Above and Beyond Ashe Barker

Above and beyond the call of duty... Police officer Heather Douglas interrupts an attempted break-in on a remote Scottish island then, in an act of spontaneous compassion, she sets in motion an astonishing chain of events. A tearful reunion places Heather right at the heart of the formidable Clan McLeod when the Canadian exiles return to the Isle of Skye. After a family rift lasting half a century, the McLeods have every reason to be grateful and James McLeod is happy to show their appreciation. But is he motivated purely by a sense of duty? Wealthy and successful, James is a Dom, used to getting what he wants. And he wants Heather. As the sole police officer on the remote Highland isle, Heather has a job to do and a promotion to earn. Assertive in her work, she doesn't welcome distractions. But Heather is shy and unsure in her personal life, and James' skilled touch both terrifies and intrigues her. Will she dare to take what he is offering? Submission does not come easily for a woman trained to take charge. Or maybe it comes just a little too easily... One thing is for sure-James McLeod proves hard to resist. But can James protect Heather when she is at her most vulnerable? Especially when a dark and dangerous secret which has festered for years suddenly resurfaces and threatens to destroy all she has worked for.
