About this book
The Bride A Scottish laird forced to marry by royal decree locks eyes with a spirited English beauty and is utterly determined to claim her—but she's equally stubborn about resisting this rough Highland warrior. Their collision is explosive, filled with witty clashes and sizzling tension that neither of them can quite deny, no matter how hard Jamie tries. As passion ignites between them, what began as a battle of wills transforms into something neither expected—a connection that threatens to break down all her carefully constructed defenses. This is classic Garwood: enemies-to-lovers romance with heart, humor, and those swoon-worthy moments that make you believe in the power of love to change everything.
