An arranged marriage leads to passionate love in this classic Scottish historical romance from #1 New York Times bestselling author Julie Garwood.
By edict of the king, the mighty Scottish laird Alec Kincaid must take an English bride. His choice is Jamie, youngest daughter of Baron Jamison—a feisty, violet-eyed beauty. Alec aches to touch her, to tame her, to possess her...forever. But Jamie has vowed never to surrender to a man she considers a highland barbarian.
Alec is everything Jamie’s heart has warned her against—an arrogant scoundrel whose rough good looks speak of savage pleasures. While Kincaid’s scorching kisses set fire to her blood, she is determined to resist him...until one rapturous moment quells their clash of wills, and something far more dangerous than desire threatens to conquer her senses...

"it was really great! There was this schtick with Gillian and Brodick, where Brodick would forbid her from doing something, but Gillian would do it anyway. For once, I found the romance-novel schtick cute and amusing. I guess that is just one of Garwood’s many talents! "

— Moviesfreak89, 1/30/2014" I enjoyed this book! I liked the characters, enjoyed the story line & it made me laugh out loud a few times. I think she could of spread it over a bit longer of a time period, for example the heroine has QUITE a day - multiple things happening to her that are important to the story - and it is described as ALL happening in one single day. Good book overall, I would read more from this author :) "

— Elayne, 4/2/2011" I love Julie Garwood's laird series. They were the first romances I ever read and they are always in my re-read pile. They are a lighter read, with witty dialogue. I guess I have a soft spot for my first romances... "
— Whitney, 3/28/2011" I wanted to continue to read the Highlands' Laird series, and it didn't disappoint. I liked the first book better, but this was a fun fast read too. I haven't read much set in this time period and area before, (scotland/england 1100/1200's) and I like it. "
