New York Times bestselling author Lynsay Sands welcomes readers back
to the Scottish Highlands, where a gallant warrior vows to protect a
beautiful runaway . . .
Lady Murine Carmichael has known her share of bad luck. But when her
debt-ridden half brother tries to sell her off in exchange for a few
Scottish horses, it's the final straw. If keeping her freedom means
escaping through harsh countryside alone, so be it. She has barely begun
her journey when she lands an unlikely escort--the brawny Highlander who
just refused to buy her virtue.
Dougall Buchanan was disgusted by Lord Danvries' shameful offer, but
Murine tempts him beyond measure. Even bedraggled and dusty, the lass
glows with beauty and bravery. Dougall wants to do more than just help
her flee. He wants to protect her--with his life and his heart--if
she'll only let him. For Murine may be pursued by a powerful foe, but
nothing compares to the fiery courage of a Highlander in love.
