Judith Hampton was as beautiful as she was proud and loyal. Her dear Scottish friend from childhood was about to give birth, and Judith had promised to be by her side. But there was another, private reason for the journey from her bleak English home to the Highlands: to meet the father she had never known, the Laird Maclean. Nothing prepared her, however, for the sight of the Scottish barbarian who was to escort her to this land...Iain Maitland, Laird of his clan, a man more powerfully compelling than she had ever encountered. In a spirited clash of wills and customs, Judith reveled in the melting bliss of Iain's searching kisses. Perplexed by her defiance, bemused by her tender nature, Iain felt his soul growing into the warmth of her love. Surely nothing could wrench her from the affection of Iain and his clan...not even the truth about her father, a devastating secret that could shatter the boldest alliance, and the most glorious of loves!
Oh man, it's been ages since I've re-read this one and I loved it just as much this time as I have the others. It's still not one of my favorites but there is still much to love about this book and the characters. So much love for this book.
