Brenda Grant has no wish to marry. Ever since her first, horrible marriage, she’s produced herself into a hellion of a female to keep men from seeking her. But the Campbells, her prior husband’s family, are established to discover her a fresh husband.

Highland Key Bothan Gunn is smitten by the girl who will not be tamed. It takes all Brenda’s willpower to resist the brawny Highlander who will take her to safety. But as they spend some time together-and develop ever closer-Brenda finally discovers the independence she’s been longing for all along.
