Would
you sacrifice everything for the person you love, knowing you can never be
together?
A desperate Scottish lady
Lydia Ferguson—the sole surviving heir to the Laird of Tornbury Fortress—has lost nearly everyone she loves. Now her father lies on his deathbed. And as if this isn't dire enough, he's invited men from the surrounding area to a warrior’s contest—the winner to claim Lydia as his bride.
A
Scotsman dueling with his past
Alasdair McTavish, son of Craiglocky Keep's war chief, is a seasoned warrior in his own right. So when he's sent to Tornbury to train the Ferguson soldiers, he's more than equal to the task.

A
danger unseen
When a dangerous adversary makes a move against Lydia, a dastardly scheme comes to light, and Alasdair realizes only he can protect Lydia.

A few feet
inside the room, Lydia spun around and planted her hands on her hips. “Pray
tell me, what you’re doing? Why are you so upset and acting like a savage? I
but spoke the truth. I’m not your responsibility.”
Alasdair
leaned against the door, his eyes hooded, and an almost predatory demeanor
about his large form. His lips twitched with her last fiery declaration, but he
kept stoically silent.
His untamed
hair hanging nearly to his shoulders, golden stubble shadowing his face’s
chiseled planes, and an unfathomable, wild glint in his steely azure eyes,
accented his Viking ancestry. All he needed was a battle-axe and round shield
to complete the image of a fierce, marauding Norseman.
And she
wouldn’t mind all that much if he’d laid siege to Tornbury.
She feared
he’d already done so with her heart.
Oh, the
plundering hadn’t been the overwhelming bedeviling of senses as Flynn’s had.
No,
Alasdair’s onslaught had been a subtle, insidious seduction, snaring her before
she even realized she’d been led into a trap.
He smiled
then, that charming, tempting bending of his strong mouth which, despite her
pique, towed at her reluctant heartstrings and sent a frisson of excitement
coursing through her pores.
His
absurdly broad shoulders and marbled muscles appealed to her femininity. Why
must he be so deliciously masculine?
Still, he
owed her an explanation for lugging her into the drawing room like an errant
child.
“Well?”
Widening her eyes, she leaned forward a mite, demanding an explanation,
irritated at his highhandedness and her wanton response. “What, you’ve nothing
to say now? After you dragged me in here, like a crazed, uncivilized
barbarian?”
An escapee
from the Pacific Northwest’s rainy, gray coast, Collette Cameron believed
teaching her destiny until she dared to tap out her first novel.
She’s
been enthralled with writing ever since.
Blessed
with three spectacular children, fantastic fans, and a compulsive, over-active,
and witty Muse who won’t stop whispering new romantic romps in her ear, she
still lives in Oregon with her mini-dachshunds, though she dreams of living in
Scotland part-time.
