By edict of the king, the mighty Scottish laird Alec Kincaid must take an English bride. His choice is Jamie, youngest daughter of Baron Jamison—a feisty, violet-eyed beauty. Alec aches to touch her, to tame her, to possess her...forever. But Jamie has vowed never to surrender to a man she considers a highland barbarian.
Alec is everything Jamie’s heart has warned her against—an arrogant scoundrel whose rough good looks speak of savage pleasures. While Kincaid’s scorching kisses set fire to her blood, she is determined to resist him...until one rapturous moment quells their clash of wills, and something far more dangerous than desire threatens to conquer her senses...
This is one of my very favorite books, and I try to read it once a year. Garwood spins a magical tale of a tall Highlander and a beautiful English woman commanded to marry for political purposes. Alec Kincaid is one of my favorite heroes. Brash, rough and sometimes rude, Alec slowly wins the heart of Jamie. There is mystery, comedy and steamy romance in this story. This book is just a delight. I wish Garwood would have written more Medieval romances. We lost an amazing and masterful author when she passed.
