Indie author Amy Jarecki makes her print debut with a brand-new series about rugged Highland lords.<\/p>\n

She’ll put her life on the line for him . . .<\/p>\n

When Akira Ayres finds the brawny Scot with a musket ball in his thigh, the healer has no qualms about doing whatever it takes to save his life. Even if it means fleeing with him across the Highlands to tend to his wounds while English redcoats are closing in. Though Akira is as fierce and brave as any of her clansmen, even she’s intimidated by the fearsome, brutally handsome Highlander who refuses to reveal his name.<\/p>\n

Yet she can never learn his true identity.<\/p>\n

Geordie knows if Akira ever discovers he’s the Duke of Gordon, both her life and his will be forfeit in a heartbeat. The only way to keep the lass safe is to ensure she’s by his side day and night. But the longer he’s with her, the harder it becomes to think of letting her go. Despite all their differences, despite the danger-he will face death itself to make her his . . .<\/p>\n

HIGHLAND DUKE excerpt<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Curled under Geordie\u2019s arm, Akira finally stopped shivering. All around them rain splashed. Everything was soaked and their little alcove smelled of horse\u2014not a horrid smell, but not one she\u2019d choose for her boudoir, either. If she had a boudoir.<\/p>\n

She chose to ignore the voice in the back of her head telling her it wasn\u2019t proper to allow a strange man to put his arm around her shoulders and offer her warmth. But there was something in the way Geordie looked at her that made her feel all warm inside and, moreover, protected. Aye, he\u2019d been in a great deal of pain\u2014was still in great pain\u2014but since he roused from his last bout of unconsciousness, he\u2019d behaved admirably. He\u2019d brought the horse under control, figured out where they were, and formed a plan to take them to someone he could trust to provide her with an escort home.<\/p>\n

With darkness, the air grew colder. Clutching her fists under her chin, Akira curled into Geordie\u2019s heat. He smoothed his palm along her outer arm, his touch soothing.<\/p>\n

When he turned his lips toward her, his warm breath skimmed across her forehead. \u201cTry to sleep.\u201d The gentle burr of his voice imparted all the more comfort.<\/p>\n

But she couldn\u2019t get too comfortable; she must to do her duty. He was still her patient. \u201cI\u2019m the healer. I should be telling you to do the same.\u201d<\/p>\n

His hazel gaze drifted to her mouth, and he grinned.<\/p>\n

\u201cVery well.\u201d He pulled his arm away, but not before running his fingers across her back. Blessed tingles spread over her skin as if she\u2019d been caressed by feathers. Oh, heaven help her, his touch was unbelievably sublime. If only she could ask him to run his fingers back and forth again\u2014just one more time.<\/p>\n

She reached for the hem of his kilt, then quickly snapped her fingers away. What had she been thinking? True, she\u2019d applied the salve before, but that was when he was mostly unconscious and definitely before he\u2019d put his arm around her shoulder and smiled at her like a\u2026like a\u2026brawny Highlander.<\/p>\n

\u201cHave you gone shy, lass?\u201d he asked with a hint of humor in his deep brogue.<\/p>\n
