In this charming historical romance classic from New York Times bestselling author Lynsay Sands, a Highlands hellion flees the handsome English devil shes been promised to, and he realizes that his enchanting prize will be much harder to win than he imagined.
Seonaid Dunbar had been trained as a Scottish warrior at her father’s knee, and she would rather fight than flee. But running away to an abbey was preferable than marrying Blake Sherwell. No, she’d not dutifully pledge troth to anyone the English court called “Angel.” Fair hair and eyes as blue as the heavens hardly proved a man’s worth. There was no such thing as an English angel; only English devils. And there were many ways to elude a devilish suitor, even one that King Henry ordered her to wed.
The next Countess of Sherwell was not sitting at home in her castle, embroidering, peacefully waiting for Blake to arrive. No, she was fleeing to a new stronghold and readying her defenses. Swords and sleeping drafts, Claymores and kisses. This battle would require all weapons–if he ever caught her. And the chase was about to begin.
Dive into a captivating tale of defiance, passion, and unexpected love with Lynsay Sands' "The Chase," a delightful historical romance that will transport you to the rugged Scottish Highlands and the refined English court. This large print edition offers an immersive reading experience, perfect for sinking into Seonaid Dunbar's spirited adventure. Seonaid, a Highland lass forged in the fires of her father's warrior training, refuses to be a pawn in King Henry's political game. Promised to the devastatingly handsome Blake Sherwell, an Englishman nicknamed "Angel," Seonaid sees only an "English devil" and concocts a daring escape. She'd rather face a battlefield than a wedding altar with a man she believes represents everything she despises. Trading silks for steel, Seonaid flees to a secluded abbey, hoping to outwit her unwanted suitor and protect her independence. Blake Sherwell, however, is no ordinary Englishman. Beneath his angelic facade lies a determined and surprisingly resourceful man. Intrigued by Seonaid's fiery spirit and refusal to be tamed, Blake embarks on a thrilling chase to win her heart. He soon discovers that capturing this Highland hellion will require more than just royal decree; it will demand wit, patience, and a willingness to meet her on her own terms. As Blake pursues Seonaid across the breathtaking Scottish landscape, the initial animosity between them slowly melts away, replaced by a simmering attraction. Their encounters are filled with playful banter, daring escapades, and undeniable chemistry. But can Blake convince Seonaid that he is not the "English devil" she believes him to be? Can Seonaid overcome her ingrained distrust of the English and allow herself to fall for the man who is relentlessly pursuing her?
