Book 1: Laird Oliphant's sons have no choice but to get married. Without an heir, the laird has gathered his sons—his six illegitimate sons, all born in the same year—and declared whoever presents him with a grandson first, will become the next Highland Laird. Reactions are...mixed. But to Finn Oliphant, this is exactly the news he's been hoping for. You see, Finn has already chosen his future wife: the vivacious and intelligent Fiona MacIan, whom he fell in love with the previous year.It's not that Fiona is getting cold feet, exactly. Book 2: Duncan Oliphant's father has insisted he—and all of his brothers—marry and start producing grandsons...like, yesterday. And Dunc is having none of it. But he is the laird's son and he knows he has a duty to do; one he's happy to postpone, as he takes one more commission, which has him traveling across the Highlands, gold in hand. Even worse if it's not a man at all, but a highwaywoman. What in the world is Skye MacIan doing, robbing unsuspecting travelers? The only way to discover the truth—and get back his gold—is to kidnap the highwaywoman and offer a trade. Book 3: Rocque Oliphant has simple wants: a fine sword at his hip, a good meal in his belly, and a lusty wench by his side. If Rocque wants to beat his brothers at a chance for the lairdship, he needs to find a willing woman to bear his sons—and fast! But Merewyn, the stubborn lass, refuses to marry him and won't tell him why. Rocque can't imagine spending his life with anyone else! Book 4: Malcolm Oliphant is, beyond a doubt, the brains of the family. Since his father, the laird, announced whichever brother could marry and produce a son first would become the heir, Malcolm's brothers have been running around, falling in love willy-nilly, without using their brains at all. He plans to find a widow with a son or two, thus proving her ability to bear male offspring, and explain to her they will be married. See? Simple. No need to bring emotions into it.
