A fugitive woman finds refuge in the arms of a Highland warrior in this historical Scottish romance by the New York Times–bestselling author.
Scotland, 1479. When her dagger is found buried in the body of one of the king's men, there is little room for doubt—the perpetrator must pay with her life. But Ilsabeth Murray Armstrong is no killer, and only one person can help clear her name: Sir Simon Innes, a man so steely and cool that no danger can rattle him . . . and no woman in distress can sway his heart.
Until now. Simon has spent his life searching for truth in a world fraught with deception. But the hauntingly beautiful fugitive seeking his aid affects him so deeply, he wonders if he can trust the flawless judgment he has always relied on. For all signs point to Ilsabeth's guilt, except one—the unparalleled desire he feels at her slightest touch.
