On Tabby Lamont's very wedding night, a daring Scottish lord known as the "Rogue" sweeps out of the night to snatch her from the clutches of the wealthy scoundrel who means to make her his wife. Frightened -- and furious -- she is held hostage in the splendor of the Rogue's Highland castle, where she cannot escape his charms. She swears never to submit to his bold desire but, trapped in a dangerous game of power and conquest, Tabby needs an ally. Her brazen attempts to bewitch her captor misfire when her anger melts into need and carries them down a path of sweet seduction. While dark secrets from the past threaten to sweep her away, so does the promise of a blistering, passionate love that could join two wild hearts forever.
New York Times best-seller Virginia Henley is the author of 26 lush and lusty historical romances and 5 short stories. Her books are published in 16 languages around the world. She is the recipient of a dozen awards including a Lifetime Achievement Award from Romantic Times, A Maggie Award for Excellence from the Georgia Romance Writers, and a Waldenbook Award for top-selling long historical for 1994.
The St. Petersburg Times calls Henley "The Queen of Steamy Romance."
Kathe Robin, RT Book Reviews says: "Henley's gift for bringing remarkable women to life in colorful, turbulent times is what turns her romances into keepers. Henley heats up the pages with her love scenes, and her skill at portraying actual historical personages with humanity while maintaining historical accuracy wins our minds. Henley knows what historical romance is all about and always gives the readers what they want."
Henley says: "My hero is always dark, dominant and dangerous. Then I create a woman who is a match for him...or more than a match!
Men come up to me at conferences and thank me for writing my books. One man said, "I don't read them, but I always know when my wife is reading a Henley!"
