The Ravished Bride

the long version

Widowed at nineteen and pledged to an elderly monarch at twenty, Margaret Drummond sees her only chance at escape in rebel Jamie MacDonel, the dark-haired giant she had grown up hating. His daring ruse to kidnap and ravish her had only fanned the flames of discord into fury. But the cruel web of intrigue that had been woven around Margaret broke, revealing the dangerous truth. As nations teetered at the brink of war, a refined princess would scorn the English throne to become a bold warrior, risking everything for her own liberty and the life of Jamie MacDonel, never dreaming that in his arms she would find the rapturous freedom and true sovereignty her heart had always craved.
