She needs his protection to escort her to the Highlands. But where she wants him to take her is to his enemy's territory. It's a dangerous game she plays. How much are they both willing to risk for love?

The Sassenach

Lady Rhoswen Asquith accompanies her father and siblings on a journey to the Highlands, setting out on a very important and dangerous mission. The plan is to save her baby nephew from her late sister's murderous husband Ranulph Drummond.

Unfortunately, her English escorts have just been attacked and killed by bandits, and her father is left for dead. With the only item they had to barter for her nephew's return now stolen, she and her siblings are left without escorts and stranded on the wrong side of the border.

The Highlander

Logan MacKeefe travels with his pet wolf at his side and his sword in his hand. But today, he's been thrown out of the Horn and Hoof Tavern in Glasgow because his wolf has stolen a chicken right out of old Callum MacKeefe's soup pot. 

Wanting a few minutes of peace and quiet, he bathes in the bay and suns himself on a rock to dry. It isn't long before he is disturbed by a bonnie lassie atop a horse who comes crashing through the thicket, heading right toward the water.

She's a Sassenach, who begs him to help her dying father. Never able to turn away a lassie in distress, Logan agrees, becoming the protector of Rhoswen and her younger siblings. But when her father dies, Logan finds himself in the middle of a harrowing situation, since where she wants him to take her is to his enemy's den.

Will honor and love win over revenge and guilt, as two people who should never be together find comfort and solace in each other's arms?
