Scotlandâs King Robert the Bruce is retaking his kingdom from the invading English. To win, heâll need all the grit and courage of his elite band of warriors, the Highland Guard, men who fight without fear and love without limits.
Â
Fiery, aggressive, and bold, Kenneth Sutherland is a true championâskilled with any weapon and driven to win. Now Kenneth is ready for his greatest challenge: joining Robert the Bruceâs secret army to fight among the elite. Kennethâs best chance to attain that honor is by winning the Highland Games. Focused and prepared for victory, he is caught off guard by a lovely wisp of a womanâand a stolen moment of wicked seduction. Her innocent arousal and her shameless hunger fire his blood. He will win his place in the guardâand in Mary of Marâs bed.

Nothing, she swears, will persuade her to give up her hard-wrought independence and put her fate in the hands of another powerful man. But with every gentle touch and heart-pounding kiss, Kenneth makes her want more. Now Mary wants his heart. But is this determined champion willing to surrender everything for love?
