The New York Times bestselling author of The Summerhouse brings her signature "marvelously compelling" (Houston Chronicle) prose to the second historical romance in the charming Edilean series.
Angus McTern is respected by the men of his clan and adored by the women. He takes his duties as laird seriously and has everything he wants in life—until Edilean Talbot shows up.

Breathtakingly beautiful and born of privilege, Edilean needs Angus's help to reclaim the gold she inherited from her father. Unfortunately, when Angus tries to seize it, he's accused of theft, and has to leave behind all that he knows and escape with Edilean to the New World. There they discover almost insurmountable obstacles, and a love as wild and free as the land itself.

Stirring and masterfully rendered, Jude Deveraux "incorporates her trademark sweet and salty characters into a pair of entertaining romances, one past, one present, to create one of her most fun and pleasing tales" (Booklist).
