Now, learn all about this magnificent family from the very beginning…
Niall MacDonald's every move filled Caitlin MacLeod with intense longing. And this independent daughter of a powerful Scottish chieftain-a woman who'd vowed never to belong to any man-willingly surrendered her love. She never imagined he was her sworn enemy, a man who had seduced her solely for gain. He wedded and bedded her, then fled with her clan's most priceless treasure. Driven by rage and heartbreak, Caitlin vowed to reclaim what was rightfully hers . . .
Caught in a trap of his own making, Niall cursed the fates for placing a tempting woman like Caitlin between his clan and his honor. He'd made his choice and paid the price with his heart and soul. Now, suddenly, he has been given another chance. Once again, he will have to choose. And once
