Amid a furious blood feud sparked by a legendary and magical stone, a determined laird seeks peace....

Robert Maxwell, eldest son of the notoriously ruthless Red Rowan, plans to set a new course for his irascible and war hungry family by making peace with the clan's longstanding English rivals. And what better way to mark the beginning of a new era than by wedding the Graham families most precious lady? Peace always comes at a price, and seducing a beautiful lady seems a small one to pay.

Incensed by her brother's scheme to marry her off to a Scottish barbarian, Caroline Graham is shocked to find her betrothed so pleasing to the eye. Nevertheless, she enters into the arrangement with a determinedly icy heart and a vow to resist her husband's every touch. But when she suspects she's merely a pawn in her brother's ultimate plan to destroy his ancient enemy for good--and to find and claim the storied magical stone as his own--Caroline is torn. Robert's bravery, loyalty, and charm have begun to melt her resistance. Is it possible her sworn enemy is really the love of her life?

When Grace learns Noah's engagement has ended in scandal, she shyly offers him her support and her friendship. But Noah's looking for something extra ....

Grace, however, knows exactly what she wants--the kind of ecstasy only Noah can give her. Brazenly, she accepts, and Noah promises to make all her secret fantasies come true . . .
