It is May 1568, and Caitlin Campbell has recently had her heart
broken by a callous young nobleman. With a track record of not
choosing men well, she meets Darach MacNaghten, whose clan has been
outlawed. Not only is he everything Caitlin should be wary of, but
he is a man of many secrets, none of which bode well for the
Campbells. He comes to Kilchurn to free his imprisoned older
brother, but when he realizes that his plan has no chance of
success, he kidnaps Caitlin to hold her as hostage until his
brother is freed. This plan, so simple on the surface, soon leads
to a clash of wills between two proud, headstrong people. And the
problems only worsen the closer Darach's plan draws to its
unforeseen conclusion.
