Kaithria Zahrah Keith has spent her life running from a past she cannot escape. Known only as Kaithria, she is a mysterious beauty with black hair and exotic golden eyes—features unlike any the Highlands have ever seen.

Traveling with Lady Catriona MacKay to Kinbrace—the stronghold of the formidable warrior Keir Maxwell Gunn—Kaithria's world shifts dramatically. Keir is the most captivating man she's ever encountered, strong and confident beyond any in Scotland, igniting feelings she thought long buried.

But danger lurks in Kinbrace. The Gunns and the Keiths are bitter enemies, and Kaithria's arrival stirs suspicion and animosity. As hostility mounts and threats surround her, Keir stands by her side, defying clan rivalries and seeing beyond her secretive past.
