A Laird beyond redemption meets a lass who never gives up.

Merida Stewart is the only daughter and the last hope of Laird Stewart. Their clan has been at war with the Mcdougal clan for years and its powerful Laird, although outnumbered, is a constant danger to her people. Unfortunately, since they can not beat the savage, Merida’s father decides to become his ally!

Tears run down Merida’s eyes as soon as she hears that she will be sacrificed to the heartless Laird for the sake of her clan. She always knew that she would marry a man she did not choose, but no one expected that man to be the infamous Torin Mcdougal.

After meeting him, Merida realizes that Torin is not only ruthless in battle but also moody and abrupt in everyday life. Any other lass in her place would avoid looking him straight in the eyes just like his counselors and soldier do. But the red-headed devil that hears in the name of Merida has never backed down from anything.

Soon, the lass discovers that Torin has had a failed marriage, which might be the source of his bad temper. But the Laird is unwilling to discuss his past or even consider changing his ways... Should Merida risk and try to mend the heart of the Laird, or is she better off keeping her distance from the brute just like everyone else around him?
