Book excerpt: Eimhir Mackenzie has never been a biddable lass.

When she slips away from the castle for a few hours of freedom before agreeing to accept Angus Gordon as her husband, she meets a man who promises her the kind of life she has dreamed of: adventure, excitement, and freedom.

He makes her a promise: that he will be back by Christmastide to claim her as his. But life moves on, and her father has promised her to Angus Gordon. If Liall cannot make it back by Christmastide, Eimhir’s dreams of freedom and love will come to naught...
