1589. D'un bout à l'autre des Highlands, les Sinclair et les Sutherland se livrent une guerre sans merci depuis des décennies. Quand le patriarche Sinclair est abattu sur ordre d'Arabella Sutherland, Cain, son fils aîné, pourchasse la jeune fille et réussit à la capturer. Plutôt que de la passer au fil de son épée, il a une idée : il va l'épouser et deviendra, de fait, le chef des deux clans. Or, Arabella est têtue comme une mule et préfère mourir que de se soumettre. Comment l'amadouer ? Peut-être en jouant de son tempérament fougueux qui doit cacher bien des trésors de sensualité...

Cain Sinclair has a plan. In order to finally bring peace to his clan, he will wed the young female chief of their greatest enemy. Only problem: capturing her and forcing her back to Sinclair castle doesn’t exactly make her want to say yes. Ella Sutherland may be clever, passionate, and shockingly beautiful, but what she isn’t is willing.

Every attempt Cain makes to woo her seems to backfire on him. A gift? The kitten practically claws his eyes out. A competitive game of chess? Even when he wins, he loses. It seems the only time the two ever see eye to eye is when they’re heating up Cain’s bed. Still, the only thing Ella truly wants is the one thing he cannot offer her: freedom.

But when Cain discovers she’s been harboring a secret—one that could threaten both clans’ very existence—he’ll have to decide between peace for the Sinclairs or the woman who’s captured his heart.
