Publisher's Synopsis
Patrick MacGregor is content to spend his days fighting for coin and bedding Scotland's loveliest wenches. Life is about the most blows landed and the most skirts chased, after all. But one day, while nearing his Uncle Tamas's land, he happens upon a bewitching lass sunbathing near the loch, and his heart stirs at the sight of her. When he finally arrives at the castle, he's assigned to protect the very woman who moved him so in the forest, and he soon discovers that she's as infuriating as she is beautiful.
Charlotte Lindsay refuses to abide by the barbaric highlander her guardian Tamas has assigned to keep her out of trouble. Charlie is determined to enjoy what freedom she has before she's married off by her distant father. But Patrick MacGregor's constant vigilance--and warrior's body--are starting to become distracting. What's Charlie to do when her biggest temptation is the man charged with keeping her a proper young lass? And when her feelings start to deepen, will she dare defy her father and put herself at risk in the name of love?
