The Trouble With Highlanders (2012)
“Daphne lectured herself while dressing the next morning. Aye, she should be very pleased.
So why was she frustrated?
She realized she wasn’t just frustrated. As she hurried off to church, excitement was pooling in her belly. The bell was tolling, calling the inhabitants of the tower to Mass. She lifted her chin, gathering the poise that had eluded her since Norris’s arrival. If the man was still on MacLeod land, she didn’t need him seeing proof that he unsettled her.
The church was ...full, and she made her way down to the front. Father Peter turned and eyed her sternly for being among the last to enter the sanctuary. But something pulled the priest’s attention away from her. She turned to see Norris and his retainers marching down the aisle. The MacLeods made way for them, pressing tightly against one another to make the aisle wider.
