“If I am to be your bride, you must promise me there will be no children for the first year.”
Per the Queen’s Edict, any unwed Highland Laird must claim a bride from the English aristocracy…
Lady Helena would do anything to complete her dream — even defy the Queen’s Edict. But her father’s hounds are after her. So, she decides to ruin herself…by asking the scariest warrior around to kiss her.
Laird Damien would do anything to protect his clan. Even marry. So when the fiery Sassenach begs for his help, he knows exactly what he wants in return: a bride.
Helena has no choice but to accept, on one condition: there will be no bairns for the first year. Now Damien must seduce his own wife…And he won’t stop until she’s writhing and begging beneath him.
