Although Ruark Kerr and Rose Lancaster
have just met, their lives are deeply entwined. Ruark has
recently returned home after being at sea for the last
thirteen years to set his brother Jamie free from
imprisonment. Lord Herford, the warden who has imprisoned
Jamie, is an old foe of Ruark’s family and, as it turns out,
Rose’s father. Ruark takes Rose hostage intending to
exchange her for his brother’s freedom, but the more time
they spend together, the more Ruark and Rose like each
other. Fighting their attraction becomes impossible. If
Ruark uses Rose to free his brother, he’ll lose the woman
he’s come to love.
Rose is no docile captive in
Claimed by a Scottish Lord, but she recognizes the
futility of resisting her fate. Her attraction to Ruark adds
to her acquiescence. Rose is graceful and dignified. She’s
passionate and strong. These traits, along with her beauty,
are what draw Rurak to her. Ruark is a warrior, yet he is
compassionate as well. He is in a seemingly impossible
position. Does he free his brother or keep the woman he
loves? The attraction between Rose and Ruark simmers with
sensuality like magic in the air around them. Their desire
for each other is tangible and their emotions easy to read.
Claimed by a Scottish Lord is an enchanting
and timeless tale where a perfect love is found in the
depths insurmountable odds. |
