So taking her own fate in her hands she flees him after being capture and practically made a fool of but Helen Grant only runs into trouble by someone must worst than Marcus. Marcus has always wanted a passive woman to marry, someone that won't fight him but there is one woman that fires up his blood in ways that he never imagined. Even if she makes him crazy, he wants her for himself. But both Marcus and Helen are put in a bad position when Marcus comes looking for her and ends up imprisoned but Helen may not like Marcus most of the time, but she knows what needs to be done to save a teenage girl. And even though Marcus and Helen marry out of convenience, Marcus doesn't intend on letting her go and just needs to prove how great they are together...
 
  
    Plot and Story Line 
  
 
I can't tell you how super excited I was for Marcus and Helen's book especially after seeing how well they interacted with each other in the first book I couldn't wait to open this one up and boy these two give us a wild fun ride. It does follow up right after book 1, so I would recommend reading that one first or you might be confused on a few details. The story sets off with our heroine Helen, running away and heading toward Court. However when she arrives, it isn't pleasant. Marcus goes after her pretty quickly and I did like seeing how crazy she makes him even in the beginning. But what happens next is quite interesting. Because its not Marcus that saves the "damsel in distress" here....its the other way around. When Marcus finds himself imprisoned, Helen saves him by marrying him because the head of the court, hates Highlanders and wants to make an example out of Marcus by forcing him to wed and bed a fifteen year old girl which Marcus refuses. I like that Helen takes action even if the last thing she wants is to marry such an alpha male like Marcus. It was interesting to see how they deal with each other with these change of events. They are still snarky with each other for sure, but they slowly stop fighting the chemistry they feel for each other. Now my only complaint was how long the angst was in this book. Normally this author doesn't extend it for such a long period of time, and while I do like angst in my romances I felt like it went a bit longer than I normally prefer. And we get some barells of laughs with Marcus' family especially his father and brother. Yeah they definitely add some fun humor and play to the story.
 
  
    The Cover 
  
 
Oh what a cover....I really like that it matches the colors of the series here and I adore the use of the bright red. And isn't her dress so pretty.
