He was a man exiled from society — handsome,
unpredictable, and proud. Dark rumors surrounded his name.
But Anne Burnett had signed a marriage contract binding
her to Aiden Black, the Earl of Tiebauld. And although
she'd never met him, she's determined to keep her word and
make theirs a marriage in truth. Because a well-bred lady
with little fortune to recommend her has no choice.
From the moment she arrived, Anne fell in love with Kelwin
Castle and its roguishly handsome laird. By day, he
instills a fierce loyalty in his people with his masterful
ways...and by night, he tempts Anne to surrender her
innocence to him. But while he is willing to offer his
body. Aiden refuses to give Anne his heart...making her
wonder what prevents him from truly claiming her as his
wife.
