The war has taken everything from her, but can she trust the one man who could give it all back?

Isla, the blacksmith's headstrong daughter, has only ever known the horrors of a decade-long clan feud. Tired of the bloodshed, she's determined to flee the Dougal lands with her father and find peace at last.

Just as escape seems within reach, Finlay Dougal returns. The fearless son of the late Laird has been away fighting his father's battles, only to come home and find his father dead and his rightful title usurped by a treacherous steward.

Denied permission to leave by the cunning steward, Isla and Finlay realize they share a common enemy. Forced into an uneasy alliance, they set out to restore Finlay to his rightful place as Laird and end the war that has torn their land apart.

But their fiery spirits and clashing wills make collaboration a battle of its own. As unexpected feelings ignite between them, their mission becomes even more complicated. Can they overcome their differences—and their hearts—to bring peace to the Highlands?

The fate of their land hangs in the balance. Will Isla and Finlay unite to reclaim what's theirs, or will their unresolved emotions doom them both?
