In the glorious Scottish Highlands of Robert the Bruce, an independent young widow faces a difficult challenge: Can she help an unlikely leader bring honor and prosperity back to their clan -- without losing her own cautious heart?
Ailig MacLeod returns to Assynt Castle with a heavy task. As penance for his oldest son's attempted treachery against the king, Ailig's father must step down as chief of the clan -- and Ailig is to take his place. There are elders to appease, a competing clan to ward off, and the castle itself is in shambles. Ailig enlists the beautiful widow Morainn MacRailt to help him pull the keep back together, and her counsel soon becomes as invaluable to him as her presence is intoxicating. Only the two of them, working together, can save the clan from being set to fire and sword. But their partnership reawakens feelings in Morainn that she swore she would never hold again...
