Arran MacLawry does not play games. Wild, wicked, and extremely self-confident, he has little patience for this year’s season in London, and no desire to meet any innocent, young wallflowers. He only has three reasons to stay in town: wait while his brother, Ranulf MacLawry, prepares for his wedding; keep an eye on his sister as she debuts in London; and watch the movements of his family’s rivals, the Campbells. That is, until he meets a masked, enchanting woman at a ball. Enthralled by her wit and intrigued by her mysteriousness, Arran will stop at nothing until he has this woman, no matter who she is.

The Campbells and the MacLawrys have been at odds for years, so what could possibly change now? Alice knows she should leave Arran with nothing more than the image of her in a mask at the ball. But the sexy, brash Highlander is hard to ignore, and being in the arms of the enemy is just too tempting to resist…
