Judith Hampton was as beautiful as she was proud and loyal. Her dear Scottish friend from childhood was about to give birth, and Judith had promised to be at her side. But there was another, private reason for the journey from her bleak English home to the Highlands: to meet the father she had never known, the Laird Maclean. Nothing prepared her, however, for the sight of the Scottish barbarian who was to escort her into his land…Iain Maitland, Laird of his clan, a man more powerfully compelling than any she had ever encountered.
In a spirited clash of wills and customs, Judith reveled in the melting bliss of Iain’s searching kisses, his passionate caresses. Perplexed by her sprightly defiance, bemused by her tender nature, Iain felt his soul growing into the light and warmth of her love. Surely nothing would wrench her from the affection and trust of Iain and his clan…not even the truth about her father, a devastating secret that could shatter the boldest alliance, and the most glorious of loves!

Summary
This is a great historical romance and mystery. The books is funny, romantic, and full of suspense as to the 'secret'. Judith and Iain are great together. I loved the added bonus of the great friendship between Judith and Frances Catherine, and the stories of the secondary characters. I highly recommned this book and read Ransom next.
Violence-Some historical fighting
Language-Some language in the book. It is not distracting.
Sexual-Some physical scenes, well written.
