From the Back Cover
Excerpt - To Love a Highland Laird
"Logan, my boy, ye sign here." Artair Rutherford pointed to an empty space below his and Laird Roderick Findlay's bold, slanted signature.
Och, cow turds.
Despite his frustration, Logan obediently propped his battered toy sword against the table's leg. After carefully dipping the quill into the inkwell, he lifted his uncertain gaze to his father.
"My full name, Da?"
"Aye, Son."
"And when I do, it means I must wed her? When I'm a mon?" He pointed the quill at a wee lassie in an elaborate wooden cradle, gnawing on her wet fist.
"Aye, lad." Inclining his head, Da patted Logan's shoulder, the gesture more prodding than reassuring. "She'll be yer wife."
Logan sucked in his cheeks and crimped his mouth, mutinously. "I dinna want to marry her."
What need have I for a wife? Da disna have one.
"Ye're no' actually marryin' her right now, Son," Da cajoled gently. "Ye're just agreein' to later, when ye're both adults."
That brought Logan a little relief. "I still dinna want to."
"It's a good match. A brilliant one, truth to tell." Bending over a little, Da put a hand on Logan's shoulder and peered intently into his eyes. "But more importantly, Son, the union benefits Scotland. Ye should be proud."
Findlay, Dunrangour's giant of a laird, snorted loud as a draft horse and shook his shaggy blond mane. "So say some."
Craning his neck, Logan gulped and took a reflexive step backward.
"Ever heard such a colossal jobby before, Fergus and Hamish?" Findlay bit out, his jaw muscles jumping and huge hands clenched into powerful balls.
Such a pile of shite?
Which part?
The stupid match or the benefitin' Scotland part?
A pair of Dunrangour clansmen acting as witnesses, their flinty gazes unyielding and faces granite hard, grunted and smirked their agreement.
"Nae, canna say I have, Findlay," the one called Hamish said, giving Da an evil scowl.
"And of course, Mayra's dowry--particularly the land portion--be of nae interest to ye, be it, Rutherford? But, ye canna touch either yet, can ye? No' until our children actually wed. And then it'll be the lad's to do with as he pleases, no' yers. How that must set yer teeth on edge and stick in yer greedy craw."
Findlay's low chuckle, more sinister than humorous, filled the tense silence. Satisfaction, or mayhap even gloating, tinged his words and ignited his vivid blue eyes.
Viking eyes.
Ruthless and cold and unforgiving.
Da said Dunrangour's laird was descended from the barbaric Norsemen, and Logan could well believe it.
His sweet-faced wife didn't join in his mirth. If anything, she hunched deeper into her chair, more distraught.
"Asinine requirin' me to provide half of the lass' marriage settlement now. Reeks of extortion." Findlay's hefty glower encompassed Da and Mr. Hyde, the king's agent.
Logan scrunched his forehead and mouth, gazing between the wrathful laird and his gentle lady.
Didn't they want this stupid troth thing either?
As a lad, he couldn't disobey Da's order, but they were grown-ups. And adults could do what they wanted.
Why didn't they just say no then?
He'd be well-pleased if they did.
He looked at the slobbering baby again and couldn't prevent his lip curling.
Reddish brows drawn into such a severe vee they almost touched, Da glared hard at Findlay until Logan's tugging on his coat finally drew his father's attention.
"What's a cowry, Da?"
"Dowry." His father's stern features softened a wee bit. "It's a legal token promisin' ye and the lass will wed."
A sneer curled Findlay's mouth as he crossed his thick arms and planted a bulging shoulder against the fireplace. "I'd call it extortion and a forced match between a wee six-year-old lad and an infant lass. Neither of which have any say in their futures."
"Give careful thought to yer words, Findlay. Some might consider them and yer attitude treasonous. Ye wouldna want a hint of anythin' untoward to reach His Majesty's ears, would ye now?" Mr. Hyde, tsked disapprovingly, his eyes gone squinty and suspicious. His pointy nostrils even twitched in reproach.
Like a giant wharf rat.
Logan pinched his nose and pointed his face away. Reeking of dirty feet, stale sweat, and rotting teeth, the agent stank worse than Leith's docks.
Lady Findlay had raised her handkerchief to her nose several times as well.
"Go ahead, sign, and be quick about it," Da urged Logan. "We need to be on our way."
Rebellion pounded against Logan's ribs, and he thrust out his lower lip.
Something about this didn't feel right--made him slightly afraid and his tummy waffy.
Like when he awoke during the middle of the night and the castle was too quiet. Too ghostly and strange. And he lay alone in his chamber with only his sword and a carved dog for protection. Too scared to move or rise, but just as terrified to stay buried beneath the weighty bedcoverings.
"Why do I have to wed her? Why canna someone else?" Logan veered the fretting bairn another troubled glance, and leaning toward Da, whispered, "She's no' verra bonnie."
"Yer king asks it of ye, lad. As do I." Da indicated where Logan should sign again.
So he must marry a strawberry-faced, drooling baby for a prissy king he'd never met?
Unfair!
