Poglavar

A supreme Highland warlord and a swordsman without equal, Tor MacLeod has no intention of being drawn into Scotland's war against the English. Devoted to his clan, the chieftain fiercely defends his independence and answers to no one - least of all his attractive new bride, acquired in the negotiations that secured his command of the deadliest fighting force the world has ever seen. A deceitful girl has found her way to Thor's bed and may have won his hand, but she will never win his heart. Despite her husband's reputation as fierce as his demeanor, Christina Fraser believes that beneath that brutal armor lies something softer. But they share warmth only in bed, in glorious moments of ardent desire that fade with the dawn. When Christina's reckless efforts to earn her husband's love go awry and bring them to the brink of war, Tor will face the ultimate battle: he must save his wife and open his heart before it's too late.
