Ruan MacLeod had returned to Skye, leaving behind his womanizing past, only wanting peace. Having saved his young niece, he had not expected to start a clan war with the MacDonalds. His own clan is split between him and his oldest brother Tormod, whose nature is dark and perverted. He has agreed to marry one of most infamous women around, willing to do anything to secure the release of his ten year old niece Merry. Ruan knows who he is taking to wife. She is most unappealing, and expecting a child by her lover. The situation unexpectedly changes; on the day of his wedding, he finds himself marrying a lovely green-eyed lass.Bree has been physically abused by her uncle. In her young life, all she has seen are men who are almost like her uncle. When her mother betrays her also, she flees to her father in Skye. Almost immediately, she finds herself wed to Ruan.Ruan has promised himself he will never allow himself to love again. Bree turns his well-ordered life into chaos. The people in his village are the first to accept and love her, and those in the keep are no different. He finds himself watching how she goes about her day, and it isn't long before his friends note how quickly his eyes follow her; they see that Bree's do the same to Ruan.No matter the vow to himself, he finds himself in love with his wife.She finds herself caught between Ruan and his brothers. They want him dead, and unable to rule the clan, although he has never aspired to. The mentally ill wife of the laird Tormot wants Bree gone. Overall, the keep seems haunted to her. But nothing can separate her from the gentle, thoughtful warrior she has married, and grown to love.Be a part of their journey to stand against those who would see them apart. Very highly recommended!
