<B>Bronwyn MacArran was a proud Scot. Stephen Montgomery was one of the hated English.</B> <P> He came to Scotland as a conqueror, saw her beauty and was vanquished. But still she would abhor him. <P> She owned a temper hot enough to forge the armors of battle or inflame a valiant soldier's passion. Yet still she would resist him. <P> She became his reason to live, his reason to love. And still she would deny him. <P> But while clan fought clan, while brother took up sword against brother, and the highlands ran with blood -- their destiny was made...and this mighty warrior pledged himself to his woman's pride, her honor and her name -- and made of their love a torch to burn through the ages!
