Bastard son of an English father and Scots mother, Duncan
Maxwell is as untamed as the Scottish borderlands he
defends. Proud and stubborn, he has a fierce hatred for
his father's kin, but with seven motherless children to
feed, he can't afford to turn away the half-drowned
English woman brought to his doorstep. Her fine rings and
clothes tell this powerful, fearsome warrior that she will
ransom well. He doesn't expect this tart, no-nonsense
female to take over his household, open her arms to his
children, and fuel warring emotions within his own heart.
Catherine Armstrong survives a murderous plot and
shipwreck only to become hostage to the notorious Black
Bastard of the Scottish Western March, a legendary outlaw
who makes no secret of his hatred for anything English.
She's determined to protect her family from extortion, but
her handsome, compelling captor awakens the passion she
has so long denied. Despite the whispers that he brings
doom to any woman who dares to love him, Duncan Maxwell
captures her heart. Yet Duncan is ruled by dangerous
torment, and obsessed with the past she has unwittingly
brought back into his life. But in this turbulent country
where passion rages as wild as the wind over the moors,
land and love are meant to be fought for...and won.
