Weeping from the wild splendor of the moors to the battlefields of a land divided, Marsha Canham weaves an unforgettable novel of Jacobite Scotland—of a man bound by honor—and of the woman fated to both desire and defy him.
Powerful, brave, irresistibly seductive, Angus Moy, chief of Clan Chattan, was everything Lady Anne could desire in a husband and a lover. But that was before the winds of war tore through her homeland.
While Angus was pledged to fight for the English, Anne embarked on a course no ordinary woman would dare. Fiercely loyal to the Jacobite cause, she led her clan in battle—with the dangerously attractive Captain John MacGillivray at her side.
Angus knew only too well the price of waging war. But something else made him play the traitor—a secret he was bound to keep from Anne at all costs. How could he know Anne would risk her life—or that his own actions would drive her into the arms of another man?
As the tides of battle turned, and Anne was captured by the enemy, Angus had but one last chance to rescue her—and redeem himself in the eyes of the woman he had vowed to honor and protect forever . . .
