When Cameron MacAlpin learns of the identity of the golden beauty tossed before him as a debt payment, he can't believe his fortune! For cat eyed Avery Murray is the perfect weapon to use against her brother Payton - who dishonored Cameron's own sister. Yet his plan to deliver the same insult and avenge his clan is threatened by spirited Avery herself, who tempts him to forget everything but the passion coursing through his blood.

Avery is outraged at her captor's accusations against her brother. Though he makes no secret he intends to use her to avenge his sister's lost honor, he adds to her fury by vowing to take her by seduction, not force. Worse, she knows deep inside that this virile knight stirs her as no other man ever has. Courageously, passionately, she gives him freely what he vows to take - her body and her heart, knowing that she can lose all on the chance of everlasting love . . .
