Book Description:
Overflowing with all of the majesty and intrigue of medieval glory days, this magnificent New York Times bestseller is a page-turner of passion and loyalty, justice and honor. Beloved storyteller Julie Garwood steps back to the silver-shrouded Highlands of her classic tale The Secret -- and hails the return of two unforgettable warriors: Ramsey Sinclair and Brodick Buchanan.
In the dark days after the death of Richard the Lionhearted, lives and lands would fall into upheaval at the hands of a power-hungry British ruler and his violent minions. One victim of the scourge is innocent Gillian, who is a mere child when the cruel and ambitious Baron Alford slaughters her father and tears her family apart. Alford, determined to recover a jeweled box for the despotic King John, is furious when the precious treasure slips through his fingers -- only to be lost for more than a decade.
Now a beautiful young woman, Gillian finds the key to resolving her past in handsome Scottish chieftains Ramsey Sinclair and Brodick Buchanan. With the cunning and courage of the daring Scotsmen, and with the friendship of a new ally, Bridgid KirkConnell, Gillian at last fights the unscrupulous Baron Alford, laying claim to her home, her family, and her father's reputation. But in the presence of the mighty warriors, Gillian and Bridgid discover that desire can be a weapon of conquest...betrayal can slay trust in a heartbeat...and the greatest risk of all is surrender -- to the deep emotions of unexpected love.

This was my first Julie Garwood and OH MY GOD!!!! I loved this book. While I was reading it, I was working full time and planning my wedding. I finished it in three late nights. I was up until two in the morning which for me is incredible. (What can I say, I like my sleep!) I loved Brodick and Gillian. I cried at the end. It was one of my favorite romances and I will always keep a copy of it on my bookshelf!

First I have read of this author. Will read others. If you like stories based with the England/Scotland feud theme then this is the book for you. Suspense, romance, humor - this book has it all. Great read (but does have sex scenes so if not comfortable with them then do not get this book.)

I am new to Julie Garwood books. Lion's Lady got me started and now I'm a junkie! Ransom kept me up all night. I love the dialogue among the characters. Garwood has a wicked sense of humor and I found myself laughing out loud several times.
GREAT escape reading!
