Jamie MacLeod is the most annoying male Mari has ever had the misfortune to meet. It certainly doesn't help that he's devilishly handsome and as tall and broad as a tree. No matter what Mari's new brother-in-law seems to think, she doesn't need the hulking, kilted Highlander to hover over her during London's Little Season. Jamie longs to return to the Highlands. Chaperoning his new sister-in-law's little sister in London sounds about as pleasant as being strangled by one of those infernal cravats the English insist on wearing, especially since the willful young woman seems determined to slip away from his protective duty. When the McLeod family is threatened, Jamie whisks Mari away to the safety of the Highlands where a stormy love starts to grow, but it soon becomes clear that danger has followed them from London. Contains mature themes.
