This rebel soul is why the Englishman loves her. She hates this Englishman but his square jaw and dark hair are too much for her to handle so she inevitably falls in love with him, much to the disgust of both of their people, and Englishman and Scottish woman live happilly ever after, after Englishman turns against his brutal English people and helps Scottish woman defend her land...
delete Englishman and add in Roman OR Norman OR Saxon and then you have about 980938048230480384039843 different romance novels all built on the same theme.
So please, im dying for a new story 
LOL just add "vampire" and I think I've read that one.
 Hijacking thread for a minue:
To those who liked the Outlander series, and Meghan, I highly rec "The Bronze Horsemen" series by Paulina Simmons. Russia during World War II. Don't let the description fool you, it sounds like a totally cheesy romance novel, like the above mentioned, but it's not. It's well written and gut wrenching. Lots of war, death, starvation, torture, "travel" and references to meals that will make your mouth water.
...but of course Alexander has a "square jaw and dark hair".
