A dangerous love Rome will never allow…
Driven by the knowledge he failed to protect his king, Druid warrior Gawain abandons his gods and vows to destroy the Roman invaders by any means possible.
Nothing and no one is more important than protecting his fellow Druids from the enemy until he meets the beautiful Roman patrician, Antonia. She is everything he’s never wanted in a woman, yet she fascinates him like no other. Despite the danger of discovery he embarks on an illicit liaison with her, determined to uncover the reason for the infinite sorrow that haunts her eyes.
Newly arrived in Britannia from Rome, Antonia is inexplicably drawn to the cold, tough Celt. His touch stirs a passion she long thought died at the hands of her brutal former husband and his unexpected tenderness thaws her frozen heart.
But she hides a deadly secret that could be her undoing, and knows her growing feelings for him can lead nowhere. Yet when a shadow from her past threatens her future Antonia is torn between the Empire of her birth and betraying Gawain, the man she’s grown to love.

from 11 reviewsChristina Phillips has an uncanny way of pulling you in and making you feel like you're part of the story. The incredible historic backdrops demonstrate the dedication she has to her craft, while the romance between characters is both exciting and believable. Plus, not only do her heros kick ass, but her heroines are never damsels in distress — huge thumbs up from me! If it's not already on your TBR pile, now is the time!
Every book I’ve read from Christina never fails to disappoint ! The way she transports the reader through her writing is both fascinating and exciting! The plot between hero and heroine is both romantic and fiery! Couldn’t put the books down!!
Christina Phillips adds such a rich layer of mystical intrigue to these gorgeously sensual stories of forbidden love. Her warriors are fierce but are no match for the strong and fiery women that Phillips loves to write about. Totally recommend this entire series!
I'm such a fan of Christina Phillip's wild and steamy Highland Warrior series. She weaves such exquisite tales of political intrigue and sizzling romance in this wonderful new Highland Warrior series. Her men are tough and wild, and her heroines are feisty and passionate. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
Orabel Princess of Fib sister to the Queen has returned home after the death of her husband. She serves as a talented healer among her people.
Ross, a troubled warrior with secrets from his past, has been sent on a diplomatic quest to Fib to see if there is truth in the rumors of a brewing alliance with the Northumbrians.
Brought together by a vicious attack, Orabel must determine the right path to follow and will Ross not only be able to survive but also overcome his anguished past so they can find their way together?
This story is a sweet slow build, steamy, enemies to lovers romance with page turning adventure that will keep you up all night to finish the book!
Mrs. Phillips has hit it out of the park again!
Another great book in the series, Ross and Orabel have quite the adventure to get to their HEA. Grab your favorite beverage and settle in for a great story.
I swear in a past life Christina Phillips was a Druid. When she writes them, she transports the reader right into that world. I also have a weakness for Scots, especially wicked ones. You will love her Highland series.
After reading Christina's archangel series I searched up her other series. I could not put these books down! Who could say no to these warrior heroes??! Thanks for the great reads!
I love falling into Christina's paranormal worlds and I devoured all of her books! Highly recommend her Realm of Flame and Shadow series. She writes angels like no one else. 5 stars!
The Highland Warrior Chronicles is a spellbinding tale of fierce Scots warriors and the Pict princesses they fall for. Filled with political intrigue, ancient myths and heartstopping romance, I highly recommend the series for all historical romance lovers!
