When sensible Catriona Hurst sets off in pursuit of her
wild twin sister, Caitlyn -- whose plan to trap the
handsome laird of Clan MacLean into marriage will lead her
to sure disaster -- she never expects the journey to end
with her own wedding. First Triona is caught in MacLean's
carriage, thenshe's roundly scolded, and then -- to her
shocked surprise -- thoroughly kissed! She is caught, body
and soul, by the laird's enigmatic younger brother, Hugh
MacLean, who had set a trap for the unprincipled sister and
refuses to believe that he's caught the other. While Hugh
is enchanted by Triona's delightful response to his kiss,
he soon realizes that she is not who he thought, but an
innocent whom honor demands he wed immediately. And he also
discovers that letting the passionate Triona into his bed
is far easier than keeping her out of his many concerns --
even the ones he'd planned to keep secret!
