No man would ever have a hold on her again! Romily's heart was sealed. She'd discovered that the man she loved, and who she thought loved her, was married. Hurt and humiliated, she left London for a job as cook at her brother's soon-to-open hotel in the Scottish Highlands. Then she met James Gordon, a Highland laird angry about the encroaching tourists the hotel would bring—and more handsome and virile than the devil himself. Slowly he pried at the seals of Romily's heart. And despite her vow, despite her fears, Romily found his presence exciting, enticing ...and dangerous.
