Sir Arryn Graham rides into the Highlands with vengeance burning in his heart. Kinsey Darrow has spilled rebel blood, and Arryn plans his revenge by claiming what matters most to his enemy: Darrow's intended bride, Kyra. The plan seems simple until Arryn looks into Kyra's emerald eyes and runs his fingers through her dark hair. She proves far more than the pawn he expected. Kyra finds herself drawn to this fierce Highland knight despite the danger he represents. When she surrenders to his passion, she becomes an enemy of the king. Now soldiers hunt her as a traitor, and the gallows await if they catch her. Arryn must choose between his thirst for revenge and saving the woman who has captured his heart. Only his courage can rescue Kyra from death, and only her love can heal the wounds that drive his need for vengeance.
