Summary
Fifteen-year-old Fiona Hay has just been caught stealing cattle by their rightful owner, Angus Gordon. Cattle reivers are routinely put to death, but Fiona has a better option to offer Angus. She'll become his mistress if he'll let her keep the cattle so her young sisters will have some sort of dowry. Angus is aware of the struggle this young lady has had to keep her family together after the death of her father. He finds himself accepting her offer, much to the bemusement of his clansmen. Bertrice Small's books aren't for everyone, They are very detailed in History and Sexual content.
