Once a pampered courtesan in France, Claudia Valemont has
lost her mother, her protector, and her lifestyle to the
French Revolution. To avoid the guillotine herself, Claudia
flees to Scotland to search for her only remaining
relative: the father she has never met.
Instead she finds hardship and heartbreak. Penniless, she
is forced to steal to survive. Her crime nearly lands her
in the hangman's noose—until the hangman himself comes to
the rescue. Pleading on her behalf, he gets her sentence
commuted to a period of indenture in the village commons
under his watchful eye.
Undeniably indebted to her unlikely savior, still Claudia
feels more than gratitude—much more. As a harsh Scottish
winter descends, her Lord Jack just might heal her wounded
heart...
