The bold, beautiful and determined Isla has finally escaped from the clutches of her abusive father Bhaltair and managed to evade an arranged marriage to Bhaltair’s henchman, the terribly evil and deranged Iagan. Now, having gone from rags to riches, Isla is preparing to marry strong, handsome Caelen, the powerful laird of North Berwick and the love of her life. But will she, the peasant daughter of a notorious and feared criminal, be accepted by Caelen’s family, friends, clan, and followers? Will her vengeful father and the scorned, hate-filled Iagan hunt her down once again? What must she do to break free from the bonds of servitude that plague her? As the wedding approaches, Isla fears grave retaliation from the torrid past she had so desperately hoped to escape.
