Robert the Bruce consolidates lands and loyalty in a bold war for Scotlandβs independence, as his elite team of warriors, the Highland Guard, fight for king, country . . . and love. Magnus MacKay is the ultimate Highlander: tough, proud, able to master any terrain and to best his enemies.
Called βthe Saintβ for his refusal to discuss women, as well as for his cool and steady leadership, Magnus hides a painful truth. It isnβt virtue or piety that keeps him silent, but a wound of love and loss that cuts so deep he cannot bear to speak of it. But when the woman who refused him is betrothed to his friend and fellow Guardsman, Magnus is tested by loveβs battle cry. A wild and innocent beauty, Helen chose family duty over her desire for Magnus.
Now the anger in his eyes mirrors the tormented regret in her heart. But as deadly subterfuge stalks the King and his Guard, Helen vows to right her youthful mistakes with a womanβs determined spirit. Still, Magnus harbors secrets and an iron will not to weaken to temptationβor heartacheβagain. But as danger looms, itβs the kiss not of a saint, but of a sinner, that can save them.
