Lady Triona McKee watches her dreams crumble around her Scottish castle. Her marriage promised security but left her widowed and struggling to protect her people. Now her arrogant kinsman circles like a vulture, ready to seize her lands. When her cousin sends Sir Brett Murray to help, Triona sees danger in his cynical green eyes. She needs his sword, but trusting him feels like inviting another betrayal. Brett Murray learned long ago that protecting others costs less than caring for them. Betrayal carved that lesson deep into his honor. Yet this determined widow stirs feelings he thought buried forever. He came to save her lands, but finds himself wanting to earn her heart. Brett knows a battle-scarred knight has no place in her world. To stay beside Triona, he must risk everything on love.
