dreams at night and weird chanting in her head during the
daytime. Catherine believes her only hope is to find a
compassionate husband who will care for her. With her
father's wealth, the search should not be difficult.
However, rumors swirl around the death of her mother, Mad
Glynis, and the persistent tale that the madness is
inherited makes her selections few.
Leaving the woman he loves in order to do his duty,
Highland chief Gabriel MacBraedon arrives in London set to
marry the Farlan Bride. He believes wedding her will break
the three-century-old curse that's been afflicting his
clan; that's left his land barren and his people starving.
Upon meeting Catherine, Gabriel sees a beautiful woman who
doubts his story. Always popular with the women, Gabriel
finds wooing her difficult work, especially when Catherine
is determined to ignore him. Gabriel finds he has no other
option but to kidnap her.

journey to the Highlands. She's afraid to trust him, but
the suffering of his people weighs heavily on her. Gabriel
begs Catherine to leave the past behind and take a chance
on the future.

fills the tale with strong characters and enjoyable
dialogue that make this a good read on a cold winter night.

so why is she having dreams of a Scottish warrior claiming
her for his own? She can't imagine that her heated
fantasies would come true . . . until she locks eyes with
the stranger of her dreams in a crowded ballroom.

Highland chief
Gabriel MacBraedon has come to London in search of
Catherine, the woman an ancient curse dictates to be his

night. Or can he? Nothing is impossible when a Scotsman's
passion is making the rules . . .
