Title: The Heart and the Rose
Description: A delicate rose.
The war with the rebel Scots has cost Lady Claricia de Clinton everything she holds dear -- her family, her innocence and her cherished dreams of happiness. She has learned to survive by trusting no man. And now she has become the captive of a dashing enemy -- a bold and brazen highland outlaw whom she dares not desire, but whose power over her heart and soul wil redefine her future.

A heart unchained.
Branded a criminal, an outcast in his own land, Alexander Kirkpatrick is sworn to vengeance against the English -- and Lady Claricia, the beautiful niece of his enemy, is the perfect pawn in his calculated scheme. But the proud Scottish warrior's icebound heart cannot withstand the emotions Claricia has ignited within him -- a searing blaze of unrestrained passion that awakens Alexander to a destiny more powerful than clan and duty... and to a love more precious than life itself.
