She was like a force of gravity, pulling him down to his damnation...
Handling a farm with no male relatives, Cicilia O'Donnel realizes, would only make her easy prey. She vows to take this secret to her grave. Or at least until the day a Highlander shows up unexpectedly, looking for answers: the Laird himself.
Proper in every way, Alexander MacKinnon, Laird of Gallagher, takes pride in the way he runs his lairdship. Apart from one small thorn in his side: the O’Donnel farm. When he meets the headstrong daughter of the farmer, everything about her seems wrong. Especially the way she seems to dominate his senses.
A fire that destroys the farm forces Cicilia and Alexander to confront the one running through their veins for each other. Winds of war blow through Gallagher Castle, a storm started by the same man who took Cicilia's father from her. And only she seems to hold the key to stopping a bloodstained revolution...
