Publisher's Synopsis
Bound by duty...
Colin MacGregor was born to fight--for his beliefs, his king, and his family's honor. After years away from his beloved Scotland, he yearns to return to its lush, green hills, and he can after he completes one final mission for the king. Sent to infiltrate a traitor's home, Colin is determined to expose the treasonous plot and triumph on the battlefield--until he meets a sensual lass who tempts him toward other pursuits.
Betrayed by passion...
Lady Gillian Dearly is no stranger to temptation. Cast out of her family for bearing an illegitimate child, she's now the ward of a barbarian conspiring against the king. Her only desire: freedom for her son and for herself at any cost, even if it means making a deal with the devil. Yet when a mysterious Highlander appears in their midst, his raw strength and smoldering gaze give her hope for a future beyond the castle walls--and promise a desire unlike any she's ever known. Passion, however, comes at a price.
