Lady Amicia MacLean's marriage is all arranged. Her brothers have secured her alliance and she couldn't be more pleased. But nothing could have prepared her for Magnus MacKinnon, who was off fighting an ill-fated battle when his father arranged their marriage as a way to replenish his clan's empty treasury. Magnus would rather restore his family's fortune on his own-without the help of his high-spirited, comely, and wealthy wife. But even he can't deny the mysterious and deadly goings-on that threaten the clan, so he asks for her help- though he knows it comes at a price. And Amicia wants more than just a husband in name only. She wants his love-and won't rest until it's hers.
