From a New York Times bestselling author whose historical romance writing “hits all the right notes” ( Suzanne Enoch ): Highlander Campbell Sinclair defends a young traveler from bandits, only to discover the lad he saves is actually Joan, a disguised woman on a dangerous mission. As passion flares and secrets unfold, one scroll could change their futures — and hearts — forever.Highlander Campbell Sinclair is no stranger to battle, so when he sees a lad attacked by bandits, he jumps into the fray. He didn't count on being stabbed. Grateful to the boy for nursing him back to health, Cam offers to accompany Jo safely to his destination. But when he accidentally comes across the lad bathing in the river, Cam discovers that Jo is actually Joan with the most sinful of curves.Joan promised her mother she would deliver a scroll to the clan MacKay. But traveling alone is dangerous, even disguised as a boy. When a Scottish warrior lends his aid, she is more than relieved until he surprises her with lingering kisses and caresses that prove her disguise hasn t fooled him. As their passion ignites, will the secrets of the scroll force a wedding and lead to a love she's never known?"
