ARDY IS BACK!!!! I spotted Lizzy and Ardy today sunning themselves on their favorite rock. It is so nice to see him back. I also spotted a little fella hanging out on his own smaller rock. Maybe son or daughter?? OHHH… we have to name her/ him. Let’s be honest. We will never know if they smaller lizard is a boy or girl. Those little fellas are fast, and even if I caught one, I wouldn’t know the first thing about figuring out the sex of a lizard. I will NOT Google it either. We all know the dangers of that.
The Fearless Highlander (Highland Defender Book 1)
by Amy Jarecki
Genre: Romance
FREE for a limited time
Heir to the most notorious clan in the Highlands, Hugh MacIain hides his identity while imprisoned in the bowels of Fort William’s hell. Aye, this braw warrior has endured horrors that should have seen him dead, though now it appears it’s the bloody flux that will send him to Satan’s fire.
Optimistic, competent, and captivating, Charlotte Hill takes pity on a fevered prisoner sprawled atop a cot in the fort’s surgery. When finally the Highlander opens his eyes, he seizes her heart with a pained stare. Truly, this is no commoner — but in 1692, a warrior loyal to the Jacobite cause and the daughter of a government colonel may as well be worlds apart.
After his escape, Hugh snatches a chance to woo the lass, until disaster strikes. While war and lust for vengeance force Charlotte further from Hugh’s arms, the couple’s romance seems aimlessly adrift on the open sea. Before they sail too far apart, can the tender love of an English lady coax a determined Highlander from his path of revenge?
