**Amor vincit omnia…** Love conquers all, they said. But not for Lady Magnolia Winterbourne, who had only one goal in her life: serve the Crown as a dutiful agent, and make her father proud. When she is presented with the task of spying on a powerful Scottish clan, she is determined to succeed. Until she meets her undoing in the eyes of the handsome Laird. Nathair Irvine, Laird of MacFoihl, has been splitting himself between protecting his clan, and being a good father. When an alluring Englishwoman offers her services as a nanny, he can’t do anything else but agree. And fall in love with her. With Magnolia slowly winning his heart, Nathair has to let go of the past. Slowly realizing that she has nothing to spy for, Magnolia is torn between her duty and her heart. Until the decision is made for them: a letter, declaring war, written in her own hand.
