Not badly written, actually, for a bodice-ripper. You have to get used to some of the writing being in Scottish dialect, but you will, and by that point you've been sucked in.

London, eighteenth century - Rose is kidnapped by a Scottish Lord/warrior who is bent on revenge and mistakes her for his enemy's mistress. She is forced to marry him on a boat to Canada. He still swears to kill her to exact his revenge as she tries to convince him that she is not the woman he is looking for. He falls deathly ill on the Atlantic passage and Rose is forced to nurse him back to health. Think 'Far and Away' plus 'Braveheart', with a lot more R rated scenes.
