Never Seduce a Scot (The Montgomerys and Armstrongs, #1)

she could feel the vibrations, but also, there were certain sounds—not many—that she could actually hear. Deep-timbred voices. Nothing high or shrill. Nothing normal or monotone. But every once in a while, she experienced fleeting hearing.

’Tis all? She doesn’t speak?” Some husbands would be grateful for such a gift.

As soon as she made her presence known, the others looked her way, and it was then she saw that Graeme’s lips were moving. It was him she was hearing!

You are receiving a gift, Laird. Whether you choose to believe so or not, you are receiving something more precious than gold.”

She may not be a mighty warrior, but one thing she’d learned after observing her mother, was that if anything could fell a warrior, it was a determined woman.

He was holding in his arms the woman meant for him. Nothing would ever feel this right if he lived to be a hundred.

“The little fool,” Graeme bit out. “What would I do without her? I can’t lose her.”

But now she was his. And nothing or no one would ever come between them. Not her family. Not his clan.

He wasn’t ever going to give her up without one hell of a fight.

“I love you, Eveline,” he whispered, though he knew she could not hear him. “Somehow, I’ll make you hear me and you’ll know that I love you as fiercely as it’s possible for a man to love a woman.”

“My love for her is stronger than my hatred of you. ’Tis why I’ll not raise arms against you today. Instead I ask your aid in the battle against the McHughs.”

“My lady, I don’t simply care for her. I love her. She is my entire life. Without her, I am nothing. I have nothing.”

She smiled, a more beautiful sight than Graeme had ever seen in his life. “I knew you’d come,” she whispered in a hoarse voice.

“You love me,”

“He loves me!”

“I LOVE YOU!”

“Aye, I know it, wife. And the whole of Scotland likely knows it now, too.”
