As chieftain of the Clan MacInnes, Lady Isolde will do anything to protect her people -- including sacrifice herself to the enemy. Donall the Bold, laird of the hated MacLeans, lies locked in her dungeon awaiting execution. But rather than slay him, Isolde comes up with a daring plan to forge a lasting peace between their clans.
Though Donall curses his beautiful captor, only a madman would refuse to savor the pleasures beneath that tantalizing aura of dignity and grace. But Isolde offers a mere covenant and Donall craves nothing less than total conquest. Vowing to steal her heart and take his freedom, the renowned warrior instead will find himself in a different kind of prison -- one made of sweet, decadent passion, and one he may never wish to escape.

The result is a series of imaginative love scenes so spicy and over-the-top that readers will be hard-pressed to believe that Isolde is inexperienced. Predictably, love springs from hot sex, and readers who are willin
The multiple choice questions at the end of each chapter come with detailed solutions to let you know why the right answers are right and the wrong ones are wrong (very important!). I really enjoyed the romance story combined with a murder/mystery plotline made this a novelty for someone who reads a lot of romance suspense.
Warning: I’d suggest that anyone who is not much for reading about graphic violence, this story has a lot of graphic battle scenes and images. In fact, after covering several exercises, my hands actually feel quite invigorated. This book has photos and text that are well chosen, insightful and convey a tone of sincere respect for the man, the myth and the legacy.. This was also not a favorite of mine. This could be called a mark of good writing, but in the long run it's confusing to the reader.
And, in its soap opera fashion, the drama between the characters gets a little tiresome. After reading a few chapters, I found this book a difficu
