Arranged to marry the wrong man, she falls for the forbidden laird who’ll burn clans to save her.
To stop a deadly feud, Laird Tristan Mackay must offer a groom to the enemy. He chooses his crude stepbrother, Alan, never expecting to be captivated by the woman who arrives at Castle Varrich…a Sinclair lass with fire in her eyes and a dirk hidden at her skirts. One look at Mairghread Sinclair and Tristan knows she was never meant for a man like Alan But honor demands he keep his word.
Raised among warriors and loyal to her clan, Mairghread agrees to an arranged marriage for the sake of peace. Yet the man who steals her breath isn’t her intended, but the towering, dark-haired laird whose quiet strength makes her feel seen and safe. When Alan’s drunken temper turns violent, Mairghread defends herself with cold steel, and Tristan’s furious intervention shatters the betrothal and ignites a forbidden desire neither can deny.
With the wedding called off, Tristan and Mairghread finally glimpse a future together, but a jilted suitor, a spiteful stepmother, and a scorned former lover refuse to let them claim it. Abduction attempts, betrayal within the Mackay household, and a ruthless plot to sell Mairghread to a Norse slaver force Tristan to risk his life, his lairdship, and the fragile peace between clans. To save the woman he loves, he’ll have to defy blood ties, outwit his enemies, and make Mairghread his wife before fate steals her away forever.
