"I am almost positive Paula Quinn is a cyborg historical romance writer here on earth to indulge my every whim in these Highland tales!" Smexy Books

A Highlander Never Surrenders 

Desire is the deadliest weapon of all . . . 

Defending Her Was His Duty 
Skilled with a sword and quick with her wit, Scottish rebel Claire Stuart cannot be tamed. And nothing can deter her from rescuing her beloved sister and saving them both from arranged marriages-not even the handsome Highlander who vows to protect Claire. His scorching gaze and fiery kiss bring her to the brink of surrender, but she belongs to no man . . . 

Seducing Her Would Be His Reward 
Graham Grant has had his share of lasses. But he has never met one as headstrong or as bonnie as Claire-or one with such desperate, dangerous plans. Helping her could betray his honor, his country, and more. Graham can't claim her. Yet everything in him says: Take her, make her yours, teach her pleasure, and never let her go.

Graham & Claire stats

Graham Grant: b. December 1632
A Highlander Never Surrenders
Lifelong friend of the MacGregors and constant source of happiness to wenches from Skye to Stirling. When notorious rogue, Graham Grant, is sent to find Royalist rebel Connor Stuart, he finds the outlaw’s sister instead…and the only lass he wants to keep in his bed for more than one night. He wants to take her, tame her, and claim her as his own, but as they travel together Graham learns that he cannot touch her without betraying his honor… and so much more.

Sagittarius Traits: Unique combination of wit, intelligence, and fiery drive. Pretense and deception appalls him. His open, cheerful features invite friendship. His eyes sparkle and twinkle with humor. He has a thoroughbred physique and there is no halting or hesitating in his gait.


Claire Stuart: b. March, 1639
A Highlander Never Surrenders
Royalist rebel and cousin to the exiled King Charles II. Lady Claire Stuart is no lady. In fact, she hasn’t donned a gown in over ten years. Part of the rebel militia bent on restoring Charles to the throne, she can wield a sword as well as any man…even better. She doesn’t need Graham Grant to protect her from her dangerous plans to rescue her sister from an arranged marriage, and even though his scorching gaze and even hotter kisses awaken her feminine desires, she belongs to no man. 

Aries Traits: She is fearless, with no trace of cunning or wile. Quick, capable movements with a mental process to match. Her posture reflects a supreme ego and self confidence.

The day Graham Grant came to Grand Central

Few authors get to see their characters come to life before their eyes, but I did. You met Graham Grant, the hero in A HIGHLANDER NEVER SURRENDERS (on sale now), in my previous release, LAIRD OF THE MIST. I met him in Grand Central Terminal. The Scottish Village hosts a fashion show that was about to begin. I like kilts. I'll watch.

Donning a kilt of black leather and matching jacket that he held closed at his chest, model and former rugby star, Chris Capaldi stepped onto the stage like he owned it. His tousled mop of deep amber hair eclipsed killer green eyes that sparkled with confidence and a hint of wickedness. All he did was smile and a horde of women behind me started whooping and cheering in a dozen different languages. Oh yeah, he knew the ladies were digging him and he fed the frenzy by sliding the jacket off his bare bronze shoulders and curling his sulky mouth into a grin so salacious I swear every woman in attendance sighed at the same time. Grand Central was never so hot.

There was my Graham Grant. Six feet three inches of pure rogue.

  • Chris has graciously agreed to star in my next Grand Central Publishing release about a notorious rogue and a beautiful rebel he can never have. From the moment Graham meets the bold and passionate Claire Stuart, he wants to take her, claim her. But Claire has far more dangerous undertakings ahead than surrendering to a wickedly alluring Highlander. Amidst betrayal, honor, duty, and ultimately love, she must put this vision in his place in order to save her sister's life, and her own. Pick up a copy of A HIGHLANDER NEVER SURRENDERS and journey with Graham to a place that has remained untouched until now—his heart.

    Enjoy!
