This historical romance was so good it kept me up reading throughout the night. Cecily grew up in the Queen court along with Joan who married Scotland's King James I. Laird Ian falls instantly in love with Cecily and kidnaps her just before she was to receive another proposal. A plot development I didn't like about 3/4ths of the way though kept this from being on my favorite’s shelf. I've read all Bertrice Smalls books because I like her style of writing with constant action and very steamy. Like many of her stories this was rich in historical detail.
