Whisked away from captivity by a dangerously magnetic Scottish laird, Princess Kathryn expects a cold, temporary marriage of convenience—but Robert MacDarren is anything but the dutiful protector she anticipated. As this fierce warrior draws her deeper into the wild beauty of the Highlands, the year-long agreement meant to keep them both safe becomes a battleground of smoldering tension and unexpected connection. With enemies circling and her own heart defying every logical argument, Kathryn discovers that the greatest danger isn't the threats lurking outside castle walls—it's the rogue who's stolen her breath from the moment they met. A sweeping, sensuous tale where passion ignites in the most unlikely circumstances and love becomes the ultimate rebellion.
