What to expect

Ada Moncriefe cannot stand by while her betrothed cruelly executes prisoners. She makes a daring plan to free the Scots warriors in the dungeon, only asking that the brave leader take her with him when they escape. Things go horribly wrong, and Ada pays a dear price for her sacrifice. Broken and scarred afterward, she lives a ghost-like existence, having no idea what her future holds.



Jamie MacKenna is haunted by the fact that he was prevented from returning to save his men-at-arms and the lass who'd freed them. With greater fervor, he thrusts himself into the war for Scottish freedom alongside the valiant warrior, William Wallace. More than a year later, he stumbles upon Ada Moncriefe in the Scottish Highlands. His guilt induces him to offer her marriage, and despite the tormenting passion that rages between them, he vows never to love her.



Soon though, Ada begins to yearn for something more with her hardened warrior husband.



As the sun sets on William Wallace's fight for Scottish independence, Ada and Jamie must both learn to forgive and to open themselves to love.



Contains mature themes.
