For the sake of her clan, she must marry Alexander McNaughton, the ruthless leader of her rival clan - the same man that gave her up so easily ten years ago and made her lose all her faith in men. Not ready to spend the rest of her life with the man she loathes, she vows to make his life a living hell until he gives up and sets her free.

Thus, in the guise of an alliance, he must have her as his wife even though she wants nothing to do with him. Will Alyssa ever learn to love her husband and believe his love to be true? Will Alex ever be able to win his wife’s heart or give up trying? This book contains language, situations, or images appropriate for mature audiences.
