After a childhood shaped by war, all Kenzie McPhee wants is to forget. But it seems that even fleeing her homeland and building a new life isn’t enough, as she finds herself drawn back into a tragic past she thought she’d left behind.
Blaine McCaskill is a proud Highland warrior, and not used to playing the delivery lad. Not when the woman he’s delivering is Miss McPhee, the secret and unrequited love of his youth. And most certainly not when he’s escorting her back to an arranged marriage with his own brother. But the road home is long, and Blaine and Kenzie find their dedication to duty tested by a forbidden love. And when they unknowingly find themselves at the heart of a plot to plunge the Highlands into civil war, will succumbing to their passion risk more than they could possibly imagine?
