Product Description
Product Description
No woman could resist the pleasures he offered....
They are the Merricks, two brothers and a sister, restless, daring, proud. English by birth, they came to Scotland with their father to occupy McClairen lands. And there each would find a love as wild and glorious as the Highland isle they claimed as their own.
Fia, the only daughter, is the ravishing one. Raine, the second son, is the reckless one. Ashton is the eldest son. This is his story. . . .
The Passionate One
He was a notorious rogue with a reputation for hell-raising and heartbreaking. But family secrets forced Ashton Merrick to do his ruthless father's bidding--and escort Rhiannon Russell back to McClairen's Isle. Ash suspected that his father intended to make the innocent beauty his fourth wife. But he didn't expect the passions she would ignite in his own wary heart.
Watch for the next two books in the breathtakingly romantic McClairen's Isle trilogy, The Reckless One and The Ravishing One, coming soon from Dell.

Format:Paperback
During the 1750's, he lingered in a French prison for four years until his father decided to ransom him, but now his younger brother is also captured. Now, several years later, Ashton Merrick remains obsessed with obtaining his brother's freedom, using his ability to successfully gamble to earn the needed money. However, an opportunity to expedite the process appears when his sire demands Ash escort the man's ward Rhiannon Russell to him in exchange for paying for the release of his sibling.
Though he loathes Lord Carr, he agrees to do the man's bidding. When he meets Rhiannon, he finds himself attracted to her beauty and intelligence. He begins to worry that his father plans to make Rhiannon his fourth bride. The first three inexplicably died. As he falls in love with his charge, Ash has a dilemma of freeing his brother at the cost of sacrificing his beloved.
MCCLAIREN'S ISLE: THE PASSIONATE ONE is a superb historical romance that will thrill readers as the complex Ash deals with a losing situation. The story line is fast-paced and filled with action. However, the plot truly centers on the relationship between the enigmatic Ash and the woman who pulls him out of the darkness. Once again, Connie Brockway writes a winner.
