“Then kiss me. Come on! See if ye can make me moan and cry fer ye as ye claim ye can.”

“A challenge is it?”

Arran MacKinnon's mission was supposed to be easy: deliver his laird's bride and win his mother's freedom from the devil's clutches. However, he is caught off guard when said bride turns out to be a wild vixen set on escaping her betrothal.

And even worse? She's the one woman he's secretly craved for years…

Dahlia MacLeod would rather face a pack of wolves than marry a MacKinnon. But when she comes face-to-face with Arran, she's realized she's in even deeper danger than she thought—because it's not the laird she's worried about, it's his right-hand man.

Desire clashes with duty, and hearts are bound to shatter. Arran must decide whose heart to break—his mother's, Dahlia's, or his own.

In the dance of desire, will they follow their hearts or the rules?
