    Callie Rose Buchanan had a face and figure that would tempt any man - but also a fierce independence that no man could challenge. A trip to Europe was arranged to land this fiery cowgirl a husband with enough gumption to tame her. What she got was Ian MacGregor. Abducted to settle an old feud between the two clans, Callie was imprisoned in his Highland castle - and fought like a wildcat to escape the handsome chieftain who threatened her freedom with the weakness of desire. But there was nothing like a challenge to make the blood flow faster in the devilishly handsome Scotsman's veins. He was determined to possess her, first with angry lust, then with a searing yet tender passion that branded her soul and bound them to a heated and turbulent future - as vast and storm-tossed as the seas spanning the Highlands and the blazing skies of Texas.
