A Scottish warrior and a beautiful French royal face danger and passion in the untamed highlands in this medieval Scottish romance.

Scotland, 1299. The bastard daughter of the French king, Marie Alesia Serouge has just one chance at freedom when she escapes her captor in the Scottish highlands. A mere pawn in a scheme to destroy relations between France and Scotland, Marie must reach her father and reveal the Englishman’s treacherous plot. But she can’t abandon the wounded warrior she stumbles upon—and she can’t deny that his fierce masculinity, Scottish or not, stirs something wild inside her.

Colyne MacKerran is on a mission for his king, and he’s well aware that spies are lying in wait for him everywhere. Wounded en route, he escapes his attackers and is aided by an alluring Frenchwoman . . . whose explanation for her presence in the Highlands rings false. Even if she saved his life, he cannot entirely trust her. But he won’t leave her to the mercy of brigands, either. And as they race for the coast, he can’t help but wonder if her kiss is as passionate as she is.
