Now that his twin is blissfully married and starting a family, Anders Sutherland longs for the same happiness. Lasses have always favored him, but he refuses to settle for anything less than a love match. Winning a bride worth keeping for life is a challenge he will enjoy—if he survives. When a storm at sea spits Anders onto a hostile shore, he finds himself falling for the spirited lass who nurses him back to health.
The handsome stranger who shows up at Ailsa Sinclair’s clan stronghold captivates her. Is he friend or foe? Her parents and brother, the heir, are away, so the clans safety depends on her ruling. Then the stranger collapses at the gate, making the decision for her. As she cares for his injuries, she learns why all the lasses sigh over him, and her spark of attraction to him grows into fevered longing.
But Ailsa soon discovers that no matter how he came to them, Highland hospitality be damned, she should never have allowed Anders inside her walls. Fearing betrayal, he has kept an important secret. He’s the son of an enemy laird. Will she fight to save the man who stole the heart she has so carefully guarded for years, or will she let her family toss him in the dungeon—or worse, back into the sea?
Their clans say they’re enemies, but their hearts disagree.
