As the tyrannical English King Edward turns her beloved country into a place of terror and oppression, Anne Faurer is forced from her ancestral home and into servitude on her own lands. She knows little of the new laird of Langlannoch—only that he is English, and therefore her hated enemy. Nothing could force her to set foot in the home that was once hers...except the pitiful cries of a newborn babe. The laird's son, abandoned by his mother, needs the love and care she couldn't give to her own poor stillborn child. Bayard Berkeley knows nothing of Anne's true identity—only that he desires this ebony-haired beauty. He sees passion in her eyes, but also turmoil...and fear. He knows nothing of the dangers she will brave to free her brother from a London prison, or her reckless commitment to reclaiming her homeland. But as Scotland rises from the ashes of defeat and dark treachery awaits them both, a love—magnificent and enduring—will bring a legacy of pride, passion, and destiny full circle at last.
