The tides of war have turned for the valiant Scots led by King Robert the Bruce, and they boldly reclaim lands still ruled by the English. When Jamie Graham comes to seize Hamstead Heath, he has no need for a hostage—not even one as beautiful and spirited as Christina, the manor’s chatelaine. After her attempts to trick him fail, she insists that he take her away as his hostage. Though he is certain this confounding woman is trying to play him for a fool, Jamie is determined to claim the sweet temptation she offers...

Christina has but one goal in mind—to free her brother from the fortress of the new English king who has accused her family of treason. Her growing love for her unwilling captor is both unexpected and show more thrilling, yet it must not deter her mission—to master the art of jousting, win a tournament in disguise, and secure her brother’s release. She cannot foresee the twist of fate that will threaten all she holds dear: her life, her lands...and the man who has captured her heart. show less
Za časů války mezi Skoty a Angličany přijíždí k panství Hamstead Heath družina vedená Jamiem Grahamem. Urostlý rebel nechce po tamní paní nic víc než peníze, ale hrdá Angličanka mu místo toho nabídne sama sebe. Klade si jedinou podmínku? Aby ji vzal s sebou jako svou zajatkyni. Jamie původně neměl nic takového v úmyslu, ale nedokáže odolat sladkému pokušení, které mu půvabná šlechtična přislíbila …

Christina je ochotna učinit vše, aby vysvobodila svého bratra z vězení, kam jej uvrhl anglický král za domnělou zradu. Doufá, že jako rukojmí vzbouřeneckého Skota zmírní vladařův nespravedlivý hněv, který dopadl na celou jejich rodinu. Pro splnění svého záměru podstupuje show more nezdolná Christina nejednu těžkou zkoušku, ale to ještě netuší, že náhlý zvrat osudu ohrozí její život – a také život muže, který ji nedobrovolně drží v zajetí a podařilo se mu uchvátit její srdce … show less
