"A widow at sixteen, Lady Johanna vowed to never remarry--until a king's decree forces the golden-haired beauty into an arranged marriage. Then her beloved foster brother intervenes to replace the cruel man chosen for her with his friend, the handsome Highlands laird Gabriel MacBain. At first, Johanna is shy and afraid, but as Gabriel's brusque side gives way to tenderly reveal the splendid pleasures they will share in the marriage bed, she soon finds herself falling in love with her powerful, gallant new husband. But now a desperate royal intrigue threatens to tear her from his side--and to destroy the man whose love means more to her than she had ever dreamed"--Back cover.
