The New York Times bestselling author of The Summerhouse brings
her signature "marvelously compelling" (Houston Chronicle) prose to
the second historical romance in the charming Edilean series.
Angus McTern is respected by the men of his clan and adored by the
women. He takes his duties as laird seriously and has everything he
wants in life--until Edilean Talbot shows up.
Breathtakingly beautiful and born of privilege, Edilean needs Angus's
help to reclaim the gold she inherited from her father. Unfortunately,
when Angus tries to seize it, he's accused of theft, and has to leave
behind all that he knows and escape with Edilean to the New World. There
they discover almost insurmountable obstacles, and a love as wild and
free as the land itself.
Stirring and masterfully rendered, Jude Deveraux "incorporates her
trademark sweet and salty characters into a pair of entertaining
romances, one past, one present, to create one of her most fun and
pleasing tales" (Booklist).
