When Princess Kathryn Kentyre is snatched from a life of captivity by the mysterious Black Robert of Craighdhu, she is torn between absolute terror and soaring hope. He had been chosen to protect her from the dangers surrounding her, yet the moment he swept her away she knew this rogue of a Scottish lord would prove a greater threat than any she faced from her enemies.
Sensuous as sin itself and wild as his native Scottish Highlands, Robert MacDarren had no intention of settling down with one woman. Yet the agreement he'd struck to keep the peace required he marry the orphaned beauty and bring her back to his castle at Craigdhu for safekeeping. It was to be a marriage in name only - and only for one year. He never suspected that the meek hostage he had been promised would prove to be this firebrand of a woman who would challenge his mind, arouse his passion, and lay siege to his heart.

This is a really rousing and good historical romance. Set wonderfully in the highlands of Scotland. My personal favorite place for a romance novel. The hero is fantastic and the heroine is smart and funny. First rate.

Johansen as she was many years ago, when she first started writing. A delightful, romantic story of Elizabethan times.
