About this ebook

This medieval historical romance from a #1 New York Times bestseller is a “rip-roaring romp, full of humor, romance, sword fights, and crisp dialogue” (The Cedar Rapids Gazette).

In the dark days after the death of Richard the Lionheart, lives and lands fell into upheaval at the hands of the power-hungry King John and his violent minions. One victim was innocent Gillian, who was just a child when the cruel and ambitious Baron Alford, determined to recover for the despotic king a jeweled box that slipped through his fingers, slaughtered her father and tore her family apart.

A decade later, Gillian once again crosses paths with the nefarious baron, but instead of losing everything like she had as a child, she finds the key to resolving her past. But first the English beauty must enlist handsome Scottish chieftain Brodick Buchanan to help her in her quest. But accepting the rugged Scotman’s protection is complicated by the passion simmering between them.

Ratings and reviews

I just had to write a review of this book as it is one of my favourite Julie Garwood novels. The story is amazing and her writing captivates me and takes me to a different world. I fell in love with the characters very easily and could not put the book down. Fantastic book!

My favorite all time read! I read this book every year or two and it never grows old. I love the characters and fall in love with them over and over again. Gillian's innocent bravery and Brodick`s gruff exterior and gooey center make the perfect match. I love how Julie Garwood allows the story to develop slowly because once you start Ransom you won't want it to end.

This is one of my all time favorite books, I find myself comparing other books to this one. Love the characters, especially Brodick and Gillian there is no couple like them! Thank you Julie Garwood
