AN ELITE FIGHTING FORCE UNLIKE THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN . . .
Scouring the darkest corners of the Highlands and Western Isles, Robert the Bruce handpicks ten warriors to help him in his quest to free Scotland from English rule. They are the best of the best, chosen for their superior skills in each discipline of warfare. And to lead his secret Highland Guard, Bruce chooses the greatest warrior of all. ย The ultimate Highland warlord and a swordsman without equal, Tor MacLeod has no intention of being drawn into Scotlandโs war against the English. Dedicated to his clan, the fiercely independent chief answers to no oneโespecially not to his alluring new bride, bartered to him in a bid to secure his command of the deadliest fighting force the world has ever seen. The treacherous chit who made her way to Torโs bed may have won his hand, but she will never claim his heart.
Although her husbandโs reputation is as fierce as his manner, Christina Fraser believes that something softer hides beneath his brutal shell. But the only warmth she feels is in their bed, in glorious moments of white-hot desire that disappear with the dawn. When Christinaโs reckless bid to win her husbandโs love goes awry and thrusts them into danger on the eve of war, Tor will face his ultimate battle: to save his wife and to open his heartโbefore itโs too late.
