The MacAulay Bride

***NOTE: If you do not enjoy reading about strong, alpha-males, then this is NOT the book for you.

In 1888, widowed Brianna MacAulay is an independent woman struggling to support her two sons. She turns her home into a boarding house, believing this will preserve her from accepting another unhappy marriage proposal. But her late husband's brother, Harrison MacAulay, has lusted after Brianna for years. Now that his brother is dead, he's determined to win and wed her. He journeys from Scotland to America to coerce her to move to his home in Edinburgh. She soon learns her sons are under his guardianship, a stipulation in her husband's will, and she has no choice but to move to Scotland. Sexual sparks fly as their mutual attraction deepens, but just when Brianna is beginning to trust him, Harrison makes a critical mistake. Brianna tries to escape but Harrison holds her captive. He soon learns that love, not dominance, will win her heart.

What people are saying about The MacAulay Bride

4-1/2 Star TOP PICK "Pirri's delightful tale with enthrall readers. Her hero is lovable and very alpha-like when confronted with a woman who will not obey him. His confusion at Brianna's fervent refusal to wed him is priceless. Romance goes hand in hand with internal conflict in this debut novel. Sensual."
Romantic Times-Faith V. Smith Rating: 9/10

"The setting was fantastic. Vivid scenes allowed readers to be right on scene and in the essence permeating the aura floating off the page. As it is, Harrison is a man worth having. But first, Brianna needs to tame his desires. Pirri does a fine job. This is a unique idea that worked."
The Blether Book Review-Brenda Ramsbacher


The Blether Book Review-Brenda Ramsbacher "The MacAulay Bride is an entertaining historical romance with a good plot and engaging characters. Harrison, the hero, is an honorable man and he is justifiably acting out of character to be able to comply with his father's wishes and win the woman he has loved from a distance for decades. Briana is independent and strong, but she has to think about her children. The head butting between these two provides for a good deal of entertainment and creates the right amount of sexual tension. If you like historical romance, The MacAulay Bride is for you."
A Romance Review by Mireya

"The MacAulay Bride definitely has its moments of greatness and its moments of not so good, but it is not in the way the book is written. It is in the story that is told with great finesse and skill. You are swept along on the tide of emotion, and it is a very difficult book to put down. For anyone who likes to see the strong male meet an equally strong female, and laugh and cry and rejoice with them as they meet head to head, Nancy has written the story for you. I found the characters strong and well-rounded and the story memorable. The MacAulay Bride should definitely be on your buy list. You will find yourself enjoying the clash and the joy to be found in the lives of Brianna and Harrison MacAulay."
