This story takes place at the times of war between England and Scotland.  There is talk of war but we are not taken to actual battles, this is really a love story.  The hero, not a Douglas kin, is promised by the Earl of Kildrummond, who on his deathbed, to make him his heir if he will wed his natural daughter.  All lands owned by a Douglas are being taken over by the King.  Our heroine lives in a hut outside the castle and agrees to marry the hero only if it is in name only.  There are several other pairings in this tale that I enjoyed.  Love,  chuckles, some sadness are all bound in this well written book.  It is a book that stands on its own only there is a second book that continues with the tale.
