An Irish warrior takes an arrogant heiress captive to ensure a debt is paid. What could possibly go wrong? Irish warrior Máel has come to a grand tournament to collect a past due payment from a noble lord. When the scheming baron has no interest in paying, Máel takes the one thing the man holds dear: his beautiful, arrogant daughter, Cassia. Lady Cassia d'Argent has no time for warriors. Heiress to a barony, she knows her value: a pawn. She intends to make the most of it. Her wily father plans to wed her off to the highest bidder at the tournament, and Cassia will finally achieve her dream: a chivalrous knight in glittering armor to honor and esteem her. Only Máel is nothing like her dreams. He is bold, outspoken, has furs on his bed, and awakens a desire inside her more dangerous than a thousand swords. What if this man becomes the dream she never dared to dream? What if her father never pays the debt? Worse...what if he does? Can she rely on an outlaw to be more chivalrous than a knight?
