The next book in The Clan Donald Saga...Born to Trouble

Their roots were in ancient Ireland with its high kings, in the Isles where the Norse settled and in ancient Dalriada, the Kingdom of the Gaels. They were the great sea lords, plying the waters in their longships and galleys, ruling the western Highlands and the Hebrides for four hundred years.

In this 4th book, I tell you the story of Alexander of Islay, Lord of the Isles and heir to the earldom of Ross set in the early 15th century. Alexander welcomed King James back to Scotland after his long captivity in England. But beneath the king’s words of approval lay treachery. Alexander’s father had won the Battle of Harlaw, securing for his son the title Earl of Ross, but Alexander must convince a treacherous king to allow him to keep it.

The nobles defeated at Harlaw, intimidated by Alexander’s greatness, urged the king to rein in the powerful Lord of the Isles. And so the king, who once considered Alexander an ally, now considered him an enemy and imprisoned him at Tantallon Castle. But Alexander was the one man the Highlanders and Islesmen trusted above all others, and they would rise in rebellion for the wrong done their lord.

In a life marked by much trouble, Alexander would win the hearts of many. Among them would be three women. Each claimed the heart of the handsome Lord of the Isles, but only one truly possessed it.
