The year is 1483.  Beautiful Lady Arabella Grey, young cousin of England’s King Richard III, glories in her betrothal to Sir Jasper Keane, protector of Greyfaire Keep, her ancestral home on the treacherous Scottish border.  But as she speaks her wedding vows, the Scotsman Travis Stewart, Earl of Dunmore, strides masterfully into the church, demanding his due for Jasper Keane’s murder of his fiancée.  Bold and brash, he spirits Arabella over the border as his hostage.  Irresistibly, deliciously, Arabella surrenders to her enemy with fierce abandon—knowing that there may be only one way to get what is rightful hers...

"Dinna be afraid of me, lassie," the earl murmured softly.  "I am said to be a skilled lover, and I will treat you gently."
Still aggravated with herself, Arabella snapped, "Is your manroot as big as your pride, my lord?"
"Only sometimes, lovely," he short back with a chuckle, and kissed her mouth.
With the touch of that firm mouth against hers, Arabella felt her body flooded with a delicious warmth.  Thoughts not in her head minutes before were suddenly swirling about in her brain.  She was in bed. Naked.  With a handsome man.  Equally naked.  They were going to make love, a not wholly unpleasant prospect, even if she was more frightened than she chose to admit.  Well-schooled in kissing by her husband over the autumn months, Arabella opened her mouth to him, and his tongue plunging between her lips began a leisurely exploration.
