Both are nursing wounds; both have good reason to stay out of Scotland; and both are still virgins, despite several opportunities to remedy that deplorable situation with ladies of easy virtue. But Jamie’s love life becomes infinitely more complicated—and dangerous—when fate brings the young men into the service of Dr. Hasdi, a Jewish gentleman who hires them to escort two priceless treasures to Paris. One is an old Torah; the other is the doctor’s beautiful granddaughter, Rebekah, destined for an arranged marriage. Both Jamie and Ian are instantly drawn to the bride-to-be—but they might be more cautious if they had any idea who they’re truly dealing with.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePraise for Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “Marvelous and fantastic adventures, romance, sex . . . perfect escape reading.”\u003cb\u003e—\u003ci\u003eSan Francisco Chronicle\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e,\u003c\/i\u003e on \u003ci\u003eOutlander\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “History comes deliciously alive on the page.”\u003cb\u003e—New York \u003ci\u003eDaily News\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e, \u003c\/i\u003eon\u003ci\u003e Outlander\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e “Gabaldon is a born storyteller. . . .
