Saved from death's doorstep by a mysterious Highlander, Moire awakens on the Isle of Skye with a shattered past and a guarded heart. Laird Fergus Brodie, burdened by a recent defeat and a thirst for revenge, finds solace in caring for the fragile lass. As he helps her heal, he begins to hope that mending her wounds might also heal his own.

But when Fergus discovers that Moire is the niece of his sworn enemy, Laird Ronald Campbell, his world is thrown into turmoil. The opportunity to use her as a means to infiltrate his enemy's clan is tantalizing—but the cost may be more than he's willing to pay. As they journey to her home, Fergus grapples with his desire for vengeance and the unexpected feelings blossoming between them.

The Campbell clan is suffering under Ronald's tyrannical rule, and Fergus realizes that defeating him could save not just his own people, but Moire's as well. Caught between duty and desire, Fergus must make an impossible choice: betray the woman he's come to love, or forsake his quest for justice.

In the breathtaking landscape of the Scottish Highlands, passions flare and loyalties are tested. Will love triumph over revenge, or will the shadows of the past destroy their chance at happiness?
