  A shy and innocent beauty... a handsome Highlander... and a brutal clan leader with a daughter promised to the lad in question...
  
  A Knight's New Charge...
  
  Henriette Fraser, fondly known as Ettie, finds herself in a quandary now her parents are running for their lives. She ends up staying with her dour Uncle Heath and must adapt to the new situation. Heath Fraser, a quiet man hiding a tragic secret, knows that he must do his best to see his new ward married and happy.
  
  Son of a Thane, Betrothed...
  
  Handsome Brodgar MacConnoway was promised to marry the daughter of a rival clan to bring peace between the two families. However, once he lays eyes on the beauty visiting his family's castle at Dunkeld, he knows that he'll never be able to keep his end of the bargain. Whether it means begging for release or something more demanding, he'll figure out a way to keep the innocent lass who has captured his heart entirely.
  
  Drastic Measures to Consider...
  
  When Brodgar and his best friend Alf meet with the father of the would-be bride, they quickly discover a new problem on the horizon. They learn that much more is at stake than they could have imagined. If they fail, it could mean reigniting the war between the MacDonnell and MacConnoway clans, and this is unacceptable. Even if it means sacrificing the one woman who holds the key to his heart in her pale and smooth hand...
  
  For the brave and handsome Highlander, there seems to be only one option - and the extreme action could cost not only his life but hers as well... but is it worth it?
  
  Can the brave Scot and his beloved instead find a way to escape the threat of war and find peace with their families - and perhaps allow true love to blossom once again?
