If ever the four riders of the Apocalypse appeared in the
flesh, it would be in the form of the four men gasconading down
the road toward the small kirk where Maggie and the other women had
taken refuge.
It would be any other woman’s
dream to have four such sinfully handsome men headed toward her,
knowing she was the one they sought with such determination.
For Maggie, it was a waking
nightmare.
The handsome Lochlan she’d
expected to see again. Standing six foot four, he was one of the
tallest men of the clan. His fair hair looked as if it had
literally been spun from gold. And when it came to his features,
she doubted if the angels in heaven could compete with the gentle
sculpted face or dimpled smile that had made many a maid sigh.
But there was no smile in place
today. Only a grim, lethal stare.
Lochlan’s younger brother, Ewan,
stood two inches taller, and possessed broad shoulders and a
deadly swagger that made the men of the clan scurry at his
approach. His darkly handsome face had rendered many a woman mute.
But it was his dangerous countenance that kept any woman from
pursuing him.
Most women were as afraid of him as
were the men.
The third man stood between their
heights and was dressed as an Englishman, and she knew him not at
all. Still, he possessed that same lethal aura of all the
MacAllister brothers, and his confident stride held a captivating,
seductive quality to it. He reminded her of a dangerous, dark
beast pursuing his prey.
And the fourth...
He was the one her eyes feasted on,
for she knew Braden MacAllister well. A friend to her older
brothers, he had come often to her home while she was growing up.
All of the MacAllistair brothers
were handsome, but there was something special about Braden.
Something about him that was truly irresistible.
His wavy black hair fell just past
his muscular shoulders and Maggie could easily recall the scent of
elderberries that clung to the silken strands. Not that she knew
for certain his hair felt like silk. ‘Twas merely the sheen of
it that suggested it would be wondrous to brush her hand through
the long, dark locks.
He had a high forehead with finely
arched black brows that lifted up when he laughed. And he laughed
often. It was a deep, throaty sound that filled the air with music
and warmth.
And his lips....
Full and well shaped, they were the
kind of lips a woman went to bed at night dreaming of kissing. Or
better yet, the kind of lips that could kiss a woman senseless.
Or so she had been told.

lives.
