Overview

In the Highlands, love is forged in fire-and bound by home. Her agenda is deception. His vow is protection. However, fate has other plans. Lachlan MacLanoch is a Scottish laird with a rake's reputation, yet his past has left him embittered, untrusting of women, and unwilling to marry. When an English aristocratic lass arrives at his Highland estate, he is pledged to protect her virtue-at all costs. But the spirited and beautiful Sassenach is so very, very tempting... To atone for one sin, Lady Helene Beckett is forced to commit another. She undertakes to dupe and seduce the Laird of Drumocher Castle as part of a desperate mission to save her young sister's life. Complications arise when the laird's honourable code of conduct proves impenetrable-and her feelings begin to soften towards him. Outside forces conspire against them-meddling families, secret wagers-forcing Lachlan and Helene to rethink their long-held beliefs. Will it be enough to mend hearts broken by betrayal, heal souls scarred by secrets, and discover a love brave enough to forgive?

Author Information

Before residing in Australia, Vanda's birthplace and early childhood years were spent in Papua New Guinea. At the age of eleven, a holiday in England sparked an interest in the days of old. Castles, ruins and discovering Jane Austen novels inspired a life-long interest in all things historical, a passion that later kick-started Vanda's desire to write historical fiction. Her locale and global visits to faraway places inspire Vanda to create fictitious characters and dramas - past and present - set against authentic and geographical backdrops. The Gold Coast is home to Vanda and her husband where they enjoy walks along world-renowned beaches or a quiet getaway to the lush hills of the Hinterland.
