He thought he was leading her to safety—but he was taking her to her doom.

Fiona Douglas, a bold and daring lass, is not the typical eldest daughter of a Laird. After her father's death, she eagerly awaits a new life and expects a noble escort to her future husband. Instead, she meets Daividh Campbell—a fierce warrior with long hair who seems anything but noble.

Tasked with what he deems a trivial errand, Daividh is displeased to escort Fiona. Yet, as they journey through the rugged Highlands, undeniable sparks ignite between the audacious young woman and the hardened warrior. Tension builds with every step, and both struggle with the emotions they swore to resist.

Upon arrival, Fiona realizes her future is not what she imagined. Daividh is devastated to discover he's led her into danger, not safety. Torn between duty and desire, he must decide whether to break every rule to save her—but his strength and sword may not be enough this time.
