Outlawed and on the run, Irish warrior Tadhg has a single mission: escape with the legendary dagger of King Richard before a brutal nobleman hunts him down. Trapped and almost cornered, his plan is simple: plant his contraband on the innocent woman with the long hair and complicated eyes. Then abduct her and use her as camouflage to escape. Igniting a raging passion is not part of the plan. Neither is falling in love.

Magdalena knows she should be terrified, but all she feels is excitement as this mysterious stranger drags her deeper into his perilous mission–and grand adventure.

Swept into a thrilling chase across France and England, their passion burns hot, forging a connection that melts the icy wall around Tadhg’s war-torn heart. In the end, when his enemies close in, he’s going to have to choose which matters more: his mission or the brave, passionate woman who’s stolen his heart.
