Highland Quest by B.J. Scott
No longer content in the
shadows of his older brothers and on a quest to find his destiny, Bryce
Fraser's chosen path is fraught with danger, passion, and decisions. Can his
unspoken love for spirited, beguiling Fallon be triumphant in a time of war and
uncertainty, or will they both fall prey to the devious plans of a traitorous
laird from a rival clan?
Teaser Excerpt:
“Wa . . . water,” Bryce
mumbled, but there was no one there to listen.
His throat was parched and he ran his tongue
over dry, cracked lips, but his action offered no relief. An entire loch lay
only a few feet away, but he couldn’t muster the strength to drag himself to
the bank and quench his thirst.
“Cold . . . so cold.”
Despite the sun beating down on him, he’d
swear he was encased in ice. His life’s blood seeped from his wounds, soaking
the ground beneath him. He tried to raise his head, but the excruciating pain
radiating across his chest stole his breath away.
Was this what it felt like
to die? If so, he prayed the Almighty would be merciful and take him now.
Bryce moaned, a shift in his
position bringing on another nauseating wave of agony. He sucked in a
short, sharp, gulp of air and stretched his arm out as far as he could, his
fingers grappling in the dirt.
If only I could reach my
sword.
Beads of perspiration
dampened his brow. As the strength slowly drained from his body, drawing a
simple breath became more difficult. The end grew near. No time to make amends
for sins of the past, and he had committed his share.
Regrets? He had those, too.
“Fallon.” He whispered her name then heaved a ragged sigh.

With a passion for
historical romance, history in general, and anything Celtic, B.J. always has an
exciting work in progress. Each story offers a blend of romance, adventure,
suspense, and, where appropriate, a dab of comic relief. Carefully researched
historical facts are woven into each manuscript, providing a backdrop from
which steamy romance, gripping plots, and vivid characters—dashing alpha heroes
and resourceful, beguiling heroines you can’t help but admire—spring to life. A
member of RWA, World Romance Writers, Celtic Hearts Romance Writers, and Savvy
Authors, B.J. also writes contemporary, paranormal, time travel, and romantic
suspense.
C.S. Lewis first captivated
B. J.’s imagination in the fourth grade, and her desire to write sprang from
there. Following a career in nursing and child and youth work, B.J. married her
knight-in-shining-armor, and he whisked her away to his castle by the sea. In
reality, they share their century-old home in a small Canadian town on the shore of Lake Erie
