Took place in Scotland in 1439. 1st read this in 2012.
This was a sexy romance, with adventure. A tight
story. Gave this 3.5 stars.

We met huge in physique, Quinton Cameron. Laird
Cameron/ earl /warrior. He was duped when in love
with a beauty, Mary Ross, who sought a titled man
before Quint rec'd his title. Mary wed a man old
enough to be her Grandsire, instead.

We met Deirdre Chattan, dtr of another Laird, who
banished her to an abbey. Because a man charmed,
seduced, & promised her and then abandoned her.

The MCs had met before. This time their chemistry
set them on fire. He called her hellion & made her
no promises. Eventually he named her his mistress.
She disliked this & wanted respect. She said time and
again she had choices, but did she? A person, as faux
Queen Joan, sent Deirdre a missive, offered her
shelter & an assignment in the Queen's court. Dee
left Quint's castle.

We saw the stubbornness of both MCs. Deirdre was
a beauty in face/ form, and men lusted after her.
Once returned to Quint he confided he had a dead
heart and could offer her no affection. But their
sex-play was mutually enjoyed.

Her choices: return to her sire or the abbey? stay w/
Quint who'd never love her? No good choices for her.
She confided to the H she loved Quinton the man, but
needed to learn patience w/ Quinton the earl.
