It's hardly the type of wedding Fiona MacLean dreamed of. No family, no guests, just a groom who's been dragged -- literally -- to the altar. But if marriage to Black Jack Kincaid, the handsome wastrel she'd sworn never to see again, will avert a bloody war between their clans, so be it. Surely she can share his bed without losing her heart....

Known throughout Scotland and London as a wild rogue, Jack is accustomed to waking in dire situations, but...married? Long ago, he and Fiona reveled in a youthful passion. Now, the fiery, sensual lass is his once more. And though their marriage is in name only, Jack is determined to win her forever -- body and soul....

This is a concise, easy to read exploration of international parental abduction, its related "parental alienation" and why it continues to expand. This small book puts the issue into a larger perspective of society and relationships, and offers an explanation of why governments encourage this behavior rather than end it. Also, this book contains a great amount of wisdom that extends beyond the lives of contemporary generations who struggle with governmental and family matters. Every reader will find a segment of wisdom to retain. Daniel B McCullar: I read it last night nonstop! It's brilliant and hopefully useful to those who may and are involved with the racket! The author put a lot of heart and passion in it showing the pain all men go through! (November 5, 2011)
