HE WAS KNOWN THROUGHOUT THE KINGDOM AS HAWK, LEGENDARY PREDATOR OF THE BATTLEFIELD AND THE BOUDOIR. NO WOMAN COULD REFUSE HIS TOUCH, NUT NO WOMAN EVER STIRRED HIS HEART UNTIL A VENGEFUL FAIRY TUMBLED ADRIENNE DE SIMONE OUT OF MODERN DAY SEATTLE AND INTO MEDIEVAL SCOTLAND. CAPTIVE IN A CENTURY NOT HER OWN, ENTIRELY TOO BOLD, TOO OUTSPOKEN, SHE WAS AN IRRESISTABLE CHALLENGE TO THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY ROGUE. COERCED INTO A MARRIAGE WITH HAWK, ADRIENNE VOWED TO KEEP HIM AT ARMS LENGTH, BUT HIS SWEET SEDUCTION PLAYED HAVOC WITH HER RESOLVE. SHE HAD A PERFECT "NO" ON HER PERFECT LIPS FOR THE NOTORIOUS LAIRD, BUT HAWK SWORE SHE WOULD WHISPER HIS NAME WITH DESIRE, BEGGING FOR THE PASSION HE LONGED TO IGNINTE WITHIN HER. NOT EVEN THE BARRIERS OF TIME AND SPACE WOULD KEEP HIM FROM WINNING HER LOVE. DESPITE HER UNCERTAINTY ABOUT FOLLOWING THE PROMTINGS OF HER OWN PASSIONATE HEART, ADRIENNE'S RESERVATIONS WERE NO MATCH FOR HAWK'S DETERMINATION TO KEEP HER BY HIS SIDE.
