As Brenna MacAlpin looked at the fierce, dark warrior, who had spent a lifetime defending his English queen, her blood ran cold. For she was the leader of a Scottish border clan and would give her life for her people against invaders like Lord Morgan Grey. He thought to subdue her with an impressive show of force, but she would soon show him what one woman driven by loyalty could do. Morgan knew he had been a fool to agree to implement the queen’s scheme to unite the families on both sides of the border by marriage. His unwilling Scottish guest was proving to he more trouble than she was worth, and he was afraid that his once peaceful life would never be the same.
