High in the Pyrenees, a band of mercenaries led by
Courtland MacCarrick wages war for General Reynaldo
Pascal. When Court turns on the evil general, Pascal
orders him killed but Court narrowly escapes and exacts
revenge by kidnapping Pascal’s exquisite Castilian fiancée.
Can she deny her passion?
Lady Annalía Tristán Llorente despises her towering,
barbaric captor almost as much as she does Pascal. Her
inexplicable attraction to the Highlander only fuels her
fury. But nothing will stop her from returning to Pascal—
for if she doesn’t wed him, she signs her brother’s death
warrant, as well as her own.
If they survive, can there be love between them?
From the moment Court discovers that Anna’s prim façade
masks a fiery, brave lass, his heart’s ensnared, and he
dares to defy the curse that has shadowed his life—to walk
with death or walk alone. But Pascal vows that he’ll hunt
the two, never stopping until he’s destroyed them
both. . . .
