The Chieftain
Also published 1982 as author Helen Cannam. This is a fully revised edition.
Isobel Carnegie is beautiful, rich and a widow. When she is kidnapped by Highland chieftain Hector MacLean it seems he is only interested in her money. Gently-bred Isobel is appalled by the hard life led by the clansmen at Ardshee, so when Hector is called to join the forces of Bonnie Prince Charlie, she is only too glad to seize her chance to escape.
But freedom brings no sense of relief. It is only as the hopes of the Highlanders are destroyed for ever at the battle of Culloden that she learns - too late? - where her heart truly lies

No Epilogue and Language. Taking the Lord's name in vain but thankfully you kept the bedroom door shut. Otherwise it would have been a five star story.
