Lady Averill Mortagne learned to control her fierce temper
as a young girl. But if her father insists on parading her
before one more English lord who looks askance at her flame-
colored hair, she'll simply scream! Her only respite is the
time she spends with Kade Stewart, the wounded Scot her
brother brought home from the Crusades. Who could have
imagined a Highland warrior would be the only gentleman
around?
Lady Averill helped save his life, and for that Kade is
truly grateful. She is also almost unbearably beautiful,
but he could never subject such a sweet and gentle lady to
the rough life of a Stewart laird's bride . . . or could
he? When she braves an unexpected danger by his side,
Averill will prove to Kade that her heart is as fiery as
her hair . . . and that submitting to their scorching
passion would be heaven indeed.
