Beauty And the Highlander
“After a fitful sleepless night, Carrick ate without appetite. They broke fast in the great room, his father presiding over the clan like a king on a throne. Angus Gordon sat centered at the high board with Analise's uncle and Declan. Carrick and Analise sat on the opposite end.

"We will go to the chapel shortly," his f...ather announced and waved serving women over to pour ale into their cups.

Analise listened to whatever Declan spoke, but her eyes constantly traveled about the room.MoreLess
