Book Description

Publication Date: July 2001

British Earl by Day and secret agent by night, Lord Julian Thornton has sworn never to love another woman. But when a mission to the Scottish coast goes perilously wrong, he is forced to wed a seductive gypsy beauty for his own protection.

But the lovely Lara is more than she appears, for she is truly of noble blood. And though Julian's heart implores him to stay with his lady of mystery, for the safety of them both he must return to his own world -- only to discover Lara in the one place he never expected to find his wild gypsy enchantress; a place where he may be powerless to protect her . . . or his own heart.

Rugged rancher Pierce Delaney doesn't trust women and has vowed never to marry; beautiful Zoey Fuller is far too busy trying to save her ranch from greedy Samson Willoughby to even think about a husband. Unfortunately, Samson not only wants her ranchland, but he wants Zoey as well.

When Pierce is falsely accused of a heinous crime and then shot by a Montana vigilante while escaping, he finds refuge in Zoey's root cellar. Zoey removes the bullet and saves his life, but when Willoughby's threats loom larger, she forces Pierce to marry her at gunpoint and rescue her from Willoughby's clutches. But Zoey didn't plan on falling in love with her reluctant bridegroom, and Pierce certainly didn't plan on finding a wife quite so enticing.

Just when Pierce and Zoey think they've resolved their difficulties, tragedy strikes and Willoughby surfaces to threaten their lives once again. Before Pierce can claim Zoey forever, he must first save her from the evil forces that seek to claim her for their own. Readers who love Mason's historical romances will be delighted with this addition. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great beginning to the Delany brothers book trology..., October 21, 2000

This review is from: To Love a Stranger (Mass Market Paperback)

This is the first book of the Delany brothers trilogy, including, "To Love A Stranger", "To Tame A Renegade", "To Tempt A Rogue". This story is of the eldest brother Pierce Delany. He and his brothers have sworn to never fall in love or marry, all women are trouble, well everything is about to change when Pierce is shot by a group of vigalanties and he has to hide in Zoey Fuller's root cellar. He is accussed of a heinous crime that he didn't cimmit and has nowhere to go. Zoey finds him near death and she saves his life only to coerce him into marrying her to save her ranch from a corrupt banker. Things get out of control when the pair fall in love and Pierce refuses to acknowledge it. I loved this story. Pierce is a man hurting and capable of love, but he is afraid to take a chance. As always Connie Mason delivers an exciting story that you can't put down until you read the very last page. His younger brothers Chad and Ryan are the main characters of the next two books in that order. Chad's tale begins to take form in the last chapters of this story and continues in "To Tame A Renegade".

This review is from: To Love a Stranger (Mass Market Paperback)

I like the fact that the story kept going, never a dull moment. Connie Mason knows how to keep the reader guessing and when the truth is reveal,the story still continued.This book is about the first Delany brother's, but I suggest you get all three of them. A great story.

This is a great book...in fact this is the first book that i've read by Connie Mason. I think her characters are all well rounded. This story is pretty yucky in some parts, but the story is pretty well rounded. At first I was thinking this is a big book and it'll proably drag on, but it didn't. It is a very nice story and I really liked it...now i have to go out and get the sequel.
