TheNew York Timesbestselling author ofRules for a Proper Governessreturns with an engrossing tale that promises to delight lovers ofOutlander. 1745, Scotland- The youngest son of the scandalous Mackenzie family, Malcolm is considered too wild to tame . . . until he meets a woman who is too unattainable to resist. Lady Mary Lennox is English, her father highly loyal to the king, and promised to another Englishman. But despite it being forbidden to speak to Malcolm, Lady Mary is fascinated by the Scotsman, and stolen moments together lead to a passion greater than she'd ever dreamed of finding. When fighting breaks out between the Highlanders and the King's army, their plans to elope are thwarted, and it will take all of Malcolm's daring as a Scottish warrior to survive the battle and steal a wife out from under the noses of the English. Praise for the Mackenzie series 'Skillfully nuanced characterization and an abundance of steamy sensuality.'Chicago Tribune 'Big, arrogant, sexy Highlanders - Jennifer Ashley writes the kind of heroes I crave.'
