A spirited Scottish beauty with a reputation as fiery as her copper-red hair is thrust into marriage with a formidable enemy warrior, and she's determined to turn the tables through sheer force of will and charm. But Lord Ramsey Douglas proves far more complex than the fearsome brute she expected, and Tina soon discovers that her schemes to dominate him are melting into something far more dangerous—genuine desire. What unfolds is a clash of pride, passion, and unexpected tenderness as these two proud Scots navigate the treacherous line between conquest and surrender. This is enemies-to-lovers magic at its finest, complete with sparks that ignite both on and off the page.
