Instead of being the renowned beauty that she really is, she must help her sister gain "The Lion" of the Highlands favor, even though the feat seems impossible, for every word and look coming from him shows just how feral the man really is. A deadly Highlander shouldn't be forced to marry-but that's exactly what's happening to Kane "The Lion" Shaw. With a new squire, a leper of a lady living in his keep, and his neighboring highlanders beginning to stir with unease, Kane has a lot on his plate. But a Highlander never surrenders...and ignores the odd feelings his squire stirs inside of him. When Saeran, posing as a squire, is forced to be around "The Lion", the roughest, meanest, most barbarian man she's ever met, she is sure her ruse is hanging by a thread. When he begins to suspect what she really is, she makes the most dangerous decision...and finds that this Highlanders touch makes it harder and harder to deny what is happening between them, even while danger wars around them.

HIGHEST RANKING #6 in HISTORICAL FICTION --- Amhuinn Kincaid, exiled from the Kincaid Clan, has spent the last three years as an outcast among the Highlands. She lived alone with her brother Tamhas, and the two siblings rely on each other. However, when her brother ended up in trouble and captured by their former clan, Amhuinn had no other choice but to turn to the clan closest to where she and Tamhas had made their home - no other than Hammond MacKenzie, the unsmiling Laird of the MacKenzie Clan. Hammond remembered meeting the blonde with a limp, just a year ago when he was on his way back from England. He had extended a helping hand back then, offering assistance should they ever need it. He hadn't given it much thought then, but he never expected her to turn up on his doorstep one fateful evening, firmly asking for his assistance and refusing to leave until he agreed to do so. Complying with her requests would mean putting his clan in danger... but it appears that the MacKenzie had found one minx, he would do anything for.Complete
