"Beautiful and eligible, Briar Blakeley is the beloved youngest sister of a duke. Eschewing the London marriage mart, she has no plans to wed anytime soon... until she's abducted alongside her family's handsome Scottish gardener and cast into a web of intrigue and secrets. Wren Spencer returned from the wars with the French to find a bitter feud has split him from his clan - and his birthright. Putting the rejection behind him, he takes up a quiet life at Blakeley Manor tending shrubbery as the gardener. Three years later, a group of loyal Highlanders are determined to bring Wren home - whether he wishes to go or not. The other problem? They've mistaken Briar for his wife and kidnapped her along with him. Now that Briar has been compromised and carried off to Scotland, she must wed one of two men. The only question is who will she choose? When Wren proposes a marriage of convenience, he tells himself honor drives him - not the ripe lips and bright spirit of the young woman who has resurrected his heart. But when dark deeds threaten his new bride, the Scottish laird finds himself caught up in a dangerous game and must risk his legacy and even his life to save the woman who has become most precious to him."--Publisher.
