A spirited English noblewoman's leisurely ride along the coast takes a thrilling turn when a darkly magnetic Scottish warrior appears in her path—and suddenly her carefully planned life is turned upside down. Abducted by the formidable Heath Kennedy for ransom, Raven expects captivity and conflict, but instead finds herself dangerously drawn to the passionate man holding her hostage. As the border wars rage around them and their connection deepens, Heath makes an impossible choice that could cost him everything—offering Raven her freedom when defying two kingdoms seems far easier than resisting her. This is a gorgeously sensual tale of enemies forced together who discover that love might be the most thrilling rebellion of all.
