"Ye think ye can leave? No, Tara. Ye belong with me now."

When the youngest Gilmour sister is abducted by the fearsome Laird Abernathy, all she expects is cruelty—no desperation. His son is dying, and Tara is the only person capable of healing him. He will do anything, even if it means holding Tara prisoner.

But as the harsh exterior melts away, and heated clashes turn to longing, Tara sees the man beneath the armor; a broken warrior, a desperate father clinging to hope, a man she should not feel drawn to.

She came to heal his son. She never expected to heal him too. And when danger strikes, she will have to decide—run from the Highland beast or fight for the man beneath?
