Description:
He tried to run....
In his youth,
Hugh MacCarrick foolishly fell in love with a beautiful English lass who
delighted in teasing him with her flirtatious ways. Yet he knew he
could never marry her because he was shadowed by an accursed family
legacy. To avoid temptation, Hugh left home, ultimately becoming an
assassin.
She tried to forget him....
Jane Weyland was devastated when the Highlander she believed would
marry her abandoned her instead. Years later, when Hugh MacCarrick is
summoned to protect her from her father's enemies, her heartache has
turned to fury -- but her desire for him has not waned.
Will passion overwhelm them?
In hiding, Jane torments Hugh with seductive play. He struggles to
resist her because of deadly secrets that could endanger her further.
But Hugh is no longer a gentle young man -- and toying with the
fever-pitched desires of a hardened warrior will either get Jane
burned...or enflame a love that never died.

Review:
I had read book three first, then read one, and have recently finished two. I have a little bit of a problem, I rarely start a series with the first book. Most of the time I'm so intrigued by the back cover description that I don't notice the book belongs in a series. That said, I really enjoyed this book and, luckily for me, each book could be a stand alone.
