Reader favorite Colleen French weaves a tempestuous romantic tale set in 17th-century Scotland about forbidden love and the indomitable strength of the human spirit as Kara, a medieval Scottish Lady, must marry Henry, only a boy.
Trapped by fate, Kara fears what their union will be like - especially its consummation. But luckily, much to her relief, what her "husband" needs a mother's care and not a lover's touch.Yet nearby is an older man, her husband's trusted older half-brother, who longs for Kara with a true heart. Ian's deep attraction to Kara grows into scandalous desire and as he struggles to put it aside, his flaming passion only grows stronger, a passion which puts him, Kara, and his half-brother Henry in ever-increasing danger. As forces around the throne and enemies who stand allied against the Mckie clan and against Kara in particular start to do whatever it will take to take the thrown away from Henry, Kara and Ian must protect him and do whatever it takes to keep the boy-king safe.
Only Ian's undying devotion to her and to the young king gives Kara the strength to face what she has to face, a future fraught with deadly intrigue - a future that may destroy everything she holds dear and everyone she loves.

"This Medieval romance was as terrific as the Highland Lord and Highland Lady but it is more suspenseful and had a very unique storyline, unique in that I hadn't read this trope in an historical romance before... .As you can guess, there were lots of obstacles for Kara to overcome to have a relationship of some kind with her husband. And then there was the unexpected obstacle of falling for her husband's older half-brother (Ian) and the obstacle of her husband's evil cousin who wanted the throne for himself. There were moments of cliff-hanging suspense fraught with danger and moments of affection and love in this story... .I loved every minute of it!" - Janice Hougland
"A highland story of love and growing up with great depth of character." - Sara Chaney
"Really loved this one! I am a voracious reader of historical romances and had finished really al succession of mediocre stories and lucked into to this one. - Amazon customer
"The pace was good, the sex was tender and hot, and the emotions among the main characters were real. I definitely will read this author again!" - Amazon customer
