Tempt Me With Kisses

So when enchanting, flame-haired Fiona MacDougal rides into his castle courtyard announcing that she is willing to become his bride, Caradoc of Wales knows to be wary—even of such a beautiful Scottish lass bearing gifts.

Arriving with three covered wagons laden with French wine and silver coin, she boldly proposes to clear his royal debts in exchange for his title. Any impoverished Welsh baron facing King Richard’s tax collectors would look twice at such an astounding bargain!

Yet between his sour housekeeper’s dark warnings of witchcraft and a headstrong sister outraged by the match, his household is already up in arms. A proud warrior should never let an outspoken merchant’s daughter dictate terms inside his own fortress!

• Marriage of Convenience: Fiona offers three thousand marks in goods and silver to clear Caradoc’s debts in exchange for his noble name, hoping a titled Welsh husband will shield her from a deceitful past.
• Forced Proximity: Sharing a bedchamber beneath the leaky slate roof of Llanstephan Fawr, an aloof Welsh lord and his outspoken bride discover that feigning cold indifference in close quarters is impossible.
• Slow Burn: Behind Caradoc’s prickly warrior facade lies a solitary man who never forgot the girl who once waved to him from the courtyard, slowly learning to lower his defenses and trust again.
