Perfect for you if...

You love historical romance with genuine tension between characters who actually challenge each other rather than capitulate instantly.
You appreciate Scottish settings and the cultural clash between English propriety and Highland passion.
You want a love story where the chemistry builds through conflict and wit, not just physical attraction.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer modern-day romance or contemporary settings where historical detail doesn't matter.
You're looking for a quick, light read; this has substance and emotional depth that rewards investment.
You need your heroines meek or compliant; Jamie's stubbornness is central to why Alec falls for her.

About this book

By royal decree, Scottish laird Alec Kincaid must marry an English bride. He selects Jamie, the youngest daughter of Baron Jamison, a spirited woman with violet eyes. Alec desires her intensely, but Jamie has sworn never to surrender to what she views as a highland barbarian. Jamie sees Alec as everything she has been warned against—an arrogant man whose rough appearance suggests dangerous passions. His kisses affect her deeply, yet she remains determined to resist him. However, a moment of intense connection shifts the balance between them, and something more powerful than desire begins to threaten her resolve. This book includes an excerpt from another Julie Garwood highland romance, The Wedding.
