A DARING SCOTS LASS. A RECKLESS ENGLISH ROGUE. FROM A LEGACY OF HATRED. A SHINING LOVE WOULD EMERGE...The lovely Ellen Irvine struggled against the faceless man who abducted her from her birthday banquet. Instants later, the ravishing firebrand was kidnapped a second time!In a devil's choice, Ellen married her last captor, the dashing, laughing-eyed pirate, Red Harry Graeme. An Englishman, her family's sworn enemy and orphaned by her father's own hand, he was hardly the suitor to win her heart. Yet a glorious passion conquered their enmity, and he claimed her with searing, searching kisses that sealed their vows in love. Then Ellen discovered a heart-shattering secret--that her beloved's golden ardor for her was but a shadow of the white-hot hate he bore her father. And she was to be the instrument of Harry's bitter vengeance.But when she uncovered a tragedy buried deep in the past, Ellen would seize the chance to restore peace between the warring clans. In a final, bold act, she would defy her people's ancient precepts for the sake of a love more precious than kin, blood or life itself...
