If You Dare (The MacCarrick Brothers Series) 
With If You Dare, Cole introduces a thrilling new romance trilogy featuring fierce Scottish brothers with dangerous lives, dark desires, and a deadly curse.
Can he exact revenge?
High in the Pyrenees, a band of mercenaries led by Courtland MacCarrick wages war for General Reynaldo Pascal. When Court turns on the evil general, Pascal orders him killed but Court narrowly escapes and exacts revenge by kidnapping Pascal's exquisite Castilian fiancée.
Can she deny her passions?
Lady Annalía Tristán Llorente despises her towering, barbaric captor almost as much as she does Pascal. Her inexplicable attraction to the Highlander only fuels her fury. But nothing will stop her from returning to Pascal -- for if she doesn't wed him, she signs her brother's death warrant, as well as her own.
Can there be love between them?
From the moment Court discovers that Anna's prim façade masks a fiery, brave lass, his heart's ensnared, and he dares to defy the curse that has shadowed his life -- to walk with death or walk alone. But Pascal vows that he'll hunt the two, never stopping until he's destroyed them both.
Reviews
The Scot, McCarrick initially appears to be a borish, somewhat uninspired mercenary with a one track mind (money). But with time, it seems there's more to him than meets the eye. He is a tortured soul, cursed not to find love in his lifetime. He is therefore wary when he starts having feelings for Annalia. Again, one of those male machismo books....McCarrick is not too different from other heroes in romance novels.
Kudos to Kresley for this rather entertaining book. She managed to do the unthinkable: make scottish brogue sexy!
Now if Kresley Cole would only release the 2nd book in this trilogy! I know she has other works in progress..but leaving us hanging like this is simply cruel! I still love her though!
