Cormac Maclean would rather go through than rampage, but his fearsome warlord dad needs that he prove himself in war. Cormac chooses what he thinks can be an easy target, and then encounter a fiery Highland lass leading a doomed rebellion and swearing revenge on him. Jyne Cambell is not about to give up her castle without a fight, even though her forces are far outnumbered. She’s very pleased, hot-blooded, and hot-tempered. Cormac falls for her hard, but it’s going to take all of his ingenuity to get her to surrender gracefully both to his sword also to his heart.
