Kittie always hoped she'd marry for love. But her father had other plans...

It is 1794, and Scotland is in turmoil. Almost fifty years after the battle of Culloden and subsequent decimation of the clans, new landowners are mercilessly clearing their tenants to make way for more lucrative sheep.

Married off to a debaucherous Duke twice her age and thrust into the wilds of Scotland, Kittie enjoys a comfortable though passionless life. Yet she's a valuable pawn in a dangerous game of power and greed.

Abruptly torn from her home by a band of Highlanders determined to preserve their way of life at all costs, Kittie must navigate desolate captivity while struggling against a growing attraction towards her enigmatic captor, Moehill. Passionate, handsome, and tender, he's nothing like the Scotsmen her husband always warned her about. But she's a bargaining chip in a game she hardly understands and falling for him would be a very bad idea...

He'll stop at nothing to protect his clan. She'll stop at nothing to escape.

As passions ignite and her husband's arrogance casts a dark shadow over negotiations, Kittie must weave the treacherous paths of loyalty, betrayal, and forbidden attraction – but at what cost?

A captivating work of historical fiction that will keep you riveted until the very last page.
