The fearless warrior has finally met his match . . .
When Alyce Bunnock's father tried to marry her off, she fled, taking
shelter at Everagis Abbey, donning a nun's habit, and renaming herself
Sister Terese. But when Lachlan Sinclare arrives to restore her to her
family, the safety of the convent is shattered. At the sight of the
handsome Highlander, Alyce fears for her freedom--and weakens with
desire.
Lachlan has been tasked with finding shrewish Alyce, but can think only
of beautiful Terese. Yet with every forbidden touch, Lachlan comes
closer to the truth. And once her secret is revealed, Alyce must choose
between the independence she's always craved and the tempting man she
cannot resist.
