Publisher's Synopsis
Lady Isolda will not be forced into a marriage with a Scotsman.
This warrior comes to claim her with a wild tale, a battlefield vow he made to her father when he lay dying in his arms. A vow to marry the earl's eldest daughter. To marry her.
Except Isolda is already betrothed. A fact her father knew well.
Unfortunately, the Scot refuses to leave Bramton. He claims her father willed their marriage just before taking his last breath, after having been stabbed in the back by an Englishman-one of his own countrymen. As all of Bramton mourns the earl's death, Isolda finds herself unable to deter this Scotsman, who remains steadfast to his story. Instead, she is increasingly drawn to him, Conall Kerr filling every room he enters with a commanding presence.
Even if he is not the enemy, the danger Conall poses to Isolda and her family cannot be ignored. For if Father truly was murdered by a king's loyalist, a union between her, the eldest daughter of Bramton, and a Scotsman with ties to William Wallace could incite a new war along the border.
One as fraught with uncertainty as Isolda's desire for a man she'd been told to hate.
