Fifteen years after he was kidnapped and sold into slavery, Aidan returns to Scotland to find the home he knew long gone. His mother, a proper education, a chance at love -- gone. All he has now are dreams of vengeance…

But when Aidan shows her a clue to his tortured past, she'll be thrust into a dangerous game of passion and deception that will awaken the sexy heroine within -- if it doesn't kill her first…
