“ Someone must deliver it.” Unlike the rest of His Highness’s entourage, Apraksin was not a soldier, but a courtier. I’d rather face a thousand Cossacks than deliver that damned missive to His Highness.” And when their quest turns dangerous, Alisa and Nik must discover this unknown enemy while facing the dangerous demands of their own unruly hearts.Ĭount Fyodor Apraksin handed the letter to the Master of the Honor Guards, Vasily Rurik, a large bearded man who had the look and fearless courage of a grizzly. Soon their secret partnership leads to growing respect, searing kisses, and then something far more perilous. Is it his obviously educated manners? His arrogant, non-servant-like presence? It’s certainly not his towering, powerful form, or slumberous, inviting green eyes!Īfter confronting the imposter and learning the truth, Alisa agrees to help Nik-for she, too, understands difficult relatives and would do anything for family. Something about the new groom catches her eyes, and makes her think he’s not who he pretends to be-and even more shockingly, stirs her senses. Pragmatic and clever, Alisa MacKenzie has been left in charge of the family estate and her unruly grandmother in her father’s absence.
But his plans go awry when he falls under the cool gray gaze of the laird’s daughter. Wanting to avoid an international incident, Nik plans to quietly slip into enemy territory disguised as a groom at Castle Cromartie. Nikolai Romanovin, a royal prince of Oxenburg, has travelled to the deepest wilds of Scotland to rescue his grandmother the Grand Duchess, who was abducted while visiting an old friend in the Highlands.
