About the book
Born into both affluence and adoration, six- year old Sabrina Cameron, the "princess" of Clan Cameron has never met a soul she couldn't charm--until she comes face to face with Morgan MacDonnell, the son of her father's lifelong enemy.
As adults, they are thrown together to end the bloody feud between their families. Morgan spirits the delicate rose of a girl away to his rugged castle, never suspecting that his own surrender will be the sweetest victory of all.
