A sweeping, sexy Highland romance about a wanted Jacobite with a wounded soul, and a spirited Scottish lass on the run.

After a decade spent in exile, Robert Grant, Jacobite, has returned home to Lochrose Castle in the Highlands to reconcile with his long-estranged father, the Earl of Strathburn. Problem is, there is a price on Robert's head and his avaricious younger half-brother, Simon?pretender to the title Master of Strathburn?will do anything to stop him reclaiming his birthright. But it's not only Simon and the Redcoats who threaten to destroy Robert's plans. Perhaps the worst is yet to come, as a flame-haired complication of the feminine kind enters the scene...

Jessie Munroe is forced to flee Lochrose Castle after the dissolute Simon Grant tries to coerce her into becoming his mistress.

Events soon suggest that this man is dangerous, but in an entirely different way to Simon...

Despite their searing attraction, Robert and Jessie struggle to trust each other as they both seek a place to call home. The stakes are high and only one thing is certain: Simon Grant is in pursuit of them both...
