As a classic of the high-lander romance subgenre, this book offers the same alpha-hero appeal and Scottish setting that 'If You Dare' fans crave. It balances intense physical attraction with a sense of destiny and high-stakes drama.

Like 'If You Dare,' this book features a misunderstood and highly intense hero who is an outcast from society. The narrative focuses on a deep, soul-level connection and the heroine's ability to see the man behind the fearsome reputation.

This is a quintessential 'enemies to lovers' historical romance that matches Cole's ability to create high-tension confrontations between strong-willed leads. The atmosphere is grand and the emotional stakes are incredibly high.
