A Sworn Enemy Becomes Her Only Hope...

After years of isolation and brutal beatings by ruthless bandits, Emily's world is turned upside down when she's rescued by the very Highlanders she feared most. Terrified and alone in a foreign land, her only solace is Sarina, the English wife of the Laird, who helps her heal from her haunting past.

But when a captured bandit reveals a shocking truth—her mother is alive—Emily is determined to find her, no matter the danger. She pleads with the Mackenzie clan for help, and Angus, the Laird's kind-hearted brother, volunteers to be her protector on this perilous journey.

As they traverse the breathtaking Scottish Highlands, Emily's anger towards the Scots begins to fade, replaced by an unexpected devotion to her Highland guardian. But when a new enemy emerges, testing her trust and threatening everything she holds dear, Emily faces a heart-wrenching choice that could change her life forever.

Will she find her mother and embrace the unexpected alliances forged along the way? Or will betrayal shatter her newfound trust in the Highlands—and in love itself?
