“Because we dinnae ken if ye are foe or friend,” uttered the low voice of a female behind them.
Desmond felt the blade against his back and gritted his teeth. “I can assure ye, my lady, we are friends. There is no need to keep a blade to my back.”
“Then show me ye are a friend by dropping your weapons,” she demanded.
Desmond looked to Alastair and then back to the druid. “I did not ken we had to prove our loyalty.” Dropping his sword, he lifted his hands. “Pleased?”
“Including the axe.”
Alastair shrugged. “Ye may not wish me to drop my axe.”
“Do not take me for a fool,” she snapped.

BLURB: You first met this warrior in Dragon Knight’s Axe, Order of the Dragon Knights, Book 3
Irish warrior, Desmond O’Quinlan has never surrendered his heart to any woman. He has no wish to have his soul tortured by love. Yet, the moment he locks gazes with Ailsa, his fate is destined for an adventure he never fathomed. He may have battled alongside a Dragon Knight, but his greatest challenge will come from within his own heart.
Ailsa MacDuff, a warrior among her clan, has no desire to have a man chain her to a life of obedience. However, that is before she meets Desmond. The temptation to allow this warrior inside her heart is a risk she dares to take, but one that could lead to a future of emptiness and sorrow.
When betrayal looms from within, the battleground of love is no match for these two warriors. Can the power of a Highland full moon be strong enough to unite or destroy them?
