A Lady's Choice Frustrated by the outrageous demand that she choose a husband or have one chosen for her, Mackenna Hughes blindfolds herself and vows to wed the first man she touches in the circle of eager suitors that surrounds her. But as she swirls among the village merrymakers, MacKenna suddenly crashes into a towering rocklike body . . . and looks up into the dark, penetrating eyes of a total stranger! A Lord's Challenge Lord Thomas Montclaire has been sent by King Edward to take over the village and MacKenna's family castle. Now he lays claim to the reckless, scarlet-haired rebel who blindly made her choice, yet denies his right to either her village or herself. Her brazen courage amazes him, but her stubborn pride and fiery beauty stir a storm in his blood, and he vows he will wed her, tame her, and claim her wild, rebellious heart as she has claimed his.
