And to lead his secret Highland Guard, Bruce chooses the greatest warrior of all. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe ultimate Highland warlord and a swordsman without equal, Tor MacLeod has no intention of being drawn into Scotland's war against the English. Dedicated to his clan, the fiercely independent chief answers to no one--especially not to his alluring new bride, bartered to him in a bid to secure his command of the deadliest fighting force the world has ever seen. The treacherous chit who made her way to Tor's bed may have won his hand, but she will never claim his heart. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlthough her husband's reputation is as fierce as his manner, Christina Fraser believes that something softer hides beneath his brutal shell. But the only warmth she feels is in their bed, in glorious moments of white-hot desire that disappear with the dawn. When Christina's reckless bid to win her husband's love goes awry and thrusts them into danger on the eve of war, Tor will face his ultimate battle: to save his wife and to open his heart--before it's too late.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Monica McCarty\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0345518225\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780345518224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ballantine Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/23\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.00h x 6.40w x 1.18d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/08\/2010 pg. 35\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRomantic Times\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2010 pg. 44 - Excellent\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2010 pg. 63","brand":"Monica McCarty","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981607010559,"sku":"9780345518224","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_39fadb2c-47ec-48ae-a1cd-283a4f06a29a.jpg?v=1683256517","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-chief-monica-mccarty-9780345518224","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
