Framed for a crime he did not commit, Duncan Campbell, the illegitimate
son of a chieftain, has returned to the Highlands, determined to clear
his name after ten years in exile. He is drawn to the unforgettable
sensual beauty of Jeannie Gordon, the headstrong girl who once pledged
him her love, gave him her innocence, and then betrayed him. Now, in the
glow of the moonlight, she defiantly shows Duncan the bad end of a
pistol.

Jeannie is stunned to discover that the broad-chested
brigand she just shot is the rogue who broke her heart years ago. No
longer a starry-eyed girl but a woman with dangerous secrets, Jeannie
cannot forgive Duncan's shattering mistrust of her—nor can she sign his
death warrant by turning him in. Soon passion flares hotter and bolder
than before, sealing a fate the one-time lovers can no longer deny.
Caught up in a deadly game of murder and intrigue, Jeannie is willing to
risk everything for a man and a love she vows never to lose again.
