Davina Montgomery's father provided the finest soldiers to guard his beloved daughter. But when an army attacks Davina and sets fire to the chapel that houses her, she knows one thing for certain: someone she trusts has betrayed her. Unwilling to cower defenselessly, she grabs a sword and fights her way out. Just as the flames are about to claim her, however, a dark warrior crashes in and plucks her from the inferno. Even though this brutish Highlander saved her life, Davina is unwilling to trust him. After all, he is a brutish Highlander.
Rob MacGregor couldn't care less about Lady Davina Montgomery, much less her beloved England. But he couldn't bear to see this lass come to harm, even though her fiery tongue and her kissable lips make him want to both throttle her and make love to her. Torn between the need to protect her at any cost and the undeniable truth that sheltering her brings danger to his own clan, Rob is forced to choose between love and duty.
