Rose: A Scottish Outlaw (Highland Outlaws #5)

Rose MacVie sees her life stretching out before her, empty and unchanging; that is, until she decides to make her own destiny. Setting sail alone, she leaves behind her island home and is caught in a sudden tempest.

Tristan Thatcher is a wealthy merchant, sea captain, and contented bachelor, but all that he has worked for is threatened when his father betroths him to the daughter of a ruthless baron. If he refuses the marriage, he and his family stand to lose everything, but marrying a woman he despises is unthinkable. Just when it seems all hope is lost, his Quarter Master proposes a plan, to which Tristan reluctantly agrees. All he needs is a woman willing to take a few risks for a good cause, but where is he going to find such a woman in the middle of the sea?
