Heโs a braw ship commanderโฆuntil a petite English lass takes command of his heart.
The first time Abigail Townsend laid eyes on Captain Shane MacLeod, she felt something sheโd only read about in books. The Highlander sticks out in London society like a medieval warrior amidst lace-cuffed dandies, which makes him all the more intriguing.
Lord knows, sheโs bored with the stuffy, two-faced ton, and cares nothing for parties and fashion. She longs for adventure, not tea and crumpets.
By the time Shane realizes the lad his cook hired is a girlโan earlโs daughter, no lessโhis ship is bound for a secret meeting of the Knights Templar, and thereโs no turning back.
Forced into a temporary marriage, Shane calls upon every ounce of his honor to keep her virtue intactโvirtue she has no interest in keepingโso the marriage can be annulled after enough time has gone by. And as his resolve weakens, an old enemy takes advantage of his distraction to destroy himโand expose a Templar secret Shane may have to sacrifice his life to keep.
