Bound by a royal decree, Alec must choose an English bride, and his eyes land on the youngest, most defiant daughter of Baron Jamison. Jamie, with her violet eyes and sharp wit, views Alec as nothing more than a 'highland barbarian' and vows never to surrender to a man she considers uncouth and arrogant.
