  Iseabail MacNaughton, the orphaned daughter of a Scottish laird, is forced to
  flee her home and seek assistance against her lecherous uncle, who has usurped
  her family’s land. When she meets Seumas, a strong and valiant mercenary, she
  cannot help wondering if he could be the one to stand with her against her
  uncle. But with a price on her head and enemies on all sides, her trust is not
  something she can afford to give lightly…
  
  Seumas MacDonell is a man wounded in body and soul, driven by guilt. When he
  rescues Iseabail from one of his men, he cannot deny the attraction he feels
  for her, despite the wound that left him unable to act on it. In the hope of
  finding redemption for his sins, he agrees to help Iseabail…but will his
  feelings for her prove to be the ultimate obstacle to his salvation?
