Templar knight returns home comes home to Scotland to assume the Earldom, inherited after his older brother dies in a skirmish.  But when he accepted this Earldom, unbeknownst to him, he also accepted all that went with it, including the betrothal of a young lady. The wedding is soon, the prospective groom 'would rather burn' than marry her, and the prospective bride has no choice in the matter of her marriage.  But, she has hope.  The storyline flows at a fairly fast pace, with quite a bit of action, some of which is a bit obvious or melodramatic - but nonetheless, this action helped keep my interest. This is the third in a series, but it can be read as a completely stand alone book (which is a good thing).  I prefered the storyline and writing style of this book, as compared to the earlier two.
