Lorna lost everything to war. Her home, her wealth... her lover. And
now she wants revenge.
When her hasty plan throws her at the mercy of her enemy’s men, she
holds little hope of returning to her kin and fears death is around the corner.
But could her salvation lie in the arms of her dark captor?
Logan has little time to be dealing with a stubborn noble woman. His
orders are to prepare for war. His laird—the man he owes his life to—intends to
join forces with the Norse and bring a battle to Scotland that will see the
fate of the country forever changed. Scarred, and with no memory of his past,
Logan is determined to forge a new future for himself as well as prove his
loyalty to the laird.
But the beautiful lass has him questioning his previous life and his
goals. When she starts claiming he once loved her, he knows he’s being
manipulated and she’s taking advantage of his memory loss. So why is it so hard
to resist the idea of having once been her lover?
With the threat of impending war—a battle that promises to bring
slaughter to her family—can Lorna persuade Logan to believe her, and is the
bitter man he’s become even worth saving?
Whatever the outcome of the battle, a certain interfering faery is resolved
to see fate back on its correct path. And that means forcing Lorna and Logan
together—no matter their differences.

EXCERPT
Logan clenched his jaw and the roar of the storm sounded
closer. He had to leave yet his feet refused to move. Why stay? Why torture
himself further? His heart pounded against his chest. In the next flash, he was
close once more. Within touching distance. He saw her features more clearly
now. The distress in her eyes, the golden strands of hair curling around her
pointed chin. The fan of her lashes lowered and lifted in one slow sweep until
her gaze locked onto his.
“Logan,” she whispered, voice tremulous, but he did not know
if that was a plea for him to leave or come closer.
“Logan,” she tried
again.
The shaky quality of her voice pulled at his gut. His gaze
traced the curl that flowed over one shoulder and down, caressing her gentle
curves like a lover—like he once had apparently. His palms tingled with the
need to feel the soft give of her flesh beneath him.
The next flash highlighted her trembling form. The fragile
hollow of her neck fluttered with her pulse and his mouth grew dry with the
need to press his lips to it.
Damn her. Like a siren, she lured him in.
He almost backed away. How long they had been standing like
that he knew not. It may have been moments—a mere few flashes of lightening—but
the thickening of the air between them seemed to slow time.
The tremble of her lips gripped his heart, squeezed it hard
and painfully. An aggravating need to take care of her ate into him, softened
him to her.
Logan closed the gap. The next rumble lined up with him
gripping her upper arms and pushing her back against the wall. She gasped, the
sound clear to him even as the skies crashed about them. Hot anger mingled with
need. It burned through him and set his nerve endings alight. How dare she have
such a hold over him, how dare she make him want her?
Soft, delicate
breasts pressed against him. Slim thighs quaked against his. With a hiss of
breath, he lowered his mouth to hers as she stared up at him. Before his lips
met hers, her eyes flashed with a plea, but was she begging him to kiss her or
leave her be? He couldn’t decide what he wanted either, but she left him with
little choice.
The first touch made him wonder if he had not indeed been
struck by lightning. Frissons shot through him, curled into his blood and fired
his fury and lust. Lorna released a tiny sound and he pressed his lips hard to
hers this time. She whimpered. Her lips felt hot beneath his. Her taste
threatened to drown him.
Satisfaction settled in his gut when she arched into him. He
kept hold of her arms, allowing little movement but that up thrust of breasts
and hips into him made him hiss and press harder. He coaxed her lips apart, and
she gasped when he invaded the heated recesses of her mouth. Logan kissed her
deeply, with little apology. He needed this, needed her.
