But when the past reaches out in the form of an old foe, Ceana's life is in danger. Now Bruce must fight to become her savior—and more—if she'll let him.

True love blossoms between a widow and an inventor in the Scottish Highlands in the steamy historical romance by a New York Times–bestselling author.

For Virginia Traylor, Countess of Barrett, marriage was merely the vehicle to buy her father a title. Widowhood, however, brings a host of problems. For her husband deliberately spent the money intended for Virginia and her in-laws, leaving them penniless—unless she produces an heir. Desperate and confused, Virginia embarks on a fateful journey that brings her to the doorstep of the only man she's ever loved . . .

He's known as the Devil, but Macrath Sinclair doesn't care. He moved to a tiny Scottish village in hopes of continuing his work as an inventor and starting a family of his own. He bought the house; he chose the woman. Unfortunately, Virginia didn't choose him. Macrath knows he should turn her away now, but she needs him, and he wants her more than ever. Whatever game Virginia's playing, Macrath intends to win—one wickedly seductive deed at a time . . .

Though fate made them enemies, a wild Scottish woman and a hardened British soldier find a passion that conquers all in this historical romance.

Alec Landers spent his boyhood summers falling in love with Leitis McRae on the Scottish Highlands. The now-grown Earl of Sherbourne has returned to this troubled land a British colonel, and therefore a foe to the bewitching lass who still holds his heart.

Agreeing to become an enemy colonel's prisoner in her uncle's stead, Leitis is confused by the traitorous passion she feels whenever her captor is near. But Alec dares not reveal to her who he was—or his dangerous secret identity as Raven, the outlaw defender of the Scots—even if protecting his lady costs him her love . . .

Iseabal Drummond has spent her life bound to her father's malicious whims, and she cannot think her sudden engagement has been arranged out of kindness. Now, she's expected to trust a stranger who has never set foot in his ancestral home as a hu 二Band, surrendering any chance for having her own freedom.

While neither Alisdair nor Iseabal wanted a marriage of convenience, it isn't long before they discover they are kindred spirits. And as their friendship blossoms into an unexpected love, Iseabal's father threatens to ruin their happily ever after. .
