Sexy & Kilted: Highland Shifters, #2

By Kenna McKay

Tiger shifter, Fergus Macleod, had found his one true love – only to have her snatched away by a powerful laird. Nothing was more important to him than finding his mate, but wouldn't disclosing his secret be too much for any woman to accept?

 

Sold off in a desperate attempt to pay a debt, Robina Bruce thought her fate was sealed until she was rescued by a knight clad in an appealing kilt and bearing the name Macleod. She would do anything to repay Fergus - even if it meant revealing her own carefully-guarded secret.

 

When Fergus and Robina confess their deepest secrets, will a divine union form between them or will the revelations drive them apart?

While the list would be far larger if I’d used all the Scottish slang or versions of English words, I only selected a small amount to give it a more realistic feel. I also didn’t want you to need a dictionary in order to read the book.

Chapter One

Fergus belted another shot of whiskey. The collection of glasses on the table said he’d been drinking far too much, but his heart said he hadn’t had nearly enough. Six months with the woman, and she tossed him away for a laird. Fickle bitch. In retrospect, outing himself as a tiger shifter would have been a bad thing. If Elspeth had run away after Fergus spilled his secret, Alasdair would have killed him. He’d been almost certain she was his destined mate.

Brochan slapped him on the back. No lass is worth drowning yourself.

What would you know of it? Last I checked, you had a willing body warming your bed every night.

Brochan gave him a sad smile. That may be, but we both know it’s temporary. Iona is a sweet lass, but she’s no’ the right one.

Alasdair settled. I dinnae want to do the same. I ken he cares a great deal for Kenzy, but I want that instant connection you feel with the woman destined to be yours.

Brochan nodded. It’s what we all want, but once that thirty-year mark hits, it gets harder to believe she’s out there somewhere. Maybe Alasdair had the right idea, settling down with a good lass and no’ holding out hope for the impossible.

Fergus snorted. Alasdair is forty. I’m only thirty-seven. I’m no’ ready to give up just yet.

Well, if you intend to find your mate, maybe you should lay off the drinks. I dinnae know any lass who wants a sloppy drunk’s hands all over her.

Fergus gave him a one-finger salute, tossed back another drink, and slammed the glass on the table. Brochan shook his head and wandered off, leaving Fergus and his broken heart behind. Except. He frowned. Was his heart broken? Or was
