From the back cover of Seduction of a Scottish Prince:
Rebellion is afoot in a distant corner of the Scottish kingdom. Prince Alexander is dispatched by his father to regain order, and expects his royal presence will quickly quell the disquiet. Little does he realize that the Clan of Kent is not so easily intimidated. When Prince Alexander is kidnapped by Clark, the dashing son of the Kent's leader, the king refuses his ransom. Will Prince Alexander pay the ultimate price for his father's betrayal? And will the irresistible pull between the prince and the young rebel change both their lives forever?
An excerpt:
The spark in Clark's green eyes was faintly mocking. "So it seems your father doesn't care to have you back."
Alexander pressed his lips into a thin, grim line. He knew, of course, what happened to captives who weren't ransomed, and he had to wonder if this had been his father's plan all along, an easy way to be rid of him and make Lucas heir in his stead.
Clark took a step closer. "Since it seems you're going to be with us for a while, you should know that every man pulls his weight in our clan." He took one of Alexander's hands in his, turned it over between his palms. "Soft. I bet you've never done an honest day's work in your life."
Alexander pulled himself up to his full height, ready with an indignant response.
But Clark cut him off before he could begin, "That's all right." His eyes traveled lazily over Alexander's body, making Alexander feel strangely too warm. "I suspect there are other ways you can earn your keep..."
