Son of an Earl (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781946510860)

They disliked each other from the beginning.

Sir Hugh immediately suspects the mysterious woman who lurks in the shadows at his cousin's wedding. He'd allow no one put his family's safety at risk, not even a beautiful Italian-born Frenchwoman whose obstinance Hugh finds strangely intriguing.

When he finally learns Lady Cressida's true purpose, his attraction for her only intensifies.

Now they are working together, his desire for her proving nearly as dangerous as their mission as he escorts her north into the Scotland borderlands. By the time Hugh and Cressida reach the outlaw William Wallace's camp, Hugh is nearly willing to follow his brother's foolish path toward love.

Until disaster strikes.

Hugh must rely not only on his training as the son of an earl but also on the lessons he learned from his father's old friends- the infamous border reivers-if he is to save Cressida.

In truth, if he is to save himself.
