The Wicked Ways of a Highlander

Proud Countess Isabella Macduff dared to challenge the English king and to oppose her own husband for the freedom of her native country—and she paid for it dearly. They took her daughter from her, tortured and abused her, and kept her in inhuman conditions. Now her only hope and savior is Lachlan Macruairy, who rescued her from the claws of her villainous spouse and swore to deliver her to the court of Robert Bruce, despite countless dangers.

However, this stern, battle-hardened, cynical warrior does not inspire trust in the young woman. Another matter entirely is passion—one that replaces fear far too quickly. But can someone burn with love for a man in secret, never believing him for even a moment?
