false http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1186329754m/107778.jpg 107778 13 <P> <I>New York Times</I> bestselling author Julie Garwood has captured the hearts of millions of readers worldwide with timeless tales of love and soaring adventure. Now, returning to the enchanting world of her classic love story <I>The Bride,</I> she brings to glorious life the passion, intrigue, and rivalry of medieval Scotland.... <P> Resigned to an arranged marriage to a highland laird she has never met, Lady Brenna journeys from England to Scotland certain she will suffer a loveless marriage. But en route to her betrothed, a rival band of Werce, painted warriors intercept her caravan and demand that she marry their leader -- the handsome, quick-tempered laird Connor MacAlister, the same man she'd repeatedly proposed to as a child while he'd been a visitor to her father's castle. Though Brenna scarcely remembers the secret missives she'd sent to MacAlister declaring her love, she has never forgotten the tall visitor's dazzling, unexpected smile. <P> Now older and wiser, Brenna harbors no illusions that Connor is in love with her -- indeed, after a hasty forest wedding, Connor assures her she can return home once she has borne him a son. Lady Brenna has no idea that her capture is merely the first act of vengeance against her betrothed, Connor's sworn enemy. Determined to be happy, Brenna soon endears herself to most of the MacAlister clan, despite -- or perhaps because of -- her uncanny knack for getting into trouble. And although she comes to adore her brave, superstitious, gentle husband, she has no clue that Connor lives for the moments she whispers "I love you"...words she never meant him to hear. But, as she sets out to win the heart of the brave chieftain, a legacy of revenge ensnares Brenna in a furious clan war -- and only her faith in her gallant husband can save her.... 833455 1996 The Wedding (Lairds' Fiancees, #2) total:1463|5:511|4:491|3:384|2:71|1:6| 1463 5819 1807 64 3 9 false false Fri Sep 04 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Feb 03 10:52:10 -0800 2009 Fri Sep 04 14:29:21 -0700 2009 Julie Garwood that I didn't love.
