Duty and the king have commanded that Rory MacLeod and Isabel MacDonald handfast in order to end a feud that began 2 years before when Isabel's uncle humiliated Rory's sister. Rory's goal is to please the king, and then not marry Isabel once the year of handfasting is over. Isabel has been instructed by her uncle to spy for him and gain information he needs to destroy Rory's clan. Attraction immediately sparks between the two and as they come to know one another better, the plans they secretly hold for betrayal become less and less important, as both try to find a way to make this temporary marriage permanent.
I read some rave reviews for this new author, and just had to give her a try. What I found in this book was a wonderful, sensual and stunning. This author clearly has a talent, and her research and attention to detail were flawless. The characters were very engaging and you really come to care for them and fear for them and hope everything turns out ok. I am thrilled to already own the next 2 in this trilogy and I am excited about the next trilogy that is coming out in '09. This is an author to watch!!!
