SummaryFrom bestselling author Nicole Jordan comes a tale of
timeless beauty, fierce passion, and heart pounding love
in Scotland's untamed Highlands.
Niall McLaren was as dangerous and beguiling as the
Highlands itself, a man unparalleled in the arts of war
and of love. Even in the stately ballrooms of Edinburgh
where Sabrina Duncan first laid eyes on the powerful laird
who would one day be her husband, he exuded an
intoxicating sensuality. It was rumored that the touch of
his lips could draw the very soul from a woman's
body—and when he pulled Sabrina into his arms, she
had no doubts: the kiss he stole from her that moonlit
night was like a brand on her soul, leaving her longing
for more.
A promise made long ago binds Niall McLaren to wed the
eldest daughter of a neighboring laird to unite the two
clans. Then Niall recognizes Sabrina as the enticing lass
whose kisses enflamed his passion long ago. Now the
married life he once dreaded becomes a world of unexplored
pleasures. Yet for all their beauty, the wild hills of
Scotland are a place where ancient feuds and hidden
secrets create unimagined peril for the lovers. For in the
untamed Highlands, two hearts must clash before they learn
to beat as one.
Note from Nicole Jordan: "In April 2004 Ballantine
is releasing a new version of my sizzling Scottish
Highlands romance. I was delighted for the chance to
rewrite THE LOVER to match my original vision of
the story. I've taken out several scenes of darker
conflict that my previous editor requested and made this
marriage of convenience tale much more romantic."
