Laird Niall Carrick has no interest in marriage, though the elders of the clan push the young laird to take a wife and guarantee an heir for his bloodline. He has more important matters on his mind. Such as determining who the assassin that keeps making attempts on his life is.

After a particularly vicious and unexpected attack on Laird Niall Carrick and his men, Niall is left alone, wounded, and close to death. Seeking the village where he can secure healing, he takes the wrong direction and ends up at a tombstone, bleeding and injured.

Considered a witch, Moira's ostracized by the surrounding villages, except for the rare occasion when her excellent healing skills are required. Moira avoids mankind and judgment as her secrets could yield more problems than solutions. She regularly pays a visit to her mother's gravesite, but one fateful day, she finds an injured man leaning against her mother's headstone.

How can this healer with a shameful secret of her existence and a laird who wants nothing to do with commitment find everlasting happiness? Will her secret rend them asunder? Will the assassin succeed in taking Niall from her life?
