His betrothal to a wealthy English heiress will solve a decade of problems, and the Scots secret plot to keep King Edward I from getting a foothold on their rugged coastline will secure his familys future. If he must deny himself the spirited woman who would warm his bed and his heart, so be it.Neither is willing to give an inch in this clash of loyalties, but can either defend their hearts?Sensuality Level: Sensual
