Laird Declan MacKendrick, falsely imprisoned in King Alexander's dungeon, is offered his freedom with one stipulation―that he marry a border baron's daughter. Accused of murdering his neighbor, a Campbell, Declan means to prove his innocence and find his enemy. If he must marry to do so, then so be it. But Declan doesn't expect his new bride to be as beautiful or beguiling as Lady Isabella.
Isabella Forrester isn't pleased by the king's edict that she marry a man of his choosing. She doesn't believe in marriage for love and always knew she'd marry a man for political alliance. Marriage to a Highlander means that not only must she adjust to a husband, but a whole new way of life amongst people who won't trust her for her Sassenach ways. Then she meets Declan MacKendrick who introduces her to a life she never could have imagined as a wife to a laird.
Her days are spent in loneliness and isolation, but the nights in his sultry embraces might win her heart's surrender. She cannot help but be won over by the noble, seductive Scot. Isabella meets her new husband's son, a lad of tender years who cannot hear. The poor lad is ignored by all in the clan, even his father. Isabella makes it her responsibility to see to his caring and hopes the clan eventually accepts them both.
Declan wants nothing more than to find his accuser to enact his vengeance. He suspects the Campbells are behind the claims that induced his imprisonment. Someone wants to destroy and weaken his clan. But could his enemy be closer than he thinks? When Isabella's life is threatened, Declan must confront a trusted ally to carry out his vengeance.
Will these Highland vows and vengeance hold the promise of love and redemption for Declan and Isabella?
