Beschrijving uitgever
Jemma Ramsden is a wild thing in a noblewoman's body-so thinks Gordon Dwyre, Laird Barras, watching her galloping on horseback through her brother's lands. Bold, headstrong, beautiful: the perfect bride for a lusty Scots warrior. He might be able to convince her, too, if she would hear his suit. But Barras doesn't wait to be handed what he wants. When he's forced to rescue her from English ruffians, he makes sure she stays safe-by locking her in his castle.
Jemma is hardly an eager captive. She has no horse and no freedom, and she is an Englishwoman in a hostile Scots keep: a stranger without work or friend. Barras seems determined to charm her-even tempt forbidden desires, a daring game that leaves Jemma desperate for more. But with passion, love, and a new life within her grasp, Jemma is in more danger than even she knows. . .

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Wine (Highland Heat) turns in another solid Highlands historical. Jemma Ramsden, sister of a baron, is upset that her brother is considering letting Gordon Dwyre, the Scottish Lord Barras, court her. After Jemma encounters a band of English knights and they threaten to rape her, she is rescued by none other than Gordon, who insists on keeping her safe at his castle. As Jemma becomes accustomed to life at the castle, she embraces her attraction to Gordon despite the bitterness of his former mistress. Richly evocative love scenes fill the pages as Gordon and Jemma must make the decision to move from courtship to a more permanent union. The sizzling romance is enhanced by well-crafted characters, the beautiful Scottish Highlands, and 1540s political intrigue.
