What’s a well-meaning English miss to do when a surly Scottish Highlander refuses her charity? Alasdair Sinclair, the Earl of Sinclair and Montleith, has always been a man bold enough to accept any dare. But after losing his Highland regiment to the horrors of war, he builds an impenetrable fortress around his heart. He never expects to find that heart under siege by a determined English lady who storms the Returning Soldiers’ Hospital looking for a soldier to adopt. Phoebe Osborne founded “The Charlotte Society” with her two best friends in the hope of helping some poor soldier return to the life he left behind. Instead, she finds herself engaged in a battle of wits and wills with an infuriating Highlander who scorns her charity as pity. Despite his resistance to her charms, Alasdair’s thick, black curls, piercing green eyes, and husky burr tempts her to surrender her kisses—and her heart. Beneath Phoebe’s cool blonde exterior, Alasdair discovers a passionate warmth that threatens to melt his every defense and challenges his warrior’s heart to accept the most dangerous dare of all—falling in love...
Author
Rebecca Hagan Lee has had many different jobs, earning her beads of experience on the necklace of life with each one, but her desire to write was constant. After graduating from college, she set out to make her mark in the world of television journalism, but somewhere along the way, she decided she was a small town girl at heart and settled in a town where the media consisted of a weekly newspaper and an AM radio station. Seeking a creative outlet, she turned to writing romance and began to write stories far different from those in the world of television news, but not that far removed from the hundreds of episodes of Daniel Boone, Big Valley, Gunsmoke and Bonanza she had watched growing up. She decided to create stories where good guys win, bad guys lose, prostitutes have hearts of gold and the heroes and heroines who fall in love and persevere are richly rewarded with incredibly bright futures and happy endings. In her world, heroines don't die or get killed off to make way for the next episode's new love interest. Her heroines get their men and help them become ideal husbands, lovers, friends and fathers. Rebecca lives in a small southern town with her husband, a miniature schnauzer, two rat terriers, a half dozen barn cats, and two extraordinary horses. She is currently seated at the computer working hard to make her dreams come true, or riding off with her hero into the sunset. . .
