'Tis no weakness to love a strong man

Elisant Ramsay absolutely positively does not need a man in her life. Strong-willed, independent, and an accomplished archer, she's perfectly capable of taking care of herself. Why invite someone into her life who will boss her around and make her decisions for her? No thank you. And when her grandfather Logan starts pushing her to marry Alaric Grant, of all people, she just digs her heels in harder. The man is insufferable!

Alaric cannot resist Eli in any way. Looking at her, teasing her, fighting with her and beside her—all of it thrills him. Maybe she curses too much. And maybe she's a tiny bit stubborn. And maybe she drives him mad on a regular basis. But none of that can diminish his respect for her. If he were not cursed to bring harm to those around him, he would never let her go.

When chaos descends on their clans—freak injuries, a desperate battle for the Scottish Borderlands, and deepest heartbreak—Eli and Alaric must each accept the other's support to find their way through to a bright, new beginning.
