The Master's Bride

The legendary composure of Boston shipbuilder Lock McKin is shaken by the arrival of a stunning jewel from the Pacific Islands--a mysterious mixed-blood beauty called Lili, who claims to be the granddaughter of Lock's lifelong nemesis. Outspoken and audacious, she enflames the master shipwright's passion and fiery Scottish temper... yet possesses a touching vulnerability that breaches the battlements he erected to safeguard his emotions. A marriage of convenience to the enchantress offers Lock an opportunity to avenge the wrongs of his enemy. But Lili is a woman beset by inner torments and plagued by ghosts of a devastating past--giving rise to a shocking scandal that could destroy the handsome "Iron Man" whom she has grown to love with all her heart and soul.
