Mariota of Dunach, proud if misguided daughter of the strong, famed Laird Archibald MacNichol, will be thrice cursed if ever she falls prey to love again. Unjustly accused of murdering the man her father disowned her for consorting with, Mariota is soon to be sacrificed to the river-dwelling monster Each Uisage. Mariota is rescued from her watery death by her friend, Nessa, and they find refuge in the ruins of the abandoned Cuidrach Castle. They know it's only a matter of time before they're found and Mariota meets her fate.

"Pigs will sing from the trees the day I take a wife," speaks Kenneth MacKenzie, the new Keeper of Cuidrach. Kenneth has spent many rough years at sea chasing the dreams of wealthier men, risking his life for their greed. With memories of home and the longing to return, his dream is unfolding. Kenneth craves peace and solitude and will glory in its quiet, unmarred by female skirts and chatter. That is, of course, until he arrives home to find Cuidrach Castle not empty as he was led to believe. His first sight is of a woman, but not just any woman -- she's a naked woman, an angel.

Kenneth's Highland and knightly honor binds him to grant Mariota sanctuary. Along with this sanctuary comes much more. There are dangers lurking inside and outside the cracks in the castle walls. It's destiny that brings Mariota and Kenneth together, and he'll fight to his death to keep her safe. She will sacrifice herself to her captors so he doesn't have to. In each other's arms, they find their hopes and dreams fulfilled and an undying love they never believed possible.

UNTIL THE KNIGHT COMES will win your heart. It's a romantic treasure. If you love Scottish tales, this one is for you.
