Jayne Castel answered a question about The Laird Is Mine: Highlander Seduced and The Laird is Mine the same book , as one says it's the Enchanted highland hearts series and the other (HS) says it's the Rebellious Highland Hearts series, but the blurb is the same ......? Regards Kath..x Thanks, Kath. I know! It's understandably very confusing. I've been trying to get the GR librarians to removed The Laird is Mine (which was the old title). I will keep trying ... but if you're a librarian please go ahead and delete it for me. :-) Bes See Full Answer
