In the Highlands, love is forged in fire-and bound by home.
Her agenda is deception. His vow is protection. However, fate has other plans.
Lachlan MacLanoch is a Scottish laird with a rake's reputation, yet his past has left him embittered, untrusting of women, and unwilling to marry. When an English aristocratic lass arrives at his Highland estate, he is pledged to protect her virtue-at all costs. But the spirited and beautiful Sassenach is so very, very tempting...
To atone for one sin, Lady Helene Beckett is forced to commit another. She undertakes to dupe and seduce the Laird of Drumocher Castle as part of a desperate mission to save her young sister's life. Complications arise when the laird's honourable code of conduct proves impenetrable-and her feelings begin to soften towards him.
Outside forces conspire against them-meddling families, secret wagers-forcing Lachlan and Helene to rethink their long-held beliefs. Will it be enough to mend hearts broken by betrayal, heal souls scarred by secrets, and discover a love brave enough to forgive?
