A game of treachery they may not survive.The day Elena MacLeod's arrow pierced Rolland MacKay's arse, she fell in love with the ruggedly handsome Scot, despite her better judgment. After all, he was known as the Highland Heartbreaker. Given that, it should have come as no surprise when he disappeared without a trace the day before they were to be wed. But she had become a hopeless fool for the warrior and was devastated. Four years later, when the Highlander resurfaces just as mysteriously as he vanished, Elena is thrilled...until it's clear the rogue doesn't deserve her unwavering devotion.
