Arianna Murray Lucette once trusted a man who betrayed her completely. Now she runs for her life across dangerous territory. Her enemies strike the ship carrying her to safety, and she thinks death has found her at last. She awakens on a Scottish beach, staring into the most beautiful blue eyes she has ever seen. Sir Brian MacFingal discovers what he assumes is a corpse washed up on the shore. The woman proves very much alive, more vibrant and spirited than any he has known. Brian knows he can protect her body from those who hunt her, even if it costs him his life. But he wonders if a rough Highland warrior like himself could ever deserve the love of such a woman. Arianna must decide whether to trust another man after her last faith was shattered, while Brian battles his own doubts about his worthiness for her affections.
