Proud and fiercely independent, Sheena knows what her duty is as jewel of the Fergusson clan: She must wed to put an end to the feud that has devastated her family. But though she agrees to marry Jamie MacKinnion, she will never give herself completely to the dark and dangerous laird.
Pride insists that she hate her husband-to-be, the most feared man in the Scottish Highlands. Why then can't she deny the desire awakened by Jamie's surprisingly gentle touch? He is her captor and her enemy, yet Sheena's heart is the real traitor, for it begs her to surrender freely to a passion beyond bounds and to a man she dare not love.
