A promise made . . .



When Lady Brynne Weston was just fourteen, she made a pact with her brother's friend, Lord Lachlan Campbell, a charming Scottish boy with a rebellious streak that called to her own sense of adventure. If, in ten years, neither was married, they would marry each other. The promise was sealed with a stick of sugar, and then forgotten about...until almost a decade later when Lachlan comes to claim his prize.



A promise broken . . .



The charming, rebellious boy has grown into a charming, dangerously seductive man. And try as she might, Brynne is helpless against the smoldering passion that flares between them. Everything is perfect . . . until a devastating secret comes to light.



A promise that cannot be denied . . .



Betrayed by the man she loves, Brynne flees back to England and resumes her old life as if nothing is amiss. But try as she might, she cannot forgive—or forget—the husband she left. When Lachlan unexpectedly returns to win her back, sparks flame anew . . . but are the ashes of old desires left denied enough to ignite a fire hot enough to burn away old hurts? One thing is certain . . . this Scot isn't leaving without his prize.
