"Torn from a pampered life of luxury and thrust into the midst of the Scottish revolution, Serena Marsh is shocked to meet the brutish man who has been assigned to protect her from the rebels trying to kill her--Malcolm Slayter, the most rugged, most dangerous, and most undeniably attractive man she has ever encountered... Malcolm has no loyalties, no country, and no sense of propriety. Hired by her father, Malcolm agrees to protect the lovely lass for a fee. But when Serena challenges Malcolm's authority--and engages him in a risky flirtation--all bets are off. When the battle heats up, it's anyone's guess as to who's seducing whom...and who'll surrender first."--from cover, p. [4].
