After her stepsister is accused of murder, Laurie Halliot pledges herself as a hostage until the truth can be uncovered. To protect her honor, her Scottish father insists she marry her jailer, Sir Hugh Graham, English brother to Scottish heroine Janet the Bold. Hugh tempts Laurie as no other man has. If she is to regain her freedom, she must stay out of his bed, but how can she deny her own dangerous passions?
Amanda Scott has done it again. A great story. The hero's too-kind Aunt Marjory is hysterical. Everyone knows someone just like her. The plot is clever, and the author's ability to carry the reader right into late 16th century Scotland is truly amazing. I don't know what book that first reviewer read, but it can't have been this one. If you're looking for a page-turner, this is it!
