All it takes is one careless encounter. She's lonely, he's reckless—it's a fatal combination. Passion and duty collide in Medieval Scotland. 

Maggie Munro is widowed, barren, and a burden on her resentful uncle. Still grieving the man she loved and lost, she expects to never feel passion again. But then she meets a charming warrior at a king's council at Inverness.

Maggie doesn't realize it, but her life is about to get complicated.

Morgan Mackay—the younger brother of a Mackay chieftain—isn't looking for a wife. The Scottish parliament is a tense gathering, yet amongst the turmoil he finds himself irresistibly drawn to the lovely Maggie.

As the Scottish king deals out punishment to the warring northern clans, Maggie and Morgan throw caution to the wind for one passionate encounter ... but it has repercussions neither expect.

Steamy, emotional, and steeped in Scottish history, Jayne Castel's new series, set around the lives and loves of three Mackay siblings, will steal your heart.
