The Devious Tempter

Proud Countess Isabella Macduff did not hesitate to challenge the English king and oppose her own husband for the freedom of her native country — and she paid dearly for it. They took her daughter away, tortured her, and held... her in inhumane conditions. And now her only hope and savior is Lachlan Macruairy, who has rescued her from the claws of her villainous husband and vowed to bring her to the court of Robert Bruce, despite numerous dangers.
However, the harsh, battle-hardened, cynical warrior does not inspire trust in the young woman. Instead, it is the passion that has too quickly replaced fear. But can one secretly burn with love for a man while not believing in him for a moment?..
