1684, Scottish Highlands
Englishwoman Evelyn Worthington is resolved to build a school for ladies
in her brother's newly purchased Scottish castle. But when she arrives,
not only does she find the castle scorched by fire, but a brawny
Highlander bars her entry.
Clan chief Grey Campbell would rather die than see his family home,
Finlarig Castle, fall into English hands, so Grey must win the battle of
wills with the beautiful Sassenach who flashes a bill of sale before
him.
When the war between Evelyn and Grey escalates, passions flare. But
outsiders have their own plans for Finlarig. After secrets are revealed,
and muskets are lit, the fates of the Campbell Clan, the school, and a
possible future for Grey and Evelyn are in as much jeopardy as their
lives.
