Synopsis: He wants a wife he can control...

Connor Lindsey is a Highland laird, but his clan's loyalty is hard won and he takes nothing for granted. He'll do whatever it takes to find a virtuous wife, even if he has to kidnap her...

She has a spirit that can't be tamed...

Brina Chattan has always defied convention. She sees no reason to be docile now that she's been captured by a powerful laird and taken to his storm-tossed castle in the Highlands, far from her home.
When a rival laird's interference nearly tears them apart, Connor discovers that a woman with a wild streak suits him much better than he'd ever imagined...


In a word: DELIGHTFUL!

I really enjoyed this Scottish historical romance. Brina and Connor were likable characters and their romance was sweet, sexy and full of sexual tension as the sexual chemistry heated up between them.

Brina was raised knowing she was destined to become a nun. She was not prepared to be a wife. But when her sister destroys the marriage match created for her to Connor, Connor seeks to make Brina his wife instead. He kidnaps her and whisks her away to his Highland castle where they learn to know each other and fall in love.

But love and lust are not enough for Brina to give up what she believes is her rightful place as a nun in the Church. Her word is her honor. Her father trusts her to do right. She wants to honor her father by doing his will- her becoming a nun. Yet she's torn because Connor has her, and wants her for his wife - she can't deny she wants him also. These two have great chemistry together and their love scenes...smokin'!

She has to make a choice between the father she loves and the man she loves. In the end, the question is can they all have what they want?

If you've never read Mary Wine's books and love Scottish Highland romances this is a MUST READ. You won't be disappointed.

*This is book #2 in her Highlander series, but it reads PERFECTLY as a stand alone romance.
