Lord Curan Ramsden is home from war and eager to claim his betrothed. And he arrives just in time - his bride's father has summoned her to London to wed another man. But Bridget's father promised her to Curan, and he should know better than to cross a Highlander. Especially now that Curan sees the luscious young woman Bridget has become. Bridget has always done her duty. She knows what could happen if she disobeys her father. But though Curan seems even more dangerous now than he was before the war, his kisses are beyond tempting. And he is determined to convince her that following her heart is more important than any duty.
