At first the reluctant steed had valiantly borne the weight of both men away from the battle. Even the stolen horse seemed to sense it, and it took every ounce of Fraser Lachlan’s considerable strength to urge the flea-bitten animal onward. Warning: Contains a very sexy, masterful highlander and a demure, but defiant, governess who discovers the hard-very hard-way exactly what a Scotsman keeps under his kilt.

But with the legacy of Martha’s scars weighing heavy on her mind, and Fraser’s duty calling him to battle at Culloden, it may be too late to explore whether theirs is a desire born of hate…or love. That kiss unleashes a storm of passion that rages quickly out of control. And she can’t resist cursing her enemy with the “kiss of hate”. Now she has not only one unconscious Jacobite rebel at her mercy, but two. Martha Wantage wears every reason she hates the Scots on her body-in the scars from a violent, fiery attack that killed her family. It’s just a matter of time before Jack is turned over to the Crown as a traitor, but Fraser’s attempt to rescue his friend is met with the blunt end of a candlestick.

But when a kindly English family takes Jack in to be cared for by the governess and healer at their Derbyshire estate, Fraser can only watch helplessly. Stranded in the heart of England after Bonnie Prince Charlie’s hasty retreat, highlander Fraser Lachlan has sworn to stay by his injured friend’s side. A passion that burns away centuries of hate…
