Publisher's summary

Connor, chieftain of the MacDonalds of Sleat, holds the fate of his people in his hands. Rival clans are plotting to take over his lands, and duty determines whom he will fight, trust... even marry. Seeking guidance, Connor turns to Ilysa, a young lass with the gift of foresight, who reveals an approaching danger - and a passion that burns only for him. But the warrior must make a powerful marriage alliance, and Ilysa's bloodline is far too humble.

With her powers to heal and see evil where others cannot, beautiful Ilysa dresses plainly, speaks softly, and loves her chieftain from afar. Yet when Connor finally stokes the embers of desire that have so long burned within her, Ilysa feels bliss unlike any she's ever known. Now as he is forced to place duty before happiness, Ilysa senses Connor is in grave peril. Can she find a way to prove she is the woman he needs by his side?

I am out of Margaret Mallory’s books!

I have read all that are available through Audible. So sad it is getting increasingly difficult to find good authors and for me she is one of the few.

FANTASTIC!

As usual the combination of Margaret Mallory and Derek Perkins is almost magical. These books absolutely grab my attention from start to finish! So much so that there is almost no reason to waste a review waxing poetic over it, as it is just that DAMN GOOD. If you have experienced one book presented by the talents of these two stars than you already know how good it is, (altho' this one is one of my favorites) And If you haven't yet experienced this pairing then WHAT are you Waiting for?

NARRATOR: Okay, I'll say it one more time.... I could listen to him all night long (oops, I already did, again!).

CREDITWORTHY? YES YES YESSS....!

HEAT FACTOR: Hot, steamy, and tender too.

final novel is the best one

while I really enjoyed.the.first three books with the second being my favorite, this was a wonderful story and I love the relationship between Connor and Ilisa. Nice way to finish the series, but I am sorry it is the end. I would have liked more time with these characters.

The Chieftain

Another great story, found Connor to be more stubborn then Duncan. It seemed to take him a long time to trust the love of his life. The four warriors were great friends and loved each of them.

Great series, Connor got it right!

I have enjoyed each book in this series and was not disappointed by this one. I love the plot and how each story has different twists. I am really going to miss these characters, maybe Neil can get a story of his own!
