Forbidden passion has never been more dangerous - or more irresistible -
in the first novel of best-selling author Amanda Scott's spellbinding
Highland series.
Scotland, 1750. In the aftermath of the Jacobite rebellion, Maggie
MacDrumin vows to keep fighting to liberate her people. But the intrepid
Scotswoman is risking her life for a dangerous cause. When her latest
mission lands her in a London courtroom on a trumped-up larceny charge,
she has only one hope of survival. Enlisting the aid of Edward Carsley,
the powerful fourth Earl of Rothwell, is a two-edged sword. The
seductive aristocrat who awakens treacherous desire is her clan's mortal
enemy - a man she can never trust.
Edward will do whatever it takes to quell another bloody uprising. But
how can he fight his passion for the rebellious Highland beauty in his
safekeeping? As their lives come under siege, Maggie lays claim to the
one thing Edward vowed never to surrender: His heart.
