An English knight and a Scottish lass with a secret she would die to protect.Simon de Bretteby is one of The Saint's closest friends and most loyal soldiers. His entire life has revolved around service to Lord de Wolfe's nephew-except for one summer when he was ordered across the Scottish border to put a stop to a rogue chieftain who'd stolen cattle from an English lord. Injured and separated from his men, de Bretteby had little chance of survival, but a kind-hearted Scottish lass boldly healed his body, though he left his heart in her keeping.Iseabal Maxwell, daughter of Chief Maxwell's bastard son, has little love for English soldiers-and even less love for clan politics. With her sister ordered to wed as a pawn for peace along the border, Iseabal expects the same bleak future. As relations between the two nations grows ever more strained, defying her father's orders by saving the life of an English knight risked much. But letting him go was one of the hardest thing she has ever done.Now her life lies in ruins-her father dead after the English besieged their home, her fate decided by a man she fears.What will happen when she appears on Simon's doorstep, carrying secrets she would die to protect?
