Rate this book
To avoid mayhem, she will take a path she never thought she would…


After overthrowing and imprisoning his cruel father, Theodore MacDougal is the new Laird of the MacDougal clan, but he is not even close to gaining the people's trust.

The memories of his father's brutal rule have not faded, and the fear that Theodore will be as savage as him lurks around. Desperate for a solution, Theodore agrees to marry a woman chosen by the people to proclaim his loyalty to them.

Gemma Merrimen was the fiancee of the powerful and feared Laird Fletcher MacSeaver, who abandoned her to wed another lass. She thought she had escaped his claws, but now that Fletcher is widowed, Gemma lives under the fear that he will reclaim her and agrees to do something she'd never thought she would; wed someone willingly.

Highly regarded by everyone, Gemma is chosen to marry the new mysterious Laird Theodore MacDougal, a man she does not trust, but compared to her previous wicked betrothed, the enigmatic Laird looks like the lesser of two evils…

She and Theodore are cautiously circling each other, and sparks of passion ignite, but there are inner demons that keep their hearts at bay. Gemma fears that she might have wed the wrong man, and if that is true, she has doomed not only herself but also her beloved clan.

Wow! So many emotions you feel as you read Highlander's Lesser Evil. Adamina Young soul-stirring story brims with tension building twists, a story filled with characters that are complex and believable that come off the pages and will pull into their tale, with remarkable emotions, it is well-written, with a heartfelt plott, and great dialogue. As the darkness of an sadistic Laird is finally beginning to lift over the clan MacDougal lands, Theo, the new brawny Laird, has to bring his clan back together and to that he must marry. As most see their new Laird Theo as being just like his father, evil and sadistic, Gamma sees something else in him. With Gamma"s help Theo will let the demons of his past free as he opens his heart to Gemma's love.

Another magical story from Adamina Young. The characters were full of emotion and intense feelings. Theo felt the guilt of his evil father and always believed that he would be just like him. Gemma was happy to be independent from her family and had learned to fend for herself. Find out what happens when these two meet.
