Forced to choose between love and vengeance.
1314, and Scotland is facing a mortal struggle for independence against English tyranny. Stirling Castle is under siege by the Scots, and the English are coming to take it back.
Cormac Buchanan is over six foot of muscle and ferocity, a supreme warrior who has spent years fighting for Robert the Bruce, self-proclaimed King of Scotland. Cormac is battling not only the English invaders but also his clanβs sworn enemy, the Gowans. Having long since built a wall of ice around his heart, he is horrified at his kingβs command to bury old enmities and unite with Clan Gowan, through marriage.
Cormac expects his bride to hate him, and he intends to put her aside and forget about her. What he does not expect, is Ravenna Gowan, a bastard, half low-born and fiercely defiant. He just wants her to obey, in bed and out of it, but with looks that would stir any manβs blood, this strange, hard girl wakes a savage need in him. Shame he canβt trust her, nor can he ever look favourably on any Gowan, after what they took from him.
Banished to a convent for the sin of forbidden love, Ravenna Gowanβs life seems over, until an English army heads north and her father has to sacrifice a daughter to the cause of King Robert the Bruce. Ravenna is about to become the glue that binds two clans together by wedding fearsome warrior Cormac Buchanan, but she refuses to be a helpless pawn in menβs power games.
For Ravenna, this forced marriage holds no hope of love, nor is it about loyalty or duty - it is all about vengeance. Can Ravenna survive her rough, angry husband who resents and mistrusts her? Or will her loyalties be tested and her life threatened, as she tries to deny their growing attraction.
