Lady Rosalyn Carmichael is a woman with secret desires -- a
woman living private fantasies in a dream she's been having
for many years. Rosalyn is waiting for him -- the
one. She knows what he looks like, the man who'll walk
out of her dreams and into her life, the only man she'll
grant her virginity.
Rosalyn's deceitful stepbrother is stalking her. His
twisted plot is to marry her, then do away with her, so he
can gain her inheritance, the one he feels is rightfully
his. One kidnapping attempt has already failed, with the
safety of the people she cares for so deeply being severely
jeopardized. Maybe Rosalyn should just surrender to him and
keep her loved ones safe. Rosalyn knows he won't give up
until he has her exactly where he wants her.
Laird Derek Hardwicke must take a Scottish bride in order
to keep peace within his clan. But one look at Lady Rosalyn
in London, as he rescues her from her evil stepbrother's
latest kidnapping attempt, and Derek's life is changed
forever. He sweeps her off to his remote castle in Scotland
and vows to keep her hidden and safe.
Derek is Rosalyn's dream man, who's walked out of her
fantasy and into her heart. He's a man of honor and
strength, a leader in every way. She wants him with every
fiber of her being. Rosalyn also understands his need for a
Scottish wife, but her feelings are so strong, so powerful,
she's willing to be his mistress, just to have him.
Derek never believed in such a thing as a soul mate. But
Rosalyn is coming to mean more and more to him each day,
and his mind and heart are always filled with thoughts of
her. Rosalyn has filled the empty space in his heart. He
burns for her; they burn for each other.

stepbrother, who will do anything to gain her inheritance.

devilishly handsome looks inspire scandalous fantasies, a
secret from her past means those fantasies must forever
remain dreams....

friend Megan MacPherson, since only a Scottish wife will
satisfy his clan. But beautiful Rosalyn awakens feelings he
never dreamed he'd have. And while he has promised to keep

deny. Now, with danger inching ever closer, he must choose
between his allegiance to his clan and a passion like he's
never known...
