Adam McKendrick has earned the title “the Bountiful Baron” because of his reputation for helping beautiful blondes in trouble. When a lucky hand at cards wins him an ancient hunting lodge, he travels to the wilds of Scotland hoping to escape his reputation—and the hordes of women pursuing him. He certainly doesn’t expect his prize to include yet another damsel in distress looking for a hero.
Princess Giana has fled her kingdom—and the deadly assassins pursuing her—with only a handful of loyal staff to protect her. When the gorgeous gambler shows up at her refuge to claim his winnings, she has no choice but to pose as his maid.
Adam’s clumsy—yet stunningly beautiful—new maid seems more inclined to give orders than to take them. He finds her both infuriating and irresistible. As his desire for Giana’s touch begins to consume him, Adam must decide if he wants to once again play the hero…or the rogue…
