Full Synopsis
Meriel Schellden knows that marrying Craig McTiernay will strengthen the ties between their clans. She insists she is motivated by duty and responsibility, nothing more. But when a mere formality becomes a far from platonic kiss, Meriel must question where her true intentions lie.

Though Meriel entices him far more than she realizes, Craig's commitments have always kept his passions restrained. But no sense of duty to his clan can make Craig forget the way Meriel's touch left him teased, tantalized, and desperate for more. Now, as a surprising rival contends for Meriel's affections, there has never been a better time to listen to what his heart has desired all along.

"Sinclair's newest McTiernay book will make her previous readers roar with laughter and delight while newcomers will be thrilled as her writing reaches out to grab their attention, heart and soul." ---RT Book Reviews
