Publisher's Synopsis
Laird Niall Carrick has no interest in marriage, though the elders of the clan push the young laird to take a wife and guarantee an heir for his bloodline. He has more important matters on his mind. Such as determining who the assassin that keeps making attempts on his life is.
After a particularly vicious and unexpected attack on Laird Niall Carrick and his men, Niall is left alone, wounded, and close to death. Seeking the village where he can secure healing, he takes the wrong direction and ends up at a tombstone, bleeding and injured.
