Princess Gabrielle of St. Biel travels to Scotland with her guard to marry a highlander. King John has arranged Gabrielle's marriage in hopes it will facilitate peace in the Highlands. As Gabrielle and her party cut through the woods, they stumble upon a badly beaten man who is about to be buried alive. Gabrielle stops the whole process with her bow, saving the man's life.

This is the third book in Julie Garwood's Highland Lairds series. As with the previous books in the series, the hero is the Laird of his clan. Colm MacHugh is a giant of a man who first sees Gabrielle when she is being accused of being a harlot. He doesn't know what to make of her but knows that she is innocent of the claims. Gabrielle is sweet. Everyone loves her. She has a stubborn streak and a mind of her own. She knows that two of King John's Barons are behind the lies but doesn't know how to prove it.

Overall, this was a quick read that doesn't take itself too seriously. The villains are laughable. The story of the lost treasure is easy to figure out. My rating: 3.5 Stars.
