Victoria Green is still grieving for her brother''s death when she receives the news that she is going to marry Sebastian, her scoundrel cousin, who is addicted to gambling and whom she hates. Her prayers to escape this wedding are heard, but what she didn''t expect is that her savior—or, in this case, her captor—was precisely her brother''s murderer. Archie McGregor, the chief of clan McGregor, from the Scottish Highlands, is being accused of a crime he didn''t commit. His brother is being kept prisoner in England to force him to surrender, but he wants to prove his innocence no matter what. To buy time or use her for hostage exchange, he kidnaps Victoria Green, but he didn''t expect that taming his captive and his heart would be harder than proving his own innocence. As soon as he lays eye on Victoria, he knows, deep in his heart, that he will never be able to let her go. In between kidnappings, escapes and betrayals, both find an inexplicable and intense love arise between them. Yet could love alone be able to break the barriers that keep them from consummating that passion? Can Victoria put aside her wish for revenge, and will Archie be able to forget the demons of his past, so they can have a future together?
