Duty compels her to turn her back on marriage. Fate
drives him to protect her come what may. Then love takes a
hand in this battle of yearning hearts, stubborn wills,
and
a match too powerful to deny. #1 New York Times
bestselling author Stephanie Laurens returns to rugged
Scotland with a dramatic tale of passionate desire and
unwavering devotion.
Restless and impatient, Marcus Cynster waits for Fate to
come calling. He knows his destiny lies in the lands
surrounding his family home, but what will his future be
and
with whom will he share it?
Of one fact he feels certain: his fated bride will not be
Niniver Carrick. His elusive neighbor attracts him
mightily,
yet he feels compelled to protect her—even from himself.
Fickle Fate, he's sure, would never be so kind as to
decree
that Niniver should be his. The best he can do for them
both
is to avoid her.
Niniver has vowed to return her clan to prosperity. The
epitome of fragile femininity, her delicate and ethereal
exterior cloaks a stubborn will and an unflinching
devotion
to the people in her care. She accepts that she cannot
risk
marrying and losing her grip on the clan's reins to an
inevitably controlling husband. Unfortunately, many local
men see her as their opportunity.
Soon, she's forced to seek help to get rid of her
unwelcome
suitors. Powerful and dangerous, Marcus Cynster is perfect
for the task. Suppressing her wariness over tangling with
a
gentleman who so excites her passions, she appeals to him
for assistance with her peculiar problem.
Although at first he resists, Marcus discovers that,
contrary to his expectations, his fated role is to stand
by
Niniver's side and, ultimately, to claim her hand. Yet in
order to convince her to be his bride, they must plunge
headlong into a journey full of challenges, unforeseen
dangers, passion, and yearning, until Niniver grasps the
essential truth—that she is indeed a match for Marcus
Cynster.
