Publisher's summary

An arranged marriage leads to passionate love in this classic Scottish historical romance from #1 New York Times bestselling author Julie Garwood.

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 favorite books.

This is one of my favorite books, so being able to actually listen to it rather than read it means a lot. The narrator is amazing, and brings life to the characters.

The best audio narration I've ever heard.

Fun story with a strong heroine! The narration, though, is the gem of this offering. Wow!

A Highland Treat

Garwood weaves an arresting (meaning; difficult to put down)story of life, customs, conflicts, survival and characters that you wind up caring about all sprinkled with delightful subtle humour and lusty romance.. wouldn't miss a thing Garwood wrote ❗️❗️

A very entertaining listen/read. Read a hardcopy of the audio several years ago. Good read then and a good listen now.

Really good book

I love Julie Garwood. This is my 3rd favorite in the historical series. Like the others she has managed to put a lot of humor in the story and a very intriguing mystery.
