Surrounded by whispers and mistrust, she is his only hope.

Caitria MacBain never expected anything from life, content with her routine as a servant at MacLennan keep. Yet, even the stoic lass can’t keep her gaze away from the Laird’s charming and wild son. When he approaches her, her life is about to change irrevocably.

Arran MacLennan’s questionable reputation precedes him, but as he is called to take over the Lairdship in his father’s stead, danger and betrayal lurk at every corner. His only ally, the maid who stole his heart; Caitria.

Getting closer to the young Laird, Caitria sees a side of him that no one has, and while she feels herself falling for his undeniable charm, she knows their romance can never be. Arran’s position means he cannot afford to be seen with a servant, let alone fall in love with one.

As Caitria and Arran’s relationship blurs the lines between duty and desire, schemes against the new Clan Chief threaten the MacLennan clan. With their reputations and their lives on the line, can Caitria and Arran fight for what they feel and make it out alive?
