Scotland, 1344: Men are neither honorable nor kind. Aishlinn is convinced of this—until her heart encounters someone who changes her forever. Betrayed by the lies from before her birth, Aishlinn falls into the hands of a cruel stepfather, and worse: after a traumatic night, she flees from England to the Scottish Highlands. Clan warriors rescue her. They are honorable, and Aishlinn changes her mind. She discovers new, unexpected strength, which is tested when she must choose between the death of her loved ones and her own surrender to the English. She embodies everything he has ever wished for in a woman. The Highland warrior Duncan has survived battles, natural disasters, and even the attack of a predator, but none of that was stronger than what happened to him when he met a girl.
