But prayers can only do so much when the Devil claims you. Now trapped with the most feared man in the Highlands, she must find a way to survive him. For it's not fear his dark gaze inspires... And it's not escape she needs. When he whispers what he wants to do to her, her body craves for something else entirely... *** Love has ruined everyone Laird Ciaran cares about.
