Back in her native New York, Joan Rigby is a self-assured police officer who finds herself out of sorts after undergoing a bad break up; confining herself to her home for a long vacation that feels like anything but. When she wins a radio station trivia contest that entitles her to a free trip to the Scottish Highlands, she looks forward to the escape; a frivolous journey sure to take her mind from the sublime pain of her heartbreak. Until, that is, her escape whisks her away to another century; and to the home of a Scottish Highlander who takes her breath away. Under threat of an attack from a neighboring rival, Adaire McDougall orders a guard from his family home; and when a strong, willful woman appears suddenly and magically to fill the role, Adaire finds that he just might lose his heart to the woman who guards it. **Warning! **This ebook contains explicit scenes of passion and desire.
