A fair-haired beauty at 19, Lady Mairi is heiress apparent
to her father Lord Dunwythie's rich barony. He has carefully
taught her how to manage their estates, but a feud between
his clan and the Maxwell clan is brewing as the two families
edge toward a clan war - their dispute over money owed.
Mairi's father believes he owes nothing, and of course Mairi
sides with him.
When the impulsive and blue-eyed Rob
Maxwell chances to meet Mairi in a barley field, they feel
instant attraction, despite their families' antagonisms.
Knowing he must put his clan first, Rob enacts a plan to
force Dunwythie to pay his debt: Rob kidnaps Mairi, making
the abduction appear the work of a stranger; then he and his
sheriff-brother offer to help Dunwythis rescue his daughter
IF, and only if, he will pay them the monies due. Yet after
Rob captures Mairi's body, she captures his heart. When
Dunwythie summons the aid of the most powerful clan in all
Scotland (the Douglases), clan-tensions rise to a fever
pitch. Love takes its own feverish course, as Mairi and Rob
join forces to prevent a clash between hot-headed clans, and
to protect their budding love.
