In the Laird's Bed
by Joanne Rock

A Highland Reunion...

Cristiana Domhnaill will shield her family at any cost, even if that means matching wits with the battle-hardened Highland laird who seeks shelter at her keep during a fierce winter storm. Duncan isn't the man she remembers from her past---a suitor who abandoned her long ago. He knows nothing about what she's endured during their years apart.

But Duncan sees a chance to restore a crucial alliance with Cristiana, an idea that is all the more enticing as they spend time together during the long winter nights. Will their new passion survive the secrets and danger that lurk in the shadows of Domhnaill Keep?
