"The
truth shall set you free" seems highly unlikely for noblewoman
Gwenyth Comyn. Held captive and stripped of her lands and title,
she could falsely accuse Adam Mackintosh of assault—thereby gaining
her freedom. But she's discovered she loves him! A riveting story
of betrayal and intrigue on the medieval Scottish Highlands.

The
Price of Freedom
They
have been cast together by forces beyond their control. Forces that
neither of them are sure they can trust. Though he is the kingdom's
fiercest fighter, the atrocities he's witnessed in Scotland's struggle
for independence has shaken his faith. She is a spirited noblewoman
who has lost her protector and whose fervent prayers have gone unanswered,
yet who cannot ignore the warrior in her way. Is this God's provision
for her or another test to endure? As their country prepares for
its ultimate battle, the countess and the war-scarred knight forge
a common ground, and hope stirs within them both. He will find healing
for his wounded faith. She will discover that God's mysterious ways
can be trusted. And together they will learn that some things in
life require a price worth paying.

The
Mark of Salvation
Yesterday
she was an English earl's wife, eagerly anticipating a glorious
victory over the upstart Scots and a new home on a Scottish estate.
Today she's a widow, hostage of the Scottish king, watched over
by the most unusual and reluctant of guardians. For years he was
a warrior monk who fought for his beloved church. Today he's simply
a weary warrior with a haunted past and a price on his head. And
he has no clue how to care for the group of female hostages entrusted
to him after battle-especially the sad-eyed widow with the golden
braid. The two of them weave an unlikely friendship and an even
unlikelier love. She returns to England to protect a family inheritance.
He stays to wrestle the demons of his past. But when danger looms,
he'll have to face his deepest fears to come to her aid. Even more
difficult is living with the hope she has sparked in him after a
lifetime of bitterness. After years of failure and faithlessness...could
he still bear THE MARK OF SALVATION?

Many warriors have returned to their families and their lands. But they remain vigilant, ready to ride to battle for their king, Robert the Bruce. Young Keifer McNab has been sent away to live with a foster family until he is old enough to assume his position as “laird of the clan.” Though the daughter of Keifer’s new family will go to great lengths to assure him of her love and friendship, he is bitter. Bitter at not having a father to guide and train him. Bitter at having to accept a hard lot in life. Keifer is tested further when he is betrayed by someone he trusts and grievously wounded. He will need steady faith and unconditional love to convince him that something better awaits. Will hope come to him in time? Will THE PROMISE OF PEACE ever be more than a dream for himself and his country?
