He will father your children…’When Catriona Hennessy, honourable Scottish Lady of the Vale, receives this prediction, she is exceedingly vexed. How can she unite with a rake like Richard Cynster – a masterful man with a scandalous reputation? More shocking still is her guardian’s will that decrees that she and Richard be wed within a week! Though charmed by his commanding presence, and wooed by his heated kisses, she will not – can not – give up her independence.
