Rogue of the Borders (40 page)

Jamie studied her a moment longer, then he sighed. “Verra well. If ye must go to London, I will go with ye.”

Rogue of the Borders

Cynthia Breeding

He’s a braw ship commander…until a petite English lass takes command of his heart.

Rogue, Book 3

The first time Abigail Townsend laid eyes on Captain Shane MacLeod, she felt something she’d only read about in books. The Highlander sticks out in London society like a medieval warrior amidst lace-cuffed dandies, which makes him all the more intriguing.

Lord knows, she’s bored with the stuffy, two-faced
ton,
and cares nothing for parties and fashion. She longs for adventure, not tea and crumpets.

By the time Shane realizes the lad his cook hired is a girl—an earl’s daughter, no less—his ship is bound for a secret meeting of the Knights Templar, and there’s no turning back.

Forced into a temporary marriage, Shane calls upon every ounce of his honor to keep her virtue intact—virtue she has no interest in keeping—so the marriage can be annulled after enough time has gone by. And as his resolve weakens, an old enemy takes advantage of his distraction to destroy him—and expose a Templar secret Shane may have to sacrifice his life to keep.

Warning: This title contains sexually explicit scenes and a stubborn young lady determined to get her Highlander.
