Once upon a time . . .
in a kingdom high in the Pyrenees, three young princesses were forced
to flee the chaos in their land--vanishing without a trace and lost to
their people . . . until the day a courageous prince can bring the
princesses home.
One of Scotland's most dangerous men, Robert MacKenzie is dazzled by the
enchanting beauty who rides into the town he is sworn to defend. Though
he is wary of the exquisite stranger, Clarice stirs emotions within him
that Robert buried deeply years before. And now he must have her at any
cost, vowing to gain her trust through the powers of his sensuous
seduction.
Torn between her need to protect her secrets and her aching desire for
the dark, tormented earl of Hepburn, Clarice is pulled into Robert's
glamorous world . . . and into his perilous plan for justice and
revenge. And with the winds of treachery swirling around them, a runaway
princess must draw Robert's heart from the shadows and make him believe
in happily-ever-after.
