None would dare challenge him.

Even Boyd Kerr’s close companion, William Wallace, known for his prowess with a sword, refused to engage the Scotsman.

Lady Galia had no such qualms.

The countess single-handedly held off an English army clamoring at her gates for months. Though she proved as fierce as she was beautiful, Boyd had a mission to complete, and Lady Galia’s refusal to accept his aid put Wallace’s plans in jeopardy.

He was becoming impatient with her, despite his admiration of her wit and will. The stubborn lass refused to take orders from any man, even one as capable as he. But as the days, and the siege upon Gurstelle Castle, wore on, Lady Galia was faced with a choice between independence and her growing attraction to a man accustomed to winning.

No matter the cost.

A Lass of His Own is book six in the Brotherhood of the Border Series. Although far along in the series, it can be read as a stand alone. This is a beautifully written romance with quite a few steamy scenes. I loved Boyd and Galia’s love story. It is a fairly short book and so makes a great weekend read. This story takes place thirty years after Mecca’s Border series books and includes some of the previous characters. A Lass of His Own is a retelling of a real life siege that took place in 1314 when English forces surrounded Dunbar Castle and tried to make its protector Lady Agnes Dunbar surrender it. There are small references here and there of what actually happened and Dunbar’s subsequent victory. Mecca includes danger and intrigue in her plot and always mixes it with romance. I enjoyed this book.
