The Laird's Kiss

Highland warrior Laird Ian Sinclair longs for adventure. After a lengthy time north in the Orkney Isles, he agrees to undertake a rescue mission at his brother's behest. Crossing the English border to retrieve Lady Rhiannon is not going to be easy and could prove deadly. Eager for the daring challenge, Ian dodges the enemy's sword to see his task through. What he doesn't expect is the lady he's charged with protecting is feisty and beautiful-and he has a sudden strong desire to claim her.
Desperate to escape the oppressive rule and depressing future she faces at the hands of her estranged brother, Rhiannon had written her cousin in Scotland, begging for help. When aid arrives, Rhiannon is surprised to find her rescuer is no more than a rogue with a terrible plan. But what choice does she have? She must trust her cousin-and the wild, handsome Scot who promises her safety.
As they race across the border, thwarting her brother's men, Ian must resist the urge to wrap the lady in his arms. Rhiannon finds herself falling hard for the laird, who is willing to risk everything to keep her safe . The pull between them intensifies, and denying their desire gets harder. But neither believes marriage is in their future. If they surrender to love's sweet embrace, can they build a lasting relationship once the danger has passed?
