done the unthinkable and left the safety and protection of her father’s keep to avoid it. Was it just maidenly fear or something more?
Though clearly fear was not something that seemed to rule her life if she was brave enough to do what she’d done …
I knew halfway through writing Stolen by the Highlander that Rob Mackintosh would have his story told next. He was quite vocal, and rather loud, and … ahem … insistent about it, really. So it did not surprise me when I wrote the epilogue and he told me how to set up his book!
Rob has become used to people wanting to use his influence with his friend and chieftain Brodie since their clan triumphed over treachery. So the fact that someone doesn’t want him is a shock to him.
Eva has her own problems, which have come from youthful follies and falling in love with the wrong man. She is certain that Rob is not the right man and now is not the right time. So she runs away for many reasons.
Two proud people who fall in love in spite of themselves. Sigh … I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!
Next? Well, since the feuding between the clans Mackintosh and Cameron lasted more than three hundred years, I’ve got lots of ideas and stories planned.
Happy reading!
PS I’ve wanted to use the name Eva for a heroine ever since seeing the film WALL-E. There is a Gaelic form, but it would have had you all tripping over it every time you saw it on the page. So I compromised and used Eva—but, FYI, the original form is ‘Aoife’ pronounced ‘Ee-fa’ or ‘Ee-va’ … So it worked for me!

This story is dedicated to friends and writing brainstormers extraordinaire Jen Wagner Schmidt and Lyn Wagner.
I began this story knowing only that the bride would be kidnapped on her wedding day and little else. With their pointed and relentless questions I ended up with an entire story plotted out. And I will always be grateful for their help!
