“Ye may be promised to another, but I vow to steal ye back.”

Every dream of freedom is shattered when Sorcha is forced into marriage with the ruthless Laird Alistair McCowen. Trapped in a life she never chose, every hope of escape vanishes—until the moment he returns.

Athol Carson, the fierce and loyal Captain of the Guard, has never bowed to fear. But when the woman he loves is bound to his sworn enemy, he makes a reckless choice—he will take her back, no matter the cost. Abducting the bride of a powerful laird is a death sentence, yet Athol would rather burn the world than let Sorcha slip through his fingers.

Their love is forbidden, their desire unstoppable, but when war looms and blood must be shed, they face the ultimate choice: surrender to fate or risk everything to be together.
