About this eBook

An arranged marriage leads to passionate love in this classic Scottish historical romance from #1 New York Times bestselling author Julie Garwood.
 
By edict of the king, the mighty Scottish laird Alec Kincaid must take an English bride. His choice is Jamie, youngest daughter of Baron Jamison—a feisty, violet-eyed beauty. Alec aches to touch her, to tame her, to possess her...forever. But Jamie has vowed never to surrender to a man she considers a highland barbarian.
 
Alec is everything Jamie’s heart has warned her against—an arrogant scoundrel whose rough good looks speak of savage pleasures. While Kincaid’s scorching kisses set fire to her blood, she is determined to resist him...until one rapturous moment quells their clash of wills, and something far more dangerous than desire threatens to conquer her senses...

Includes an excerpt of another beloved Julie Garwood highland romance, The Wedding

A pleasant reading experience. This was an ordinary story of a couple who were forced to marry but who grew to love each other by the end. I had a few laughs at all Jamie's attempts at finding her place with her Scottish husband and his clan. Alec was grumpy at first but gentle with her. I loved their bantering and the sparks that flew between them.

I read this book years ago and found it at second book store. I absolutely loved it!!! I love how Jamie bosses Alex around but in a subtle way. I have several of her books and love everyone!

I've purchased multiple copies of Julie Garwood's early books & read them until they've fallen to pieces. Now that won't happen. The bride is a fast paced engaging story. And like her other works hard to put down until you finish it.
