When Kimberly Richards finds herself bereft of a fiance, she has little choice but to follow her father's commands and take a husband-finding visit to a duke and duchess. The Duchess locates a suitable, if penniless, Scottish laird for Kimberly's consideration, little realizing the man would turn out to be the reiver who'd kidnapped the Duchess a year earlier. Kimberly is impressed upon sight of Lachlan MacGregor, but not by his manners or his immediate interest in stealing the Duchess from her husband. Lachlan is so overjoyed to be reunited with the woman he's dreamed of for months, he barely notices the woman he has agreed to consider for marriage, but after her bold setdown for his behavior, Lachlan begins to pay more attention. Something about Kimberly keeps pulling Lachlan's thoughts from the Duchess, especially once he gives into the temptation of kissing her. Kimberly is drawn to the light-hearted Scot and finds his touch heavenly. Secrets are revealed that bring both anger and happiness, and freedom for Lachlan and Kimberly to unite, and meet in love forever.
