Bethia, Alison, Kadick & Glorie (Marti Talbott's Highlander #4)

BETHIA: Two years earlier, Bethia left home to visit her beloved English aunt. But when she came back she found the MacGreagor home she grew up in burned to the ground. It was Hannish, the love she left behind, who found her. But Bethia had secrets -- two Englishmen were chasing her and she was in possession of a stolen necklace. Scotland offered her sanctuary, but did she come back too late for love?

ALISON: As hard as she tried not to, Alison was falling in love with Ben, a man who loved animals as much as she did. But Comine MacDuff wanted a wife and once he saw Alison, he was certain she was the one. He was also certain the MacGreagor giants would never let her go. Kidnapping her was the only answer but finding her alone became a game he could not seem to win.

KADICK: When Kadick announced she was leaving a clan full of unmarried men to find a husband in England, she instantly had everyone’s attention. Then some of the men decided to go with her to find wives and because they spoke no English, Greer and Neil went with them. But on the way back, Kadick’s off-handed comment made Neil panic -- he had too many people, not enough horses to get them home quickly and he just learned the clan had an arsonist living among them.

GLORIE: If what Laird MacGreagor suspected was true, the whole clan was in danger and he needed to get home fast. But he had too many people and not enough horses to move them quickly. At first Glory was smitten with Moan, but Burk had other ideas. Then Glorie made a mistake that put her at odds with the clan's laird and threatened her happiness.
