Dougal Craig might have been amused regarding his reputation as a highwayman/ruffian/bandit, when actually, he's nothing of the sort.

He just likes his privacy and it doesn't take much for rumors to start. He doesn't bother to deny them. More the better so people leave him alone. He's anti-social but not unfriendly, so he typically shrugs off the opinions of others. He lives quietly out on the moors, taking care of any trouble that comes his way with his guns or his swords.

Tyra Fletcher's running from a secret. But she didn't plan on running into a musket wielded by Dougal Craig. Now she's injured and at his mercy.

Dougal's got secrets of his own. His are far more deadly. Who's protecting who now as this English refugee runs into the wrong end of Dougal's weapon?
