Why we recommend it

A brooding laird, a captive who won't be tamed, and the smoldering enmity that slowly bends toward desire. This Highland opener delivers windswept atmosphere, clan intrigue, and the irresistible tension of two adversaries bound together. For readers who love historical dark romance with commanding heroes, reluctant heroines, and the slow surrender of hate to want, this promises rugged passion forged in the harsh beauty of the Scottish wilds.
