The one man who vowed to lay down his sword must now fight for his family's very existence.

Laird Gilbert MacGill forged his clan's legacy through relentless warfare. But weary of bloodshed, he yearns for peace and a true family. Taking his three half-sisters under his wing, he seeks a wife to complete his dreams—Christine MacLeay.

Christine dreamed of a sweet, caring husband, but Gilbert's fierce reputation chills her heart. Bonding more with his sisters than with him, she wonders if she'll ever reach the laird's guarded soul. Yet, as Gilbert strives to be gentle for the first time, a tender spark begins to ignite between them.

Just as harmony seems within reach, a lost brother emerges from the shadows, claiming his place in the family. Gilbert's joy is profound—his life feels complete at last. But peace proves fleeting when an envious old ally resurfaces, determined to drag him back into their violent past.

Threatened by those who refuse to let him change, Gilbert faces an impossible choice: return to his old ways or risk losing the family he's come to cherish.

Will he sacrifice his chance at love and happiness to protect them, or will the ghosts of his past destroy everything he holds dear?
