description: <b>Kirkus Reviews -</b> "<i>Set among princes and pretenders in 15th-century Europe, Caine's (The Bedeviled Heart, 2011, etc.) third volume in the Highland Heather and Hearts Scottish Romance series pairs a dashing spy with a reluctant assassin...provide an intriguing setting, and the international intrigue between families and nations is similarly compelling. A fresh historical setting and a fun, if improbable, premise make for a comforting read featuring a couple worth rooting for from their first dagger-point meeting</i>."
