Alec Munro, chieftain of the
Munros, has captured the Englishman who swindled his father.
Set on retribution, he’s caught off-guard by the thief’s
beautiful daughter, a lass whose beauty and spirit leave him
questioning the value of revenge.
Rachel Brindle has a secret: she can heal people with her
magic. While journeying with her father and sister into the
Highlands, she becomes a prize sought between two warring
clans. She must use her cunning and her healing magic to
prevent the same slaughter that started the blood feud a
century ago. But when her secret is exposed, will it condemn
her in the eyes of the barbarian who has capture not only
her family, but also her heart?
Fleeing with only her bow, horse,
enormous pet wolf, and the cryptic clues hidden in her
mother’s medicine journal, healer Meg Boswell gallops north
towards freedom, running from the man who falsely accused
her mother of witchcraft. Cursed with magical healing
abilities, Meg knows that if she’s captured, she will die
like her mother—atop a blazing witch’s pyre.
Winter winds rip across the Highlands, pressing Chief Caden
Macbain forward in his desperate plan to save his clan. He’s
not above using an innocent woman to bargain for peace if it
keeps his clan from starving. But Meg isn’t who Caden thinks
she is, and when she kills a man to save the clan, he must
choose between duty and her life. For although he captured
her to force a peace, Meg's strength and courage have
captured Caden's heart.
