A beautiful castaway finds safety in the arms of a Scottish Highlander in this historical romance by the New York Times bestselling author.

Scotland, 1480. Once, Arianna Murray Lucette believed shed met the man she could always rely on. But when her husband brought her home to France, she discovered how wrong she was. Now she is fleeing for her life, and when dangerous enemies attack a ship bound for her only refuge, she believes all hope is lost. Then she awakens on Scotlands shore to a pair of the most entrancing blue eyes she has ever seen.

When Sir Brian MacFingal first spots the sun-streaked beauty on the beach, he mistakes her for dead. Soon, however, he discovers a woman full of life and vitality. But though he knows he is fit to defend her life—even at risk of losing his own—he must ask himself whether a raw warrior such as he could ever be worthy of her love.
