Taming the Scotsman (Brotherhood of the Sword, #4; MacAllister, #3)

No one can tell the hot-blooded Scottish lass whom to marry! But the much-feared man Nora runs to for protection may be more perilous to her heart than any unwanted groom... And much more difficult to tame! Nora is a woman with a mission. Rather than be forced to endure a loveless marriage, she has fled her home, bound for England. Theres one small problem, though; she needs a guide, and the best choice is Ewan MacAllister, the only man both her father and her fianc fear. Beneath Ewans rough and tumble exterior, however, she finds the heart of a loyal friend, and suddenly, more than to be free, she yearns to tame the proud Highlander who protects his wounded heart. Tormented by his past, Ewan wants only to be left alone. Until the fiery lass forces herself into his remote home and refuses to leave unless he escorts her far away from Scotland. Ewan thinks her mad, especially given her claims to be none other than niece to the Queen of England, but he cant let her travel about the countryside unescorted. In spite of her unorthodox ways and stubborn nature, she is rather fetching for a bold lass. And to his deepest chagrin, he finds himself wishing for the one thing he never thought to have. A brave Highland lady to call his own Fleeing a loveless marriage, Nora enlists the aid of Ewan MacAllister, the only man feared by her father and unwanted fiancé, to protect her on the journey from Scotland to England, only to fall for the proud Highlander with the dark past and wounded heart Title from title screen (viewed on Feb. 7, 2006).
