A novella occur the globe of New York Times bestselling writer Monica McCarty’s Highland Guard series

The entire year is 1311, as well as the battle for Scotland’s independence rages on . Stripped of his lands with the English king who wiped out his father, James Douglas will do whatever needs doing to see his clan’s honor and lot of money restored. The ambitious youthful knight, whose dark visage, effective stature, and ferocity in fight has earned him the epithet ‘the Dark,’ understands he must use fear, pressure, and about The Knight intimidation to defeat the British, place Robert the Bruce on Scotland’s throne, and restore the honor of the Douglas name. Nothing at all no one will get in his method. Not even the lass who captured his heart in childhood but still holds it in her delicate hands.

Joanna Dicson has loved Wayne Douglas for as long as she can remember. That she actually is ‘only’ the daughter from the marshal of Douglas Castle hasn’t concerned her. Yet even while James’s ruthless status grows, and regardless of the warnings of others to protect her heart-and her virtue-against him, Joanna by no means dreams he’ll turn on her. He loves her and would never hurt her. However when James profits to Douglas to push the British garrison from his castle, Joanna learns that their love is nothing at all against his ambition. His marriage-like everything else-will be a method of bettering his clan. Heartbroken and humiliated, Joanna is usually left alone using a secret that may eliminate them both.
