Resisting The Highlander: A Scottish Romance - Plot & Excerpts
She carried a light portmanteau as she walked in and surveyed the goings on. The house looked as if it had seen a lot of activity during the past few days. Furniture was moved, rugs rolled back, and two long tables taken down from the storage garret sat empty, waiting for guests to arrive. As she started up the stairs, she heard the sound of chattering voices coming from the direction of the kitchen where Besse and her helpers were busy with preparations for the dinner. When she heard her own name mentioned, she stopped for a moment to listen. Mary Burnett’s voice was the loudest. “I think it’s a shame, Besse, bringing that girl here. What is he thinking of after all you have done for him?” Besse’s answer was inaudible, but Elizabeth MacPherson laughed. “He’s taking an awful chance having the lassie here with that Aidan MacLeod in the same house. Everybody knows his reputation with the ladies. The old man is making it very easy for him.” More muffled laughter and talk ensued, causing Bridget’s cheeks to burn.
