It is said that Braden MacAllister, English baron and proud Highlander warrior, can fell an enemy with a single blow and a woman with a single kiss. But not Maggie, it seems. For the fire-haired beauty, determined to end the long running feud that rages between their clan and it's common foe, is immune to Branden's attempts to stop her foolishness. But stop her he will, once he gets the meddling minx alone and favours her with a passionate caress and an irresistible kiss. No matter how she trembles beneath Braden's sensuous touch, Maggie is determined not to yield! As long as this feud continues, the lives of her brothers are at stake and though Braden is known to have bedded many a lass, he has given his heart to none. That is, until Maggie’s stubborn will and tempestuous beauty captivates him like no other woman ever has.
When Braden and Maggie are travelling back to the Highlands – accompanied by Sin, Maggie is disguised as a boy so as not to compromise her. What delight ensues… When the girl realized Maggie had noticed her, she smiled widely, displaying a full set of perfectly white teeth, and toyed with her long blonde braid, giving Maggie a come hither stare that would have made any man puff his chest out in prideful interest. Damn her luck! The girl was more than just attractive, she was downright beautiful. It was then the girl was joined by four more equally attractive lasses. Maggie went cold. Oh bother, they were in trouble now, she realized. She knew the look on the lasses’ faces. Man-hungry. Maggie gulped in fear. The last thing she needed was for one of those lasses to come groping on her body and discover they had a lot more in common than any of the girls could suspect.
