Linnett MacDonnell was the youngest of seven sisters, and not the family beauty. With her flame-bright hair, sharp tongue and strange gift of second sight, no man wanted her. But the devil would take her. Bartered as a bride to her father's long-sworn enemy, the nobly born Highlander Duncan Mackenzie of Kintail, she had no choice but to enter a marriage with a man rumoured to have murdered his first wife and said to possess neither heart nor soul. Forbidding and proud, Duncan Mackenzie wanted only one thing from his new bride - to use her special gift to determine if young Robbie was truly his son. He never expected the MacDonnell lass to stubbornly follow her heart, chase away all the darkness in his castle with light and laughter, and ignite a raging fire in his blood. How dare she defy him, and tempt a devil like him to feel what he feared most of all - love!
